Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the exhaust filters in your spray booth:
- Verify Compatibility: Before installation, ensure the filter dimensions (16 x 7.25 x 0.78 inches) are compatible with your portable airbrush or paint spray booth. The filters are compatible with various spray paint tents.
- Prepare the Booth: Open your spray booth and locate the filter slot or area where the exhaust filter is typically placed.
- Remove Old Filter (if applicable): Carefully remove any existing or used filters from the booth. Dispose of old filters responsibly according to local waste regulations.
- Insert New Filter: Place one of the new ABKO exhaust filters into the designated slot. Ensure it fits snugly to prevent paint particles from bypassing the filter. The filter features a single-sided spray glue for good adsorption.
- Customization (Optional): If your booth requires a different shape or size, the filter material is soft and flexible, allowing it to be cut to your specific needs using a sharp utility knife or scissors.
- Secure the Booth: Close your spray booth according to its manufacturer's instructions.

Operation
Once installed, the exhaust filters operate passively as part of your spray booth's ventilation system. They are designed to capture airborne paint particles and overspray during airbrushing or painting operations, contributing to a cleaner exhaust and a safer breathing environment.
- Ensure the spray booth's fan is functioning correctly to draw air through the filter.
- Always use the filters in conjunction with proper ventilation and personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators, especially when working with hazardous paints or chemicals.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your exhaust filters is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and a clean working environment.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the filter for signs of heavy paint accumulation or clogging. The frequency of inspection will depend on your usage and the type of paint used.
- Replacement: Replace the filter when it becomes saturated with paint particles or when airflow through the booth significantly decreases. A clogged filter reduces the efficiency of your spray booth and can lead to paint particles escaping into the environment.
- Disposal: Dispose of used filters according to local regulations for paint waste, especially if you are using solvent-based paints.
- Cleaning: While the filters are designed for replacement, their material is easy to clean for light dust or debris. However, for heavy paint saturation, replacement is recommended over cleaning to ensure maximum filtration efficiency.
Troubleshooting
- Issue: Reduced airflow or poor paint particle capture.
- Solution: This is typically an indication that the filter is saturated and needs replacement. Inspect the filter and replace it if it appears clogged with paint. Ensure the spray booth's fan is operating correctly.
- Issue: Filter does not fit correctly in the spray booth.
- Solution: Double-check the dimensions of your spray booth's filter slot against the filter's dimensions (16 x 7.25 x 0.78 inches). The filters are flexible and can be cut to size if needed for a custom fit.
User Tips
- For optimal performance and to extend the life of your spray booth, consider having spare filters on hand, especially if you paint frequently.
- When cutting the filters to size, use a sharp utility knife or scissors for clean edges to ensure a proper fit.
- Always ensure a tight seal around the filter to maximize its effectiveness in capturing overspray and maintaining a clean environment.
