Fiberglass Paint Booth Filters should be changed at appropriate times in order to maintain safety and proper Paint Booth pressure. In order to calculate when a specific filter should be changed ask your supplier and create a schedule either by a timer or by usage hour calculator. Changing the filters at the correct time is is very important for safety and quality of spray. When the Filters become clogged they effect the exhaust rate of flow which will change the proper pressure. Please feel free to contact Chemco for more information. 800.323.0431

 

Chemco Manufacturing Co. is a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of industrial filters and maintenance products to fabricating plants and service facilities. We’ve been helping to solve filtration and maintenance issues for many well-respected companies in various industries for almost 5 decades.

With nearly 50 years of experience in the industry, Chemco Manufacturing has pioneered a number of engineering design improvements in the area of dust collection and overspray filtration systems. state-of-the-art cartridge manufacturing line customizes filters in all media styles and sizes to fit any dust collection or powder coating system. For liquid-coating operations, we offer standard sized pads, custom cuts, and bulk rolls in over 30 different fiberglass, polyester and paper media options.

Use of Chemco filters require no modifications to existing dust collector or spray booth equipment. They are easily installed, reduce overall maintenance and production downtime, and meet or exceed all minimum EPA and OSHA code requirements for safe and efficient removal of dust particulate and paint overspray. Generally speaking, use of Chemco cartridge filters paint arrestors decrease the likelihood of production stoppages, overall maintenance costs, product rejects, fire hazards, and potential damage to exhaust stacks, motors and fan blades, rooftops and parking lots.

As a leader in the industrial filtration and spray booth maintenance supply industry, we also offer a complete line of spray gun equipment, respiratory products, peel-able and rinse-able booth coatings, flame-retardant floor coverings, air intake filters, booth hardware and many sundry items.

Typically, fiberglass paint booth filters offer competitive, if not superior performance to paper, paper/poly, and conventional polyester filtration. Fiberglass filters usually cost less when used in paint booths compared to other types of filter media. In all instances, there is a fiberglass filter that can replace most other types of filter medias in painting finishing operations. Fiberglass filters are constructed in various different weave patterns that yield variable performance characteristics. Fiberglass filtration is typically offered in a multitude of types of efficiency levels, gram weights, thicknesses, colors, sizes, paint holding capacities and densities.

It is imperative that the correct type of filter be chosen by a trained professional to yield the maximum performance. In some instances fiberglass filtration is made with polyester backing in operations that require high efficiency. Polyester backed fiberglass filtration will often result in a higher cost because this type of fiberglass hybrid filter costs more to produce and is a premium choice for some spray operations. Fiberglass paint booth filtration is considered to be the best available technology of all paint overspray collection filtration types.

Paper and paper/poly paint booth filters may be seen as frequently as fiberglass filtration in many operations. Paper and paper/poly paint booth filters tend to cost more to buy and ship than conventional fiberglass paint booth filtration. Compared to more modern filtration media (fiberglass polyester), paper and paper/poly filters are somewhat limited in how they perform in certain operations.

Polyester paint booth filters are typically used in liquid coating and in some powder coating applications. Polyester filtration is typically more costly to manufacture, ship, and use. Polyester filter media is a dense material that tends to hold higher amounts of overspray particulate when compared to a paper or paper/poly type of filter.
