Treasure of the Sierra Madre<\/i> is a movie released in 1948 with Humphrey Bogart.\u00a0 This movie is not rated as one of the best or most viewed, but it gave us a one liner that is often repeated.\u00a0 In the movie Bogart and his group, along with several other groups of ne\u2019er-do-wells, are looking for a lost treasure of gold.\u00a0 One group tries to fool Bogart and his gang by acting as Mexican Federales (or mounted police).\u00a0 \u201cIf you are Federales\u201d, asks Bogart, \u201cwhere are your badges?\u201d\u00a0 The bandit leader replies, \u201cBadges?\u00a0 We ain\u2019t got no badges.\u00a0 We don\u2019t need no badges.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have to show you any stinking badges!\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/b> Great line, but what does it have to do with spray booths? I feel like that is what customers say about exhaust filters for their booth. \u201cFilters? We don\u2019t need no exhaust filters.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the main purposes of a spray booth is to capture overspray.\u00a0 You do not want it to exhaust on top of your building. \u00a0Your co-workers do not want it deposited onto their vehicles in the parking lot.\u00a0 \u00a0You neighbors do not want it on their property.\u00a0 The government does not look favorably on the overspray getting to the atmosphere, plants, soil or water.<\/p>\n

Why would you paint in a booth without filters? Maybe the filters have too much overspray and you\u2019re waiting for replacement filters.\u00a0 Maybe the painter was asked to spray something while the booth was being cleaned.\u00a0 Maybe the painter chose to continuing spraying in a booth when they knew that the filters were not properly fitted over the filter holes.\u00a0 These are short-term decisions that lead to long-term problems.<\/p>\n

Why should you never paint in a paint booth without filters? Look at these photos that show excessive overspray buildup on the fan, in exhaust ductwork and in an exhaust plenum after ten years of limited use.\u00a0 This was a just a touch-up booth, not a production-level booth, but the overspray was 1.5\u201d thick in some areas.\u00a0The dangers od using a booth without filters is that it will ruin your fan, motor, ductwork \u2026 but most importantly, old paint is just as flammable as new paint.\u00a0 Old paint inside a fan housing or ductwork will dramatically reduce the airflow and safety of the booth.\u00a0 Allowing overspray to accumulate sets a lower standard for general safety practices.\u00a0 Allowing so much overspray to accumulate means that the cleaning tasks is monumental and is less likely to be completed.<\/p>\n

The best answer is to routinely monitor the exhaust plenum, exhaust filters, fan and ductwork.\u00a0 Change filters as necessary.<\/p>\n

Keeping fresh filters is easy. We stock them by the case and will ship them to you free.<\/p>\n
