Reducing Fire Risk in the Warehouse

Our client's forklift fleet has been equipped with Flowtech Spark Arrestor including guards.

The Caterpillar forklifts, ranging from 4.0 to 5.5 tonnes, are specifically designed for heavy-duty lifting applications. They offer great utility in warehouse environments. To enhance safety further, additional safety measures such as spark arrestor mufflers can be installed.

One of our clients needed a solution to provide additional safety measures in their warehouse and meet compliant standards with AS1019-2000. The Flowtech team recommended installing spark arrestor mufflers with guards (mounted vertically)on all their Caterpillar forklifts to address their concerns. The guards serve as a protective barrier, preventing any potential risks that may arise from personnel coming into contact with the hot surface.

Driving Compliance and Cost Savings

A Look into Forklift Safety Measures

Apart from providing additional safety in a warehouse environment, the spark arrestor mufflers also offer benefits such as reduced noise levels and lower emissions.

The use of Caterpillar forklifts equipped with spark arrestor mufflers can also result in cost savings for businesses. As the muffler traps sparks, it prevents any potential damage to goods or equipment that could occur due to an uncontrolled fire.

This reduces the risk of expensive repairs or replacements and ensures smooth operations in a warehouse setting.

These additional safety features can also lead to increased efficiency and productivity. The reduced noise levels of the mufflers can result in a quieter working environment, allowing workers to focus better on their tasks without distractions. In addition, lower emissions contribute to a healthier workplace for employees, resulting in fewer sick days and increased productivity.

Why is the Flowtech Spark Arrestor the preferred choice for additional safety features in CAT Forklifts?

  • Made to suit turbo and non-turbo engine
  • Heavy duty & fully welded construction
  • Made from Aluminised material
  • Corrosion Resistant
  • Customisable to reduce noise and emission
  • Compliance to AS1019-2000
  • Compliance with US Forestry Standard 5100-ID

IMPORTANT: Incorrect installation and lack of support for the spark arrestor can lead to premature mechanical failure.

Cummins Diesel Generator Muffler

Diesel Generator excessive noise issue

The problem of noise pollution is becoming a growing concern, particularly for companies that operate in close proximity to residential areas that utilize heavy-duty equipment. Various industries such as construction, mining, and agriculture are actively pursuing solutions to minimize the noise generated by their equipment and machinery.

Our client, a Victoria-based company in Australia specializing in diesel generator and engine solutions faces a similar issue and now requires a customised muffler for their 110kVA Cummins Diesel Generator. The objective was to meet certain noise level reduction (35-40 dBA) requirements while enhancing safety by reducing the emission of hot particulates from engine and exhaust systems.

Diesel generators are extensively used across industries as a dependable power source. However, they have gained notoriety for producing excessive noise levels. This issue can also lead to work delays due to restricted working hours caused by noise disturbance.

Design, plan & achieve quiet efficiency

The Flowtech team was approached to develop a solution for noise and spark-related issues. 

Solution #1: Design and customise SILENCERS to suit the Cummins Generator and achieve a specific noise level reduction.
Solution #2: Adding a SPARK ARRESTOR to ensure compliance with AS1019-2000 standards.

The initial step involved gathering the precise requirements from the client and carefully analyzing the materials provided to our team.

To ensure accuracy, CAD drawings were drafted to confirm all measurements and details.

Once we got the approval from the client, we then proceeded to manufacture the components required to construct the silencers suited for Cummins Generator.

The ultimate custom muffler solution

After spending several days working on design and prototype testing, we finalized the product with a set of tailor-made Flowtech Silencers. These silencers were meticulously designed and constructed to meet the client’s specific requirements. We managed to achieve an impressive noise reduction level of 35-40 dBA range. On top of that, we also built a Flowtech Spark Arrestor that adheres to Australian standards.

The Flowtech Spark arrestors prevent sparks or other combustible materials from escaping the exhaust and potentially causing fires or explosions. This is especially crucial in diesel generators that operate in hazardous environments, such as mines, oil rigs, or chemical plants, where a stray spark can cause catastrophic damage.

Spark arrestors usually have a metal screen or mesh that traps sparks without obstructing the exhaust flow. Many jurisdictions, including Australia, mandate spark arrestors in diesel generators that operate near flammable or explosive materials.

Implementing Generator Emission Control Strategies

Generators are crucial in providing power supply in various sectors, from construction sites, Agriculture or mining environment.
They enable our workspaces to function seamlessly, giving us the convenience of a stable power source in remote locations.

However, generator emissions can harm your personnel and the environment if not properly controlled.

Air pollution from particulate matter and gaseous emissions like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons adversely affect respiratory health.

As generators become more common, it is vital to implement effective emission control strategies to minimize their negative impact.

One essential component to consider when controlling a generator’s harmful emissions is a spark arrestor.

A spark arrestor is installed on the exhaust pipe of the generator to prevent the emission of sparks, which pose a significant fire risk in work areas. By trapping and extinguishing these sparks, spark arrestors ensure that the exhaust gases released into the atmosphere are free of any potential fire-starters, increasing the safety of both workers and the environment.

Adding a Flowtech Spark Arrestor to Your Generator

We recently supplied a Flowtech Spark Arrestor to an overseas client who used it for their client in Melbourne. 

The client was very pleased with the product performance, which meets their needs for efficient and reliable protection from potential fire hazards.

Our Flowtech Spark Arrestors are designed to comply with the Australian Standards AS1019-2000 and US Forestry Standard 5100-1D regulations. This ensures that they provide the highest level of protection against potential combustible particles in the air.

Having a Flowtech Spark Arrestor installed in your equipment can enhance peace of mind by ensuring workplace safety, making it a worthwhile investment.

Here are additional benefits of having a Flowtech Spark Arrestor on your Generator

Aside from the increased safety aspect, spark arrestors come with a range of additional benefits:

Prevent Wildfires: Many wildfires are caused by hot sparks and burning debris escaping from the exhaust system of mobile generators. Spark arrestors can prevent this by trapping and cooling these particles before they are released into the environment.

Meet Regulatory Requirements: Spark arrestors are required in some areas to comply with local, state, or federal regulations. In the United States, for instance, the US Forest Service necessitates spark arrestors in forest areas to minimize the risk of fires.

Extended Generator Life: Accumulation of sparks and debris can eventually reduce the overall performance and efficiency of your generator. By preventing these particles from entering the exhaust system, a spark arrestor helps extend the life of your generator.

Reduce Noise Pollution: A byproduct of the spark arrestor’s function is noise reduction. Installing a spark arrestor can considerably decrease the sound emitted by a generator, leading to a quieter work environment and improved overall user experience.
