PaintStar MB - paint mist extraction with Paintblock filters
Vive la révolution! PaintStar paint mist extraction system simplifies filter replacement.
The filters for paint spray mist extraction must be able to “breathe” freely to ensure optimum surface quality. Regular filter changes are therefore an important task in any spray booth or spray wall. Every filter change costs money in consumables and downtime in the paint shop.
Less frequent, faster, and more ergonomic filter changes
A new filter system is now on the market that significantly extends filter service life while promising consistently good performance of the overspray extraction: The PaintStar system with Paintblock filter cubes.
Enormous filter surface extends service life extremely
Each of these small easy-to-use, compact filter cubes contains a sophisticated primary and secondary filter. One Paintblock provides up to 10 m2 filter area per 1 m2 front face area of the filter wall. The elaborate design inside the cube is cleverly devised and increases the capacity to catch the paint spray by up to tenfold. The result is a powerful, low-maintenance and cost-effective filter system.
Quick and easy to assemble rack system
Höcker Polytechnik has designed an easy-to-install shelf system specifically for these filter elements. The PaintStar shelf system for filter cubes allow you to slide the filter cubes into the wall in newly installed paint walls and spray walls or to operate them as non-recessed against the wall. All these options facilitate the recommended replacement of the filter cube inside the spray wall. This allows the filter life to be fully exhausted.
-
Before the retrofit: Two conventional spray walls with folding carton filters and downstream fleece filters. The suction power is very weak and frequent filter changes interrupt the paint shop activities. -
After the retrofit: The old filter system was dismantled and the PaintStar shelf system for Paintblock filter elements was installed in just two hours. The existing extraction system is retained and is now working much more efficiently.
The PaintStar filter block system breathes new life into "old" spray walls
The PaintStar shelf system is particularly interesting for breathing new life into outdated filter technology, such as spray walls with corrugated-cardboard / filter-mat systems. The maintenance-intensive and cost-intensive water-sprinkled spray walls can also be easily converted. Höcker’s retrofit modernization works not only with PaintStar spray walls but can also be installed across manufacturers. The filter shelf is simply mounted in front of the existing spray wall, and the user immediately benefits from all the advantages of the Paintblock principle.
This allows the painter to once again focus more on perfect coating. And when the Paintblocks do need to be replaced, it’s child’s play with the Höcker PaintStar rack system.
However, underfloor extraction systems (paint mist extractions) can also be retrofitted with the new filter cubes under certain circumstances. Here too, the positive result is less frequent, faster, and more ergonomic filter changes.
