BOFA Spark Arrestor 2 – Inline Spark Protection System for Dust Extraction

Spark Protection for Industrial Extraction Systems Key Features & Benefits Ideal Applications Technical Specifications Recommended Products The BOFA Spark Arrestor 2 is designed to protect extraction systems by intercepting hot particulate and ignition sources before they reach the main filtration unit. Installed inline between the process and extraction system, it acts as a pre-separator and safety barrier, helping reduce the risk of fire, filter damage, and system failure. Where does the Spark Arrestor 2 fit in your system? Unlike DustPRO units, the Spark Arrestor 2 is: Not an extractor — it is a safety add-on Installed between the process and the extractor Typically used with DustPRO 1000 iQ systems Quick View Extraction Units BOFA DustPRO 1000 iQ Heavy-Duty Dust Extraction Unit – Industrial HEPA Extraction System £5,144.15 incl VAT Who is the Spark Arrestor 2 for? The Spark Arrestor 2 is essential for: Combustible dust applications (e.g. aluminium, titanium) Laser processes (cutting, marking, engraving) Additive manufacturing / 3D metal printing Any process generating sparks or hot particulate If your process produces non-combustible dust only, a standard DustPRO unit is sufficient If working with combustible or ignition-risk materials, this unit becomes critical Need help deciding which BOFA Extraction System is right for your operation?Try using our Workplace Extraction Flow Chart or Contact our experts for advice Key Features & Benefits of The Spark Arrestor 2 Intercepts Ignition Sources The Spark Arrestor 2 is engineered to capture and slow hot burning particulate before it enters the extraction unit. Specially designed impingement plates inside the airflow path slow the burning particulate until it falls safely into a drop-out chamber. This protects: Extraction filters Extraction blowers Workshop environments Equipment and machinery Thermal Flow Cut-Out Protection For additional safety, the Spark Arrestor 2 includes a temperature monitoring system. If the internal temperature rises 10 °C above ambient, the system will: Sound an alarm Automatically shut down the extraction unit This provides an extra layer of protection for operations generating sparks or burning particulate. Removable Drop-Out Chamber The Spark Arrestor includes a removable drop-out tray designed to safely collect burning debris. Benefits include: Easy cleaning and maintenance Safe containment of captured particulate Reduced contamination entering the extraction system Industrial Stainless Steel Construction The Spark Arrestor 2 features a durable stainless steel cabinet, designed to withstand demanding industrial environments and prolonged use. Additional features include: Hinged door access Castor wheels for positioning Warning beacon and temperature display Ideal Applications Following our BOFA Workplace Extraction Flow Chart, the Spark Arrestor 2 is recommended where: Dust generated may be combustible Processes generate sparks or hot particulate Materials such as titanium or aluminium are processed Additive manufacturing or 3D metal printing processes are used Additional fire risk protection is required High-risk materials are being processed The DustPRO 1000 iQ extraction system is installed Quick View Extraction Units BOFA DustPRO 1000 iQ Heavy-Duty Dust Extraction Unit – Industrial HEPA Extraction System £5,144.15 incl VAT Typical applications include: Laser cutting, marking & engraving Metal additive manufacturing Titanium & aluminium machining Industrial processes generating sparks Technical Specifications Specification Details Part No. 1U30106163-1924-2 Dimensions (H × W × D) 670 × 415 × 535 mm Weight 41 kg Electrical 100 – 230V single phase Full Load Current 0.5 amps Compatible Extraction Units DustPRO 1000 iQ Compatible Hose Kit Hose Kit 2 Cabinet Construction Stainless steel Approvals UKCA & CE These specifications provide a compact yet robust inline safety system designed for integration with industrial extraction equipment. Recommended Products for the Spark Arrestor 2 Extraction Unit (Required) The Spark Arrestor 2 is designed to be used as an inline safety feature within dust extraction systems, this means an extraction unit is required. The spark arrestor is most commonly used with the DustPRO 1000 iQ.
