Spark Aresters – Stop sparks before they reach the filter
Spark arresters are installed upstream of filtration equipment to separate hot particles and coarse spark-carrying material from the air stream before they can enter the filter. They are especially important in welding, cutting and grinding applications where hot particles can create a serious fire risk inside downstream filtration equipment.

ABOUT SPARK ARRESTERS
What are spark arresters and when should you use them?
Spark arresters are passive separation devices designed to remove sparks, hot particles and coarse material from an extraction air stream before the air reaches a filter. They are typically installed in the duct between the production process and the filtration unit. As contaminated air passes through the spark arrester, the internal flow path reduces the energy of hot particles and separates heavier material before it can continue toward the filter. Tehno Filter specifically recommends spark arresters for metalworking processes such as cutting, welding and grinding, where a high volume of sparks may be generated.
Why use a spark arrester?
Filters often contain combustible dust deposits or filter media that can be damaged by hot particles. A spark arrester adds a protective stage ahead of the filter, reducing the chance that ignition-capable particles reach the filtration chamber. It should be treated as part of the overall fire and explosion protection concept, not as a replacement for other required protective measures.

PRODUCT
Spark arresters in our range
Three product families provide different configurations for protecting filtration systems from hot particles and sparks.
INDUSTRIAL SPARK ARRESTER
CUBO
Cubo is a compact spark arresting device designed to reduce the risk of fire or explosion by separating coarse hot particles before they enter the filtration unit. It is installed upstream of the filter and is intended primarily for metalworking processes where cutting, welding and grinding generate significant quantities of sparks.
2,500–15,000 m³/h · passive spark separation
HIGH-CAPACITY SPARK ARRESTER
CONTEGO
Contego is a spark arresting device developed to protect downstream filtration equipment from hot particles generated during demanding metalworking processes. Like Cubo, it is installed before the filter and is designed to separate coarse particles that could otherwise carry enough heat to ignite accumulated dust or damage filter media.
2,500–15,000 m³/h · metalworking applications
SPARK SEPARATION DEVICE
SPARK BUSTER
Spark Buster is designed to reduce the risk of filter ignition by separating sparks and coarse hot particles from the extraction air stream before they reach the filtration unit. It is intended for the same core applications as the other Tehno Filter spark arrester ranges, particularly welding, cutting and grinding processes with a high spark load.
