Spray booths rely on efficient air filtration to maintain a clean, safe, and high-performance environment. At the core of this process are two types of filters:
Input Filters – Clean incoming air by removing dust and other contaminants before it enters the spray booth or prep area.
Extraction Filters – Capture particles added to the air inside the booth, such as paint, glue, or dust, before they exit the system.
Here’s a detailed look at the types of filters we offer and how they serve different spray booth needs.
Procart filters are multi-layered cardboard filters designed specifically for extraction. They’re built to capture a wide range of particles - paint overspray, glue mist, dust - while maintaining optimal airflow within the booth.
High holding capacity for waste particles
Maintains consistent airflow to increase filter lifespan
Compatible with all types of paints and coatings
Suitable for most spray booth designs
Procart H, M2, and KH: Equipped with an extra fibre layer for improved performance with light or dry particles like powders.
Ideal for booths with higher-than-recommended airflow or limited spraying distances.
Procart I: A non-flammable variant, ideal for environments requiring additional fire safety.
These filters come in various materials, typically glass fibre or woven synthetic fibre, and are suitable for both input and extraction tasks.
While suitable for both input and extraction, the Protop range is designed specifically for input filtration where ultra-clean air is required for high-quality surface finishes.
Panel filters are available in two main styles - fibreglass and pleated - and come in a variety of thicknesses and sizes.
Fibreglass Panels:
Best for extraction use only.
Fibre structure is too loose for effective input filtration.
Pleated Panels:
Can be used for both input and extraction.
More often used as secondary filters, rather than the primary extraction barrier.
Provide odour and fume absorption, suitable for input or extraction.
Finepleat Polypropylene Panels:
Great for removing moisture from intake air.
Frame Materials:
Standard: Cardboard
Optional: Galvanised metal for more durability (especially in pleated designs)
HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are the gold standard in air purification, used in medical, healthcare, and cleanroom environments.
Removes at least 99.97% of airborne particles
Captures dust, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other fine contaminants
Ideal for industries where sterile conditions are required
Available in wooden or galvanised frames, these filters are essential for managing the airflow pattern inside the booth.
Laminar Flow Filters:
Slimmer design
Produces smooth, controlled airflow for precision coating applications
Turbulent Flow Filters:
Thicker frame for higher airflow rates
Suitable for larger or high-throughput spray booths
HEPA Deep Pleated Filters:
Maximum filtration performance
Used in sterile or ultra-clean environments like hospitals and high-grade manufacturing
The right filter depends on your booth’s purpose, airflow design, and the types of materials you work with. Here’s a quick guide:
| Requirement | Recommended Filter Type |
|---|---|
| General Paint/Glue Extraction | Procart, Profibre |
| Water-Based Paint | Propora |
| Coarse Dust or High Overspray | Progiallo |
| Ultra-Clean Input Air | Protop, Finepleat, HEPA |
| Odour/Fume Control | Carbon Pleated |
| Fire Safety Concern | Procart IB |
| High-Flow Booths or Limited Spray Space | Procart H/M2/KH, Turbulent Flow Filters |
| Sterile or Medical Applications | HEPA, Deep Pleated HEPA, Laminar Flow |
