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.

As with all the spray booth filters within our PROCART range, the Procart M2 has been designed to give the best air filtration for the air within your spray booth. When using the filter, you can be assured that the correct filtration is taking place leaving you to concentrate on your painting.

Designed to be used with all types of water-based and solvent-based paint, our Procart M2 can give you complete filtration flexibility, so that you need only use one filter, even if you spray different types of paint including some powder paint.

The primary concertina cardboard layers will maximise airflow even when the filter is full due to its accordion design. The secondary ‘M2’ filtration layer, adhered with water-based glues, works in a very similar way to our Procart H filter so that any paint particles that bypass the initial primary cardboard filter will be caught thus not reaching the booth fan. The higher quality fibre of our Procart M2 will maintain a smooth and constant airflow and will last longer than alternative filters. This means that the Procart M2 will not require changing as often as many other filter types especially fibreglass rolls.

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.

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

Our Procart M2 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 couple of folds to hold the filter at each end. However, don't feel that you must stick to 26 folds regardless. 26 folds per metre is a minimum and can be increased to allow for individual circumstances such as a very high airflow.

You mention a maximum airflow, what is it?

The recommended maximum airflow is 1-metre per second (m/s). If your airflow is higher than this then it doesn't mean that you can't use the filter but it does mean that you may have to make some slight changes to ensure you have the best filtration quality. The easiest change to make is to increase the number of folds per metre. Even a small increase of 2 or 3 folds per meter will make a noticeable difference.

How do I measure the airflow?

You can buy an anemometer which will give you a very accurate reading. If you don't have one of these then there are a couple of 'homemade' methods to tell if your airflow is too fast. One method is once the filters have been installed, turn on the fan and stand with your back to the filters. Once the air has settled you should feel a very slight temperature drop and draft on your face. You shouldn't find yourself stuck to the filters. If this happens then the airflow is a little on the high side.

What difference does a smooth airflow make?

The smoother the airflow pattern then the less turbulence there is within the spray booth. This gives a smooth flow of air over the items being painted drawing overspray towards the filter and less dust being drawn from the booth floor. It also means less resistance upon the booth fan as it can pull air in a constant pattern.
