Filters may burn or even explode because of sparks within exhaust ducts. GreCon Spark Extinguishing Systems are designed to prevent this. They detect small sparks within the ducts and extinguish them in a split second. Spark sensors detect the infrared radiation of glowing particles. Immediately, a dense water mist spray which extinguishes passing sparks is created in a specified distance downstream from the spark sensors. The production process can continue without interruption during the whole procedure.

Fire insurance companies have noticed the minimised risk when installing spark extinguishing systems and may grant discounts on insurance premium rates of up to 15 %. The regulations of the German Association of Property Insurers (Richtlinien der VdS Schadensverhütung), form 2106, specifically stipulate all requirements on spark extinguishing systems. Precondition for achieving discounts on premium rates is the use of an extinguishment system that is approved by this association.

Spark extinguishing systems are amongst the most efficient fire protection systems as a result of their highly-developed technique and their reliability. The use of these systems for various
applications is even prescribed by the employer's liability insurance associations and by national factory inspectorates. The German Association of Property Insurers (Verband der Schadenversicherer e.V.), Cologne, have published recommendations on premium rate discounts. All these factors, i.e. discounts on premium rates and technical innovations, help to justify the investment required.
