Fires In Air Filtration Systems

摘要

Great Lakes Air Systems, known for welding air filtration, headquartered in Clawson, Michigan, has become known for stopping fires from occurring in robotic welding applications. In 1994, the company installed their first robotic welding air filtration system, and could immediately see that fires in air filtration systems were a large problem. Great Lakes has developed a spark arrestance system called the SparkOut, which slows the air down through a series of baffle filters, forcing the spark to drop out. This is done at the weld source, so a spark is not allowed to enter the duct. If properly maintained, this system virtually eliminates the risk of fire. The company is a family owned manufacturer of RoboVent Air Filtration Systems and other innovative air filtration products for the welding industry.
