Filtration technology: suction strainers, air filters, equipment filters, gun filters

Filters

With the right filters, you keep painting and coating processes clean, stable and reproducible. Our range includes supply/exhaust filters for spray booths (e.g. ISO 16890 ePM), fiberglass paint stop, bag filters, activated carbon, HEPA/H13 as well as compressed air filters such as water/oil separators, in-line/gun filters and strainers. We provide advice on differential pressure, service life, change intervals and documentation – for consistently high surface quality.

Applications & benefits

Whether in automotive, industry, plastics, wood or bodyshop & paint – properly matched filters reduce inclusions, overspray and odours, protect equipment and support approvals. With defined filter classes, prefilter stages and differential pressure limits, quality and energy use remain in balance.

Tasks & set configuration

We configure supply, ceiling and floor filters, exhaust/paint stop, activated carbon and HEPA final stages according to booth type, air volume and target quality. For compressed air, we combine water/oil separators, in-line/gun filters and strainers. Service life, change labelling and limit values (e.g. differential pressure) are defined; filter changes and disposal are documented via PDF/CSV export and QR labels.

Product areas & integration

The range includes booth filters (supply/exhaust), paint stop, bag filters, activated carbon, HEPA/H13 as well as compressed air filters including water/oil separators, in-line/gun filters and strainers. All solutions are designed for separation efficiency, pressure loss and process reliability – with clean integration into quality workflows.

For complete workstations, we define filter sets with matched classes, prefilters, differential pressure monitoring and change guidelines. We consolidate bills of materials, define minimum stock levels and integrate supply into audit processes – for stable quality and reliable documentation along the value chain.

Frequently asked questions about filters

Which types of filters are used in painting and coating processes?

Typical filters include supply and exhaust filters (e.g. fiberglass paint stop, bag filters, ISO 16890 ePM classes), activated carbon filters for odour/solvent reduction, HEPA final stages (e.g. H13) as well as compressed air filters such as water/oil separators, in-line/gun filters and strainers.

How do I select the right filter and change intervals?

Pay attention to the process, air volume and required separation efficiency. Select suitable filter classes (e.g. ISO 16890 ePM1/ePM10), and consider temperature, solvent load and prefilter stages. Define change points based on differential pressure and specified service life and label each filter change.

How do I document filter use and changes in an audit-proof way?

Record filter type, batch/lot number, installation position, differential pressure/date, operating hours and disposal records. Use PDF/CSV exports; labels/QR codes support clear assignment and complete traceability.
