Paint Booth Filters

For any paint booth to work efficiently, it needs at least three basic things: clean supply air, exhaust air and efficient air filters. Clean air is an important component of any quality paint job and paint booth filters perform two very important jobs which requires two different types of filters. They clean the intake air and they also clean the exhaust air.

Two Types of Paint Booth Filter

Supply air filters are used to filter the air before it enters your paint booth and help to keep dust to a minimum. This ensure a quality paint job and satisfied customers. Because supply air filters are filtering finer particles from the air than the exhaust air filters, they have to be much more efficient.

High Dust Loading Capacity For Long Filter Life

Ring panel paint booth air filters are perfect for ceiling mount downdraft paint booths. These filters are constructed in layers of graduated density material for optimized dust loading capacity and have a MERV 7 rating which makes it very suitable for paint booth applications. The paint ring panel filter comes in either 12 or 24 packs and are available in most common sizes.

Wire Frame Construction To Withstand High Velocity Air Flow

They are made of layers of moisture resistant, 100% synthetic polyester material supported by a galvanized wire frame. The sturdy frame enables the filter to withstand high velocity air flow without sagging and the overlapping edge design means the filter material extents beyond the frame which prevents dust particle bypass and provides maximum filtration.

Exhaust air filters are used to capture paint over spray so that it doesn’t enter the exhaust air stream and coat the propeller fan or exhaust duct. Excessive amounts of paint build up on these components can cause fan damage due to exhaust chamber narrowing and the fan blades becoming unbalanced and breaking.

Prevent Paint Overspray From Fouling Fans And Property

Exhaust fan blades are usually made of hard fibers so that they are light. Unfortunately this also means they are not as strong as metal fans and can't take to much abuse. Your booth can be down for days while you wait for a new fan blade to arrive. Exhaust air filters also help to reduce any paint smell and prevents paint over spray from contaminating nearby buildings and cars.

Paint booth exhaust air filters, although they also do an important job, are not as efficient as supply air filters. They are only required to stop larger particles and prevent them from escaping the paint booth. This also means they don't have much of an impact on air flow through the paint booth chamber.

Just remember that when purchasing automotive paint booth filters, whether online or from a local supplier, be sure to check quality and select one that will perform well. Inferior paint booth filters in the industry attract consumers with their cheaper price but the real cost of these cheaper versions shows up in an poor paint job.
