Mesh Pre-Filters
A mesh style filter may resemble what you see inside a kitchen hood. These filters comprise of a metal frame and metal fibers that are intertwined to catch large debris. The benefit of a prefilter is that they can be washed and reused before needing to be replaced. The drawback to a filter is that they are not as good as catching dirt particles before they enter the equipment ductwork and into the intake filters making them last not quite as long.
Mesh filters:
- Come in different sizes
- Come in different styles
- Are most commonly found in Garmat® booths
Mesh Pre-Filters: for Larger Debris
Mesh pre-filters are designed to catch larger debris before it reaches a paint booth’s intake filters. Made from a metal frame and interwoven metal fibers, these filters resemble those found in kitchen hoods and are easy to clean and reuse.
Benefits of Mesh Filters
- Washable and Reusable – filters can be cleaned and reused multiple times, which helps reduce ongoing costs.
- Durable – Their sturdy metal construction makes filters tough and reliable for catching larger contaminants.
- Effective for Larger Debris – They are excellent for trapping items like leaves, bugs, and large particles before they enter the ductwork.
Drawbacks of the Filters
Not Ideal for Fine Particles—While they excel at capturing larger debris, filters are less effective at trapping smaller dirt particles. These particles can still pass through and impact the intake filters, reducing their lifespan.
Common Applications
The filters come in several sizes and styles to suit different booths. Many are used in Garmat® booths because of their versatility and cost-efficiency.
When to Replace Mesh Filters
Although reusable, Filters should be replaced or cleaned regularly to maintain the air quality and prevent damage to intake filters. Frequent cleaning is important to maintain optimal airflow and protect your paint booth system from buildup.
