Description
Lightly Loaded Air Entering Side
Close-up photo shows open weave pattern that allows overspray to penetrate deep into the pad.
Heavily Loaded Air Entering Side
Same magnification of heavily loaded pad ilustrates the large holding capacity of each fíber. The open space between fíbers continues to permit good airflow and allows paint to penetrate.
Heavily Loaded Cross-Section
Cross-section view shows how the AG-28 pad is completely utilized by collecting paint throughout the full depth.
Smooth Airflow Through Booth Prevents “Fogging”
A specially formulated thermoset resin provides high compression strength, preventing AG-28 pads from collapsing and face-loading as they become saturated. Air continues to flow smoothly through the pads, preventing “fogging” or misting of paint particles in the booth. Overspray is drawn into the pads so that it does not settle on spray guns, walls, floors, or conveyors. Proper airflow ensures healthier working conditions in conformance to OSHA standards.
Cleaner Exhaust Air—Fewer Maintenance, Environmental Problems
Continuous filarment glass fibers force paint laden airto change directions many times as it passes through the pad. Paint particles, unable to follow the continuously weaving air stream, collect on the fibers. Cleaner exhaust air flows on through.
Maintenance problems and the hazards of fire are reduced because fans, motors, and ducts do not accumulate layers of paint. Cleaner air is discharged to the atmosphere, protecting the local environment from unintentional “dusting” and costly property damage.
Fast, Easy Installation and Removal
An entire bank of AG-28 pads can be changed in a few minutes. They fit into standard holding frames, with no new grids or other accessories needed. AG-28 pads are directly interchangeable with other types of paint arrestors. Only one AG-28 pad is required per frame, including installations where two paper pads are currently used
