Designed to safely capture flammable paint vapors and other fumes that need special filtration
HEPA or XE Rigid Cell depending on wet or dry fume are optional as your fume might be dry, in which cae you would need the 24" x 24" x 12" HEPA, or you might need a filter that handles sticky fume. More information HERE on sticky fume filters.
The PDB-1000 and PDB-1500 Backraft Booths are a 30 inch wide, and 48” inch wide range of Backdraft booths, designed to capture and filter overspray paint while returning clean air into the work space. The PDB can eliminate 90% of odors and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The custom blend of filtration makes it extremely useful and adaptable for all kinds of applications.
An Endless combination of filter stages and different medias means that the unit can be easily customized for different applications just by swapping out or re-arranging filters. Normal cartridge filters plug up from paint spray in a matter of seconds. The PDB-VOC has a custom blend of fiberglass Rigid Cell, Poly Pad, and 4mm carbon or potassium permanganate cells. Each cell holds 28 lbs. and the PDB can hold 3 of them. This blend of filtration will do a much better job on sticky fumes and odors than particulate filters will.
A custom blend of activated carbon pellets and potassium permanganate pellets is used to eliminate odors. The PDB is designed to extract VOC fumes and odors directly from the source and prevent them from entering an operator’s breathing zone. Having the right amount of “dwell-time” of the VOC within the carbon is essential to the success of the unit. Our sales engineers will analyze your solvents SDS and we will recommend either carbon, pellets, potassium permanganate, coconut shell, or a custom blend. Then we select the correct blower size designed to achieve optimum dwell-time.

RIGID CELL AIR FILTER ABSORBS STICKY PAINT FUME before the fume enters the carbon. This part is crucial as you can ruin the carbon if it gets wet. The 24" x 24" x 12" Rigid Cell is made of a fiberglass media as ordinary cellulose media would disintegrate. A 24" x 24" x 2" Ring-Panel goes before and after each filtration stage for a variety of reason. First of all the Ring-Pannels are just a few bucks a piece and they can greatly reduce teh effects of nasty fume on other costlier filter stages.
Once the fume passes through the RIGID CELL it is scrubbed by either activated carbon or potassium permanganate, or a combination of the two.
A 24" x 24" x 12" HEPA FILTER FOR TOXIC DUST is available also if the powders are dry but you still need to filter out particulate before the VOC hits the carbon.
On casters for full mobility the PDB VOC Backdraft Hood Collector allows free range of motion around the shop that is especially useful for spraying, sanding and grinding materials that give off heavy odor.
HEPA filtration can be added at the factory or in the field. The Portable Fume Booth can also be used as a mist spray-off booth by changing the filters and adding a drain.
The Custom PDB-1500 is very versatile and is highly customizable and efficient. The poly-pad pre filters are only $17.00-ea and frequent changing of them can greatly prolong the life-span of the more expensive filter stages that come after it.
