Filters and Consumables

Solutions You Can Trust

Filtration & Consumables are a necessary and unavoidable byproduct of performing any spray coating operation. To achieve/exceed safety standards and codes during normal spray coating operations, extend the service life of your coating operation equipment, and achieve a quality coated product, paint booth and application equipment consumables such as paint booth filters, paint liners, disposable cups, overspray paper, etc. are necessary and should not be overlooked. Monthly filtration and consumable products consumption should be a direct correlation between production and are one of the best products to begin to build your SOP and PM processes around.

Paint Booth Filters

Paint booth filters—intake and exhaust—work together to maintain clean airflow, protect workers, ensure regulatory compliance, and deliver high-quality paint finishes. Different filter styles offer options tailored to the type of coating, application volume, and booth design.

Process Specific Filtration Types

Exhaust Air Filtration (Overspray)
- Exhaust filtration efficiencies can affect the paint booth operation by impacting booth balance, booth maintenance, cleaning costs and the liability associated with paint deposits on adjacent properties. With emissions standards governed by several factors, most paint exhaust systems now include multi-stage filtration products. SurfacePrep specializes in supplying systems that will meet or exceed all government and state paint filtration regulations. Listed below are our exhaust filtration products. For filters specific to your industry, coating, process and equipment, contact your SurfacePrep specialist.
Intake (Incoming Air)
- As the initial phase for your filtration system, pre-filters and air intake filters can set the stage for the quality of the entire paint filtration process. These filters are designed to filter the large airborne particulate which accumulate on fans and coils and prematurely clog final and ceiling diffusion filtration systems. Listed below are A.J.Dralle’s entire line of pre-filters and air intake filters. For filters specific to your industry, click aerospace, industrial, or automotive.

Application Specific Filtration Types

Liquid Coatings Process Filtration
- Spray applied liquid coatings generate overspray. Liquid Coating paint booth exhaust and intake filters can come in various materials, sizes, and efficiencies and should be selected depending on the coating(s) you are applying, air flow design & performance, desired finish quality, and acceptable booth maintenance downtime. SurfacePrep has finishing specialists available to specify and supply the correct liquid coating filtration system for your process.
Powder Coating Process Filtration
- Spray applied powder coatings generate overspray. Powder Coating paint booth exhaust and intake filters can come in various materials, sizes, and efficiencies and should be selected depending on the coating(s) you are applying, air flow design & performance, desired finish quality, and acceptable booth maintenance downtime. SurfacePrep has finishing specialists available to specify and supply the correct powder coating filtration system for your process.
Material Being Applied Filtration
- For consistent results when spray applying liquid or powder coatings and materials, material filters are utilized during various steps of the coating process, including pouring, transferring, and applying. From strainers to in-line material filters, SurfacePrep has the knowledge and correct filtration product for your coating and material application needs.
Compressed Air Supply Filtration
- Compressed air is oftentimes utilized to operate finishing equipment, which if not properly filtered, can lead to premature equipment failures, quality defects, and expensive rework. Compressed air filtration can come in various forms depending on the CFM and quality requirements of your process. Consult with a SurfacePrep finsihing specialist today to purchase to correct filter for your unique process.
