Paint Booth Intake Filters
Intake filters for your paint booth can take on a critical role in your spray booth’s operation. The intake filter removes contaminates from the air entering the booth. The filter, when mounted in the ceiling, also acts as a diffuser to build up air pressure in the plenum and then evenly disperse air flow across the entire ceiling area. There are basically two different styles of intake filters, blankets and ring filters. Blankets are typically used in the ceiling and are mounted into frames built into the paint booth. Ring filters have a steel rod frame built into the filter and can be mounted into the ceiling or doors of the booth. |
Materials for the intake filters come in two basic versions, diffusion media and polyester. Diffusion media is a polyester blend with a tight weave scrim backing on the exit side for larger particles. It has a tacky intake side for smaller particles. Diffusion media typically is 99% efficient on particles 7 – 10 microns. Polyester media is typically green and tacky. It is about 75% to 80% efficient on 10 micron particles. The green tacky filters are an economical answer for crossdraft booths with the filters in the door.
Dirty intake filters will reduce the amount of air flow into the booth causing a negative pressure situation. If your booth doors slam shut or are hard to open during operation, your exhaust may be pulling more air out of the booth than the intake puts into it or negative pressure. You can also have a safety issue when the air flow sensors detect a low or no air flow situation. The sensors will shut down the gas feed into the burner causing the booth to have no heat. Intake filters are generally a condition item that requires changing when performance degrades. We typically recommend changing diffusion media ceiling filters annually.

Paint Booth Exhaust Filters
The exhaust filters in your paint booth typically are the hardest working filters in the system. Exhaust filters catch the overspray particles and capture them before they can be released into the atmosphere. Exhaust filters can be located in several locations such as the floor of a downdraft booth, the bottom of the side walls in a sidedraft booth, and on the back wall or a tower of a crossdraft or semi downdraft booth. These filters typically come in two styles, blanket rolls and pads. The rolls are mostly for downdraft pits but can be used in certain vertical applications too. Pads are of the same material but cut into squares that fit into a frame on the booth. |
Exhaust filter materials are typically fiberglass or a polyester blend. Fiberglass filters come in different weights such as 18 grams or 22 grams. The heavier the weight of the material is, the better their performance. Polyester blend exhaust filters are usually a combination of layers of polyester materials that give greater performance. Many brands use designs of diamonds or waves in the top filter layer in order to create more surface area therefore increasing the lifespan of the filter. No matter what filter you choose, keep in mind that EPA requirements are that the filters perform at least a 98% efficiency rate.
Dirty filters will keep your booth from operating properly. When the exhaust filters clog the air flow will be reduced in the booth. This creates higher pressure in the booth which is indicated by blowing open the doors and creating a haze in the booth when spraying. Changing these filters is a condition item that depends on your shop volume, material sprayed, and other factors.
