Procart B

The folded 'accordion' design, of this Procart B spray booth filter, ensures a high paint holding capacity whilst maintaining maximum airflow for much longer than many types of air filtration alternatives such as fibreglass rolls. Our spray booth filters will ensure that air, from your product finishing area, is filtered effectively.

This Procart spray booth filter is designed to filter all types of water and solvent based paints and other types of coating but not powder paints or dust (for this we recommend the use of our Procart M2 or Procart H booth filters). With this design of paper filter your overspray is captured on both on the face of the filter and within the folds which allows the booth air to pass through the filter with minimal obstruction until full, thus a constant, smooth airflow is maintained for much longer than using other types of extraction filtration. What is so important about airflow? Without it you don't have a proper functioning spray booth and you won't be able to produce a proper finish so a good airflow is vital to the running of your spray booth.

If you are looking to spray powder or very dry or dusty paints or feel that your spray booth may suffer from a high percentage of overspray or you are experiencing problems with dust or paint traveling through your ducting and ending up outside of your factory then you may want to look at the other options within our Filtration range or feel free to call us on 01673 895130 or email us for further assistance.

If you require a non-standard size then simply select the closest standard size larger than your required size. During the check-out process you can complete your required size in the box for special requests. If you would prefer to tell us your requirements then this is fine however you can still purchase your filters here.

Can I use this filter with powder paints?

We wouldn't recommend using the Procart B with powder paints as it isn't designed to capture the very fine, dry powder without modifications. If you are using solely powder paint or most of your spraying is with powder paint, then we would recommend using our Procart M2 filter. If most of your spraying is with traditional 'wet' spray and you may do a little spraying with powder, then the Procart M2 can still be used or try the Procart H.

How do I know how much filter to put into my booth?

The Procart B should be fitted at a minimum of 26 folds per meter. This means that if your booth measures 2-metres wide then you would need to count 2 x 26 folds (52 folds) plus a couple of extra folds to hold the filter at each end. However, don't feel that you must stick to 26 folds regardless. 26 folds is a minimum and can be increased to allow for individual circumstances such as a very high airflow.

Which side of a Procart is the front?

The white side is the front of the filter. This means that the white side should face into your spray booth and this is the side onto which you spray.

How long will a Procart filter last?

How long is a piece of string? One of our Procart filters will last until it is full at which point it will need to be changed. This means that the more you use the filter then the sooner it will need to be changed. This may sound obvious, but many people seem to struggle with the concept that the Procart is in place to capture overspray and the more it captures then then the sooner it will need to be changed.

How many filters are in a box?

You are getting one length of filter per box which you then cut to the size of your booth. Cutting is easy, just count the number of folds that you want and use a sharp knife to cut to length.

We want to use your Procart filters but our booth is 98cm high. What can we do as you don't offer that height?

We have 4 standard heights for our Procart range which is 0.5-metres, 0.75-metres, 0.9-metres and 1-metre. These sizes meet the height requirements of the vast majority of spray booths however, should your booth have a different height then the filters can be cut to meet your requirements.

Can I order odd height sizes online?

You can. Simply order the standard height filter that is the closest but larger than your requirements. As you progress through the ordering process you will be invited to leave any special delivery or order instructions, this is where you can confirm the height at which you wish the filter to be cut. We will cut the filter and make no additional charge for doing so.

How do I decide between a Procart B and a Procart H?

Firstly the Procart B and Procart H are the same basic filter design, the pleated cardboard and holes in the front and back are the same in both filters. This means that whatever you use the Procart B to filter you can use the Procart H to filter. The only difference is that the Procart H has a fibre backing which means that it is a higher efficiency filter therefore we recommend using the Procart H if you have higher than normal airflow (in excess in 1-metre per second), spray dry/dusty or powder paint or spray closer to the filter than the recommended distance of 1-metre.
