Paint Booth Ceiling / Intake Filters
Without properly cleaning the air before it enters a paint booth, contamination of your paint finish will cause extra time buffing and not a perfect finish. Optimal airflow in a paint booth ensures paint dries correctly and has the least amount of particulates that can be embedded in your paint.
Spray booth intake filters, also known as ceiling filters, make up the second stage of the air filtration process. They can resemble large “blankets” with a thicker version of the polyester batting typically sewn into quilts. They can also be made up of individual pads meant to fit into a framework. Some paint booth filter pads have an integrated metal framework to increase their rigidity.
Paint contamination prevention is always a priority, but a paint booth intake filter is one of the most important filters and needs changed regularly. When air enters from outside, it can have many different contaminates including pollen, dirt, small debris and more! All of these items you do not want entering in to your booth!
Paint Booth Ceiling / Intake filters:
- Should be relaced every 6-12 months depending on the usage of your booth
- Can be either a pad style with a wire frame or a blanket style
- Constructed of Polyester materials
- Has a tactifier wax like substance in the fiber to grab small particulates
- Can be located in the ceiling or in the doors depending on the style of the booth
When choosing an intake / ceiling filter, the following should be evaluated:
- Efficiency / MERV rating
- Size of filter
- Style of filter
- Type of paint booth (crossdraft, downdraft, etc.)
