Paint Booth Pre-Filters
Pre-filters are the first stage used in a paint booth to clean the air. Also known as air makeup filters, pre-filtering keeps the air system purified from
- Bugs
- Dirt
- Large debris
that can potentially deteriorate your paint booth’s air filtration system. After pre-filtering, the purified air is then passed through ductwork where it reaches the intake filters before entering
the booth.
Paint booth Pre-filters can come in a variety of different forms, such as metal screens, or “bags.” However, not all spray booths come equipped with built-in pre-filters. Manufacturers have designed their equipment to take certain types and sizes of prefilters to provide a clean finish for your projects and they can be specific to not only a manufacturer, but to a model of a booth.
Paint Booth Pre-Filters
Paint booth pre-filters serve as the critical first line of defense for your air filtration system. Often called air makeup filters, they capture large contaminants like dirt, bugs, and debris before they enter your ductwork or reach the intake filters. By trapping heavy particles early, pre-filters protect your air handling equipment from deterioration and ensure consistent airflow throughout the system. Keeping these filters clean is the most effective way to maintain a purified air supply for your spray operations.
Available in various forms such as bags, pockets, and metal screens, pre-filters are designed to fit specific booth makes and models. Because not every booth uses the same setup, choosing the correct replacement size is essential for proper sealing and efficiency. The right pre-filter extends the lifespan of your downstream intake filters and ensures a cleaner environment for your paint jobs.
