Everything you need to know about Paint Arrestor

Choosing the correct overspray collector for your paint booth relies on the size of your filters and the kind of covering utilized as a part of the booth. Spray booth Filters and Supply carries heavy-duty paint arrestor filter media in a wide range of materials to suit your coating needs, and at Filtapak, we offer both pads and rolls in different lengths and widths. A large number of our items can likewise be exceptionally custom-sized to fit irregular or unusual booths.

One should not assume that one filter medium is perfect for all applications, or that two different media will work similarly well for all applications, regardless of the possibility that the holding capacity is the same for each. Spray booth traps for paint solids are thoroughly tested to guarantee ideal “arrestance” for the intended finishing application, so make sure to pick the correct sort of paint arrestor.

Paint Arrestor

 

It sounds “green” to say overspray collectors keep the earth cleaner, yet how about we confront truths; keeping the exhaust stack and fan free of overspray build-up guarantees that an exhaust framework can appropriately evacuate VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) and different noxious vapours from a splash booth. That is the main role of a paint arrestor.

Three fundamental strategies are utilized to capture overspray: Cascade (also called a water wash), Baffle, and Media filtration. Numerous advanced high volume spray booths incorporates at least one of these methods of source capture with an end goal to enhance general removal proficiency. A standout amongst the most well-known combination systems is a cascade style booth, with multi-stage media filtration, preceding the exhaust stack, or before a VOC control innovation like a RTO (regenerative thermal oxidizer).

Anybody that looks behind the filters of a spray booth all the time can presumably relate a frightfulness story or two about the condition of the plenum, stack and fan, particularly booths utilized in high volume coating operations. Seeing this gear covered with paint implies a few things have happened.

In the first place, we know the fan is not working at most extreme yield. Second, we realize that the exhaust capacity of that splash booth is no longer meeting the air flow requirements as initially specified. Previously, the paint arrestors failed to accomplish the required removal proficiency, or the sort of coating material changed, or the operator removed a couple of stacked filters from the edge to continue painting until the following movement, and so on. It appears as though the reasons are infinite.
