A filtering apparatus having a housing with lateral, upstream and downstream walls, and a top plate disposed at a significant angle to incoming overspray air to accelerate and guide the particulate-laden air. The angle of the top plate directs the air upstream and away from the filters so the larger solids impact the top plate and wall and adhere, removing paint from the air. Larger solids too massive to turn while accelerating through an opening into an entry chamber collect on the upstream sidewall and the highly filtered air flows toward filter units disposed downstream of the entry opening. Lighter solids that flow downstream are removed by the filtration media. An overhang of the angled top plate reduces flow into the filter units of collected solids.

The disclosed technology includes an air filter box for filtering particulates from air. The air filter box can include a filter media pack having a filter layer and a plurality of filter media supports configured to support the filter layer. The air filter box can also include a filter housing having an inlet, an outlet, and a plurality of support tabs configured to align and support the filter media pack inside of the filter housing. The filter media pack can be configured to be folded and placed inside of the housing for cooperative engagement with the support tabs. The filter box can be configured to channel a mixture of air and particulates from the inlet, through the filter media pack, and out the outlet to create filtered air.

A main part for a coating cell of a coating plant has a modular design and is an exchangeable element within the entire system of the coating plant. The main part is further designed to be connectible to at least one sidewall in the form of a module, to provide a particularly user-specifically configured coating cell.

A robotic system is provided for repeatedly and reproducibly applying a sealant to a seam in an assembled HVAC duct component. The applied sealant has a predetermined location on the assembled HVAC duct component to seal the seam. An assembled HVAC duct component is thus provided having a robot applied sealant on at least one seam in the assembled HVAC duct component, wherein the applied sealant has at least one of a predetermined location, thickness or coverage. The robotically applied sealant can be applied to a blank for forming the assembled HVAC duct component, wherein the sealant is located at locations forming a seam in the assembled HVAC duct component.

A transportable vehicle enclosure for painting vehicles includes side, front, rear, ceiling and floor portions, one of the portions being configured to allow vehicular access. In use, a vehicle may be placed within the enclosure. The enclosure further includes an air handling unit for respectively producing a first temperature level within the enclosure suitable for a spray mode of operation and a second temperature level within the enclosure suitable for a baking mode of operation.

A portable variable volume paint spray enclosure or booth includes a frame assembled from longitudinal members and detachable clamps. The clamps secure together adjacent ends of the longitudinal members. The paint spray enclosure further includes a flexible cover disposed upon the frame such that a relatively air tight enclosure having a predetermined configuration is formed. The assembled frame and flexible cover extend from grade level to a predetermined elevation to encase an object to be painted. The paint spray enclosure also includes an air flow input apparatus for allowing air flow into the enclosure, and an air extraction apparatus/air scrubber for removing air from the enclosure, such that air mixed with vaporized paint inside the enclosure is removed from the enclosure before the paint vapor and air combine to form an explosive mixture, thereby preventing an explosion and/or fire from occurring inside the enclosure, and preventing operators from being exposed to harmful fumes. The air scrubber removes the paint vapor from the air as the combination exits the enclosure, thereby allowing only “clean” air back into the atmosphere.
