Unique Modular System for Optimized Flame Arresters
PROTEGO® FA-I-V devices for the vacuum side and PROTEGO® FA-I-P devices for the pressure side provide a unique modular design that gives every manufacturer of vacuum pumps or comparable devices the option of using optimized and adapted Flame Arresters. Our expert technical staff will assist you with the proper selection of the devices as well as execution of type testing.

Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit
PROTEGO® FA-I-V and FA-I-P devices are symmetrical in design. The arrester essentially consists of two housing parts (1) and the PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit (2) in the center. The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit is modular and consists of several FLAMEFILTER® (3) and spacers firmly held in a
FLAMEFILTER® cage
Compartimiento dos elementos corta-chamas
The FLAMEFILTER® cage is a housing for a FLAMEFILTER® set.
. The number of FLAMEFILTER® and their gap size depends on the arrester´s conditions of use. PROTEGO® FA-I-V and FA-I-P Flame Arresters are available for explosion groups IIA to IIC (NEC groups D to B) and special gases such as Ethylene oxide.
