Filtrex Global Ventilation Booths are suitable for people working with substances giving off large quantities of solvents, or those with jobs that create heavy local pollution.

The localised units can be small enough to sit on the worktop or large enough for the worker to stand inside. They can be either the traditional dry type that filters out airborne particulates, or water wash booths using either a pump or self-induced spray.

If your employees perform tasks like sanding, paint spraying, heavy foundry fettling or GRP trimming, a Filtrex Global ventilation booth will help you comply with a range of standards.

Filtrex Global's venture into providing ventilation booths is already showing successes. In one case, a factory threatened with closure because of high solvent emissions was fitted with a 2-stage carbon filtration booth which reduced emissions by over 90%.

In another, a poorly positioned bench booth that was drawing valuable product into it was replaced by a backdraft booth which improved working conditions.

Ventilation booths come in several general types, such as bench booths, machinery enclosure booths and walk-in booths. No two requirements are identical, however, so Filtrex Global approaches each commission as a unique project.

After establishing your needs, the company's experienced, professional CAD team will design in your particular requirements. This will include the nature of the work, the type of particulates needing to be removed from the air, and issues concerning the booth’s placement.

Numerous variations can be built into any broad type of booth. These may cover the type of filtration you need (e.g. dry or spray), whether you prefer the filtered air to be recycled or exhausted outside, and whether or not you want a heat exchanger built in to maximise heat recovery.
