Paint booth filters are quintessential for ensuring a safe and pollution free environment in paint booths. It is common knowledge that industrial painting processes will generate debris and other material, which if left unattended, could increase toxicity in the area. Moreover, if the materials are not removed in time, then they could get concentrated owing to the confined space of the booth and this could lead to dangerous (often explosive) conditions in the booth.
The disadvantages of not using paint booth filters are as follows:
Lack of Explosive Protection
Without filters, there is a fair chance of the occurrence of accidental overspray that could result in an explosion owing to the chemical constituents of the paint. You would also be unable to control the levels of fuel and air inside the booth and this could increase the risk of combustion.
Unclean Environment
Any paining environment needs a clean and dirt free environment as nothing ruins a fresh coat of paint more than debris or dust settling on the surface when it is wet. In an unclean environment, workers would have to repair any damage made to the coat of paint and would have to increase their efforts. All of this has a negative impact on productivity levels and it also increases the overhead costs owing to repetitive efforts.
Inability to Keep Hazardous Materials in Check
The constituents of the paint may be hazardous in nature and this worsens the conditions inside the booth if fumes were to develop within the confines of the enclosure. Such fumes are only hazardous but they are fatal for any personnel working there. So you should definitely install a filter to keep the air clean and the environment safe.
