Hey guys, I am going to be building a booth shortly. I was just looking for some ideas and had a couple questions. What kind of CFM are the exhaust fans pushing that are being used? What kind of filters does everyone use?

Originally posted by TonyklemOriginally posted by THEKINGit depends on the size of the booth.... Anyways, lets just say H 4' x W 4' x D 2'.
I built a control box for air flow. Some powders are lighter in wieght than others keep in mind.
If it was me I would buy somthing that YOU can control CFM with.
Hope that helps.Comment

Re: Powder Booths
Isn't that typical of women, first thing they do is throw up the size thing.
I am switching my current exhaust fan this weekend to a 3spd. 1325, 1825, 2280 cfm, 10" one.
My fan exhaust through the wall to the outside. Probably not what I should be using for a filter but I use a decent furnace filter. Having a small shop I don't actually have a spray booth I have a spray area.

Re: Powder Booths
Ok, well I was planning on using a radiator fan I have laying around from one of my projects. I believe it's around 1500 CFM, its 12"...... Ya that's right, I said 12"
I was planning on rigging up a power source to use directly with a wall socket. And Maybe I'll stick a rheostat on there.Comment
