Intake Panel Filters: Essential for Clean Airflow

Intake panel filters are designed with an integrated metal framework to provide rigidity and ensure a secure fit within a paint booth’s mounting frame. These filters come in several styles and materials, tailored to different paint booth configurations.

Downdraft Style Paint Booths

  • Use pad filters, typically white in color, installed in the ceiling.
  • Commonly referred to as R-1 or AFR-1 filters.
  • Available in several sizes, typically ranging from 20” to 25”.
  • Provide 95%+ filtration efficiency, ensuring clean, contaminant-free airflow.

Crossdraft Style Paint Booths

  • Feature pads or panels located in the doors or on a wall.
  • Typically white, 2-ply filters with a fabric of mesh surface that require more frequent replacement.
  • Less dense than downdraft filters, making them more prone to contamination.
  • Offer approximately 75% filtration efficiency, as they often filter shop air, which contains dust and debris.

When to Replace Your Intake Panel Filters

Regular replacement is necessary to maintain optimal airflow and paint quality:

  • Downdraft booth filters last longer due to cleaner intake air.
  • Crossdraft booth filters require more frequent changes due to exposure to shop air contaminants.
