GFS PAINT BOOTH FILTERS

New and old (legacy) GFS part numbers, sizes and box quantities as published on the GFS Paint Booth Filters page.

GFS Wave Filters

GFS Wave® is an economical, high-performance exhaust filtration solution for businesses of all sizes and production levels. The convoluted “wave” design of GFS Wave filters increases surface area for great depth loading and holding capacity. By effectively capturing and retaining overspray, GFS Wave filters minimize paint run-off. This results in less cleanup of the paint booth floor and quicker, more efficient filter changes.

Exhaust Filters

High-Performance Polyester Media

High-performance polyester media is designed for capturing overspray of paint, glue, resin, tar, teflon, oil, grease and other airborne liquid particles. Made from 1-inch-thick, multi-layered, multi-density polyester, it features high-capacity capture with high-efficiency air pollution control. The media is UL listed, Class II approved and meets OSHA requirements.

Panel Filters

Used to filter intake and exhaust air for GFS ovens, panel filters are available in wood or metal frames. The filters are designed to capture overspray that was not retained by the exhaust filtration media, helping maintain a cleaner environment and avoid overspray in exhaust fan blades.

Gold Polyester Filters

Gold polyester exhaust filters are made from multi-layered, multi-density polyester. Featuring high efficiency and excellent paint holding capacity, gold polyester filters are a cost-effective replacement filter media for any paint booth.

Fiberglass Filters

Fiberglass exhaust filters are exclusively designed to collect paint overspray. Made from continuous filament glass fibers with an open-weave pattern, the filters allow particles to penetrate deep into the 2-inch-thick pad to hold more paint. The filters are UL listed and Class II approved.

Intake Filters

Intake Pads

Intake pads are a high-efficiency mesh intake filter that removes more than 90 percent of particles at 5 microns. They feature an internally welded steel frame for easy fit, with a self-sealing gasket. Internal wire support and heat-sealed seams prevent media flutter. The pads are UL listed and Class II approved.

Tacky Roll Media

Made from synthetic fibers and resin-bonded with a special adhesive, tacky roll media intake filters are a progressively structured, high-performance media. The pads feature an internally welded steel frame for easy fit, with a self-sealing gasket. The filters are self-extinguishing, with a 100 percent coating of fibers. Tacky roll media is UL listed and Class II approved.

High-Temperature Roll Media

High-temperature roll media is designed for use with SmartCure® control systems, which generate higher heat during cure cycles. Filter material can withstand operating temperatures up to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Its polyester fiber is bonded with a polyvinyl chloride binder, featuring a flame-retardant treatment.

AdvanceCure® Filters

AdvanceCure® Accelerated Airflow Systems require their own filters, since the air intake is sized differently than other systems. The air entering the AdvanceCure System is filtered, ensuring clean air is blown out onto freshly painted vehicles. The filters are made of high-loft, non-woven, expanded polyester, featuring a 99.84 percent average arrestance. They’re UL listed and Class II approved.

Three-Stage Filters for Aerospace Chromate Coatings

Stage 1: CPA - Paint Arrestor Roll Media

Air enters through a layer of multi-layered polyester roll media, constructed of a mixture of lofted denier fiber. Air leaves the media through a mixture of heavily needled media to densify, weighing 1.2 ounces per square foot.

Stage 2: MEPT Panel Filter

The filter panel features two different layers of tackified polyester media, sealed together so the tackified layers of each media touch in the center. Air enters through a multi-layered, multi-density polyester with a heavy, non-migrating tackifier on the air-leaving side. Air leaves through media that is constructed of a heavily needled polyester, densified up to ¼-inch thick and tackified on the air-entry side with a weight of 0.42 ounces per square foot.

Stage 3: Pocket Bag Filter

A bag filter helps capture overspray to increase efficiency. It features a composite of pre-filter, melt-blown and spun-bound polyester fibers. The pockets are sewn together on the perimeter with two heat seals, forming three air channels in each bag pocket. The bag pockets on the metal support are inserted into a galvanized metal header, which contains a sealing agent inside of each header to eliminate the possibility of paint bypass within the filter.

Non-Recovery Filters for Powder & Dust Collection

GFS Wave Roll Media

HEPA Filtration

Air Make-Up Unit (AMU) Filters

Air Make-Up Unit (AMU) filters clean the air entering an AMU and the fabric, helping provide AMUs with an economical source of replacement air.

Paper Filters

Paper Mesh Filters

Paper mesh filters are combination baffle/strainer-type overspray collectors, constructed of layers of slit and UL listed, Class II approved kraft media. The front layers employ larger baffle openings, followed by layers of progressively smaller diamond designs and an optional back layer of dense, non-woven polyester.

Pleated Cardboard

Pleated cardboard is an accordion-style, collapsible paper filter with round holes that traps overspray and reduces filter replacement cost.

Paper Mesh Polyester Backing

Paper mesh polyester backing paper filters are highly efficient with an excellent dust-holding capacity. Constructed of seven-layer expanded paper, they feature a white polyester backing to maximize strength and efficiency.

Powder & Dust Collection Filters

Filter Pads

Medium-efficiency, pleated panel filters for powder and dust collection are made of a non-woven cotton/synthetic blend media. They feature radial pleat construction, allowing for minimum pressure. Filter pads are UL and CUL listed, and Class I and Class II approved.

Powder & Dust Bag Filters

Powder and dust bag filters are pocketed with individual edges and internal dividing bars that are heat-sealed for no stitch holes. Pockets are assembled using individual modular design, and the exceptionally high dust-holding capacity provides a long filter life.

Cartridge Filters

High-efficiency cartridge filters are used to collect powder dust in powder recovery booths and in safe air dust collection systems. They are high-strength filter media, featuring a flame-retardant treatment.
