GFS WAVE Filter

GFS Wave is an economical, high-performance exhaust filtration solution for businesses of all sizes and production levels. The convoluted “wave” design of GFS Wave filters increases surface area for great depth loading and holding capacity.

By effectively capturing and retaining overspray, GFS Wave filters minimize paint run-off. This results in less cleanup of the paint booth floor and quicker, more efficient filter changes.

Three-Stage Filtration

For Aerospace Chromate Coatings

Global Finishing Solutions’ high-efficiency, three-stage filtration system delivers a higher holding capacity and more cost savings than other systems. It is highly effective at capturing high volumes of paint and dust, with up to 99.9 percent filter efficiency at 5 microns. The system is used for aerospace chromate coatings and meets NESHAP requirements.

Three Stage Filtration

Stage 1 – Multi-Layered Polyester Roll Media:

Air enters through a layer of multi-layered polyester roll media, constructed of a mixture of lofted denier fiber. Air leaves the media through a mixture of heavily needled media to densify, weighing 1.2 ounces per square foot.

Stage 2 – Pad Filters: 

The filter panel features two different layers of tackified polyester media, sealed together so the tackified layers of each media touch in the center. Air enters through a multi-layered, multi-density polyester with a heavy, non-migrating tackifier on the air-leaving side. Air leaves through media that is constructed of a heavily needled polyester, densified up to ¼-inch thick and tackified on the air-entry side with a weight of 0.42 ounces per square foot.

Stage 3 – Bag Filters: 

A six-pocket bag filter helps capture overspray to increase efficiency. It features a composite of pre-filter, melt-blown and spun-bound polyester fibers. The pockets are sewn together on the perimeter with two heat seals, forming three air channels in each bag pocket. The bag pockets on the metal support are inserted into a galvanized metal header, which contains a sealing agent inside of each header to eliminate the possibility of paint bypass within the filter.

Pleated cardboard is an accordion-style, collapsible paper filter with round holes that traps overspray and reduces filter replacement cost. Overspray-laden air is drawn into the filter by the booth’s fan and makes several radical directional changes as it’s forced through the trapping chambers of the filter. Kinetic energy generated by each change in air direction causes individual paint particles to be deposited on the surfaces within the filter.
