A wire mesh spark arrestor is a screen that’s installed in an exhaust system to stop hot carbon particles from escaping and igniting nearby vegetation or combustible materials. Spark arrestors can come with many mounting options, such as flanges or collars, that the wire mesh cylinder is resistance-welded to.

These screens are widely used in off-road equipment, chainsaws, generators, and agricultural machinery, and serve two primary purposes: to maintain industry compliance and to provide protection.

Anrod Screen Cylinder Company takes performance and quality control seriously. From design to production, we optimize our spark arrestors for maximum spark retention and flow. The process starts with material selection. We use high-quality, premium-woven stainless steel wire mesh that provides exceptional temperature and vibration resistance, along with precision forming techniques, to ensure consistent performance.
Anrod Screen Cylinder Company has been manufacturing custom filters, strainers, and screens, including spark arrestors, since our founding in 1950. All products are made in-house in our Michigan-based facility, vision-inspected for quality, and customized for your specific application.
