Dry Filter Spraybooth Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Type, Designation and Identification
Airflow Dry Filter Spraybooths are designated by an abbreviated prefix followed by the width of the Booth expressed in
metres. The types of Booth available are as follows:
DF -
The DF range of Booth are Dry Filter Spraybooths with an open-fronted configuration available in a range of
widths from 2.2metres to 6.6metres e g. DF2.2 Dry Filter Spraybooth 2.2metres wide.
DFB -
The DFB range of Booths are 1.1metre deep Dry Filter Spraybooths complete with an operators Bench. In these
Booths the filter medium is mounted above the operator’s bench and angles forward at approximately 30
°
. They are
supplied without a Canopy and can be operated as such. However, additional Canopies can be supplied and fitted if
required e.g. DFB2.2 Dry Filter Benchbooth 2.2metres wide.
DEC -
The DEC range of Booth are Dry Filter Extract Chambers. These Booths are similar in construction to the DF
range but are intended to ventilate a spray space and are supplied without a Canopy but include a galvanised steel floor.
They are available in widths ranging from 2.2metres to 6.6metres e.g. DEC2.2 Dry Filter Extract Chamber 2.2metres
wide.
DHC -
The DHC range of Booth is similar to the DEC range in that they are supplied without a Canopy to form an
Extract Chamber. However, these Extract Chambers are suitable for low level extract applications as they are half the
height of the standard DEC range i.e. 1.1metre high. The DHC range are available in widths ranging from 2.2metres to
6.6metres e.g. DHC2.2 Dry Filter Half Height Extract Chamber 2.2metres wide.
Each Spraybooth has affixed an identification plate. From this plate the following information can be obtained:
The name and address of the manufacturer.
The year of construction.
The designation of model number.
The serial number.
The identity of the quality control inspector.
In addition to the above information, products manufactured for supply within the EEC will have a CE Mark affixed,
which indicates compliance with the directives listed on the declaration of conformity contained within this document.
To enable the identification of spare parts, please refer to the tabulated information contained within section 18 of these
instructions.

Uses Of the Machine
Normal use of an
Airflow
Spraybooth would be as an extractor of industrial airborne contaminants. The installation
would be in an indoors industrial environment with ambient temperatures in the range +5
°
C to +30
°
C, and relative
humidity of 65% or lower. Typical operations to be conducted within a Spraybooth include spray painting, fettling of
wood metals or plastics, mixing of powders or decanting liquids containing evaporating solvents. It is assumed by the
manufacturer that such activities would be conducted for a period of 8hours per day, 5days per week. It is also assumed
that operations such as spraying of paints or adhesives would have a transfer efficiency of at least 50% in order to
protect the Spraybooth from being forced to handle inordinately high volumes of waste material. If any doubt about the
suitability of the
Airflow
Spraybooth purchased for a particular operation exists, specific advise must be sought from the
manufacturer. Your attention is drawn to Section 6 (warranty) with regards to operating periods and conditions.

Identification of Working Areas
In the case of open-faced Spraybooths, please refer to the diagram below for guidance on approved operating areas.
Broadly speaking, all activities that produce an airborne contaminant must be conducted within the canopy area (see
diagram). In the case of fully enclosed Sprayrooms, all activities creating an airborne contaminant must be conducted
within the confines of the Sprayroom. Warning, production of airborne contaminants outside the Spraybooth canopy or
Sprayroom will be in contravention of the relevant HSE Directives. You may also run the risk of explosion, fire, and
injury to the operators’ respiratory system and pollution to the working environment of other employees.
