In pneumatic transport equipment and mechanical conveyor systems which transport combustible materials, flying sparks can often lead to fires or filter explosions. Flying sparks are generally caused by the machines used or material soiling. Production downtime, high property damage and hazards for human life and limb are the result. In order to exclude this risk, extraction systems must be monitored for flying sparks and protected by spark extinguishing systems. If spark extinguishing systems in compliance with the directives of the Verband der Sachversicherer (Association of Non-Life Insurers) (VdS 2106) are installed, non-life insurers will grant a discount of up to 15%.
