Filter Chests
Filter Chest
The AES filter chest is manufactured from prime 18 SWF formed galvanised sheet steel in a panel form. It is complete with all fixing nuts and bolts and a non flameproof belt drive axial type fan set, which can be optionally mounted to the top or rear of the booth scrubber section, non flameproof starters and one carton of 'Andreae' disposable paper filter or green guaze is available.
The booth has a choice of disposable filters across the face of the extraction chamber. The result is that the sticky paint adheres to the filter surfaces and reasonably clean air is discharged. For maximum efficiency, it is most important that these filters are kept in perfect working condition.
