Spray Booth Input Filter - Protop

Spray Booth Input Filter - Protop

The most important filtration within an enclosed spray booth or preparation area is the filtration of the air ENTERING the booth. This element is quite often forgotten, however filtering the air going into the booth is vital for the quality of the finished item.

Description

Widely known as a ceiling filter or intake filter, our Protop is an absolute must for many types of spray booths. Normally used in balanced spray booths, car body shops, and spray booths where a very high-quality finish is required, this input filter will capture and hold dust, ensuring the spray booth is a clean air environment.

Our entire range of Protop filter rolls are impregnated with a clear gel, which is designed to hold on to the  captured dust within the fibres of the filter, not allowing it to be dislodged by vibrations.  This can be vital for a ceiling filter as loose dust can fall onto painted surfaces and ruin the finish.

We offer you the Protop with or without a white, strengthening scrim that can help to support the filter during fitting and when in place.  The technical specifications for both types of filter are the same, the scrim is the only difference.  The filter with the scrim is the most popular amongst our customers.

FAQs

Which way around should the input filter be fitted?

You will find that our Protop 600 has a supporting scrim, on one side, and this side should face into the booth. This means that the air enters the side without the scrim and exits the side with the scrim. With our Protop 500 there isn't a supporting scrim but one side has print upon it and it is this side that faces into the booth, therefore the side that the air exits from.

Can I cut the ceiling filter myself?

The Protop intake filter can be cut, quite easily, but make sure to lay the filter on a clean surface before cutting. As the fibre is slightly tacky, it will hold any dirt that it comes into contact with so keeping it clean, whilst cutting, is important. You will be able to cut it with a sharp knife or a large pair of scissors.

Will this input filter fit into any booth?

Protop can certainly be fitted within any booth but, due to its dense fibre content, you may find that the booth fan struggles for airflow. Normally, Protop is used in balanced booths or booths with a very high potential airflow. If you can't use Protop then we would suggest using our Pleated Panels, Glass Panels or Proprep to filter the air entering your spray booth. If you would like any further information, then please just Contact Us.

What is the point of the scrim on the Protop 600?

The scrim serves two purposes; firstly, it is an easy way to identify which way around the filter should be fitted as it is the scrim side that faces into the spray booth. Secondly, the scrim acts as a reinforcing and strengthening layer which can ease the installation process.
