Paint Spray Booth Filters - Frequency of replenishment
Rank: Guest

Posted By HarveyJ
Good afternoon,
What frequency would you recommend we change the air flow filters within our paint spray booth..
Info that may assist in answering:-
Paints - organic solvent based/isocyanate & syntheic resins
we spray for 3 full days per week (7.5 hour shift)
At present the operative brushing them down every 4 weeks and replacing on average every quarter. I am concerned that this may not be the best practice?
I would like some advice please
many thanks in advance

your paint spray booth will be classed as LEV so I advice you to get hold of a copy of HSG258 Controlling Airbourne Contaminants At Work. Its full of good stuff and things that a HSE Inspector would expect to see. One thing that it recommends is the fitting of flow gauges so you can see if the filters are working at their prime. These could have a pressure scale reading or simply be a red or green zone indicator.I assume that your equipment is currently inspected at 14 monthly intervals and has been commissioned, if not, then you should be doing this also.
