TECHNICAL BULLETIN: Spray Booth Air Filters – A Brief Overview
Date: 28th May 2020Airclean offer a complete range of air filters for use in wet and dry spray booths. Our customers include car body shops, furniture makers, carpenters, glass companies, and fabrication shops who rely on quality spray booth filters for their business operations. This post gives a quick overview of the range of spray booth filters, and where you may see them as part of a spray booth extraction system.
Primary Spray Booth Filtration – Over-spray / Paint Arrestor
Primary filtration for spray booths is used to remove the bulk of wet and dry over spray. This filter generally spans the “Spray / Wet Zone” of a spray booth to capture paint that does not land on the final product. These products are the basic minimum filtration for any spray booth set up.
Dry Glass Media – (Paint Arrestor / Paint Stop)
Dry Glass Fibre Media is often referred to as paint arrestor or paint stop and comes in a roll form. This filter media has excellent holding capacity for wet and dry spray booth applications.
Pleated Cardboard Spray Booth Filter (Binks-Bullows Filter / Andreae Filter)
Constructed from two sheets of heavy paper containing staggered rows of perforations, to catch and deposit the over-spray. The working section of the filter is pulled across the spray booth and secured. Once the filter becomes too dirty / paint laden to use, it can be cut and removed allowing for a new filter section to be pulled across.
Secondary Spray Booth Filtration
Secondary Filters in spray booth extraction systems are for the capture of finer spray particulates. This material would go after the primary filter, and is generally installed to protect the ductwork, fan, and also to clean air prior to discharge outside.
Blue and White Secondary Synthetic Filter Media for Spray Booths
Secondary Filter Media for Spray Booths is usually Blue and White in colour and is a synthetic material that comes on rolls that can be cut to size. This quality media has a high loft for a high capture rate and long life.
Spray Booth Supply Air Filters
Supply air to a spray booth should be filtered to protect the product from particulates that may damage the final finish. This is essential where high quality finishes are desired on items such as cars, or furniture, or where the air surrounding the spray booth is dusty in locations such as woodwork shops. We would usually expect Supply Air to be filtered to grades G4 or M5 to EN779.
M5 Ceiling Filter is commonly seen in car spray booths mounted above the vehicle where air is supplied into the booth. This air filter is high quality, usually white in colour, is often sticky to the touch and has rubber backing. These properties help to lock in captured particles, and prevent them from falling onto the product below them. This material is available on rolls, but due to its awkward bulky nature is often cut to size by the manufacturer.

Spray Booth Air Filters A Brief Overview - HEPA Filters – Retrofitting in Various Scenarios May 20, 2020Continue reading →
TECHNICAL BULLETIN : HEPA Filters for Infection Control – Retrofitting in Various Scenarios
Date: 22nd May 2020This technical bulletin aims to explain various scenarios and methods of using HEPA filters to introduce infection control in the workplace, hospitals, homes, schools, and other indoor environments.
Improved ventilation and infection control are becoming a requirement in all indoor environments in light of the Corona Virus Pandemic. In some scenarios this will include HEPA filters which can be difficult to retrofit into situations due to their high resistance to airflow, bulky nature and specialist installation requirements.
The following scenarios show how the Airclean HEPA Air Purifier, or Airclean Fan + Filter Indoor Air Quality Filtration System, can be used to quickly retrofit HEPA filtration into your indoor environment, with minimal disruption.
Fan + Filter IAQ 
HEPA Air Purifier 
HEPA Filter Terminal Housing HOSPITAL ISOLATION ROOM – Typical
Extract : Standalone fan extracts through wall mounted HEPA Terminal Housing maximising infection control, both in and out of the room.
HOSPITAL / CAREHOME ISOLATION ROOM – Emergency
Extract : Airclean HEPA Air Purifier in extract setup discharging through wall or window, to put room under negative pressure.
DENTIST – Negative Pressure
Extract : Airclean HEPA Air Purifier in extract setup discharging through wall or window, to put room under negative pressure.
All Scenarios РNo HVAC Option РCare Home, Office, School, etc
The Airclean HEPA Air Purifier will improve air quality, and reduce infection transmission in any scenario, independent of existing heating and cooling systems, by recirculating and cleaning the air.
FAN COIL SYSTEMS – Scenario 1 (Restaurants, Offices)
The Airclean HEPA Air Purifier can be mounted in a room and ducted to supply fresh clean air to the back of existing fan coil air conditioning. The fan in the Air Purifier allows the system to be balanced, allowing existing fan coil fans, to handle the strain.
FAN COIL SYSTEMS – Scenario 2
The Airclean Fan + Filter Unit can be mounted in the ceiling void supporting an existing fan coil, or air handling unit, to improve filtration. The fan within the Fan + Filter Unit removes any additional load on existing equipment.

We have designed a new Technical Bulleting surrounding the size of particles in microns.
A similar chart has been available as a technical bulletin for many years. We has revamped this in April 2020 amidst the corona virus pandemic as part of the Airclean information suite for the understanding of Corona Virus
and filtration.The following chart is a generalised summary of particle sizes that are encountered in both indoor and outdoor environments in microns. This chart can be used as guidance in the selection of air filters.
