A Quick Guide to Picking the Right Filter for Your Space & Needs
Whether you’re managing a spray booth, kitchen, lab, or factory floor, air filtration is critical. The right filter can protect your equipment, improve air quality, and ensure compliance—while the wrong one can lead to poor results and rising costs.
Here’s a simple breakdown of how to choose the right filter based on your industry and goals.
🚗 Car Body Shops & Spray Booths
Goal: Clean air for a flawless finish, overspray control, and fume reduction.
- Overspray Control: Use Procart or Profibre Paintstop filters in extraction systems.
- Clean Intake Air: Install Pleated Panel filters to trap dust before it lands on fresh paint.
- Even Airflow: Ceiling filters help distribute air evenly.
- Fume & Odour Control: Carbon filters absorb VOCs.
- High Precision: For top-tier results, add HEPA filters.
🏭 Manufacturing & Industrial Units
Goal: Protect equipment, reduce dust, and ensure worker safety.
- General Dust Capture: Use Pleated Panel filters for daily dust and debris.
- Higher Capacity: Bag filters offer large surface area and extended dust holding.
- Advanced Filtration: Add HEPA filters for sensitive production like electronics or precision parts.
🧪 Cleanrooms, Labs & Medical Facilities
Goal: Maintain a sterile, contaminant-free space.
- Main Filtration: HEPA filters (removing 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns) are essential.
- Pre-Filtration: Use Pleated Panels or Bag filters as pre-filters to extend HEPA life and improve system efficiency.
🍳 Commercial Kitchens & Food Prep Areas
Goal: Control grease, odours, and airborne contaminants.
- Grease Protection: Start with Baffle or Mesh filters in hoods.
- Odour Control: Add Carbon filters to trap smells and VOCs.
- Air Quality Maintenance: Use Panel filters in HVAC systems for general air cleanliness.
