Portable Paint Extractor Fan

[Joseph]

Talkedwith the owner before ordering several years ago due to the same questions, First Circle because lacquer, naptha, xylene & naptha etc based & thinned hobby paints are my preference airbrushing. Please feel free to call Pace and discuss any safety questions. The owner was very candid and knowledgeable. A+++ business in my experience.

There has to be the proper fuel to air ratio for a problem and the flashpoint needs to be low. You will not achieve these parameters with an airbrush unless you were running straight gasoline or alcohol with a lighter. Even then the cubic flow of air might be great enough to prevent it even then.

I think low production levels always means higher prices, in fact looks like they are manufactured to order. I use lacquer paints almost exclusively and this deals with the fumes very well. Would always be nice to pay less but sometimes the investment is worth it. And the prices are even more inflated after the last few years.

I watched a fair number of YouTube vids on home made paint booths, and it convinced me of the need to go for a more powerful fan. A number of the videos go through the booth construction process and finish up with a demo of the extracting capability of the fan with some smoke, and looked fairly disappointing - like the smoke vaguely drifting towards the fan.

I stalked a few fans on FB marketplace until a reasonably local one appeared and I got that a week ago. 8" fan, flow is 25m/min. All the used examples I saw were 110v 16 amp (construction site rated) so I also had to get a transformer. Eventually I found a light duty (750kva continuous) one that was clean - most of the available examples are higher rated, so bigger and heavier, and covered in cement, paint and plaster.

Hi All - I've been spraying shells with Tamiya spray paints in our utility room - albeit with the door shut to the rest of the house and with the back door open... - and despite wearing a mask, I'm sure it can't be doing me much good and it's getting too cold to paint outside a the moment.

I've seen lots of You Tube videos of folk using mini-indoor paint booths, which seem to have an extractor attached to them? They look relatively small - maybe 50cm by 40cm or so and perhaps 50cm deep? Are they any good - and can anyone recommend one?

Presumably they have an in-built fan and some ducting that you shove out of a window? Or do you then also need an air compressor to attach to it for the vacuum? I've always intended to get an airbrush as I want to (eventually....) start restoring Hot Wheels and diecast too - but no plans in the very short term to get a mini compressor and airbrush - so for now, it's just needed to cope with Tamiya rattle cans.

I have spent many years building and painting "static plastic" kits. Mainly Armour and doing this indoors I bought a good quality bench top extractor. This is bigger than most BUT I would say its not really big enough for shells. It will help BUT the distance you will be from the booth with the shell will effect greatly. Some of the smaller buggy bodies will fit close up BUT full shells no so.

Bear in mind that some paint fumes and dried overspray dust can be explosive under certain conditions/concentrations. If you have an incorrectly sealed and/or rated fan motor within the extraction system, an electrical spark could spell disaster. IMO just buy the correct tool for the job and be safe.

Anyone have or built a desktop spray booth / solder fume extractor. My older self has finally come to realize that I really need to do something about the paint and solder fumes. What would be nice is a combo portable unit. Anyone built anything like this? If not then how about a soldering fume extractor by it's self. Would like to see some examples.

Looking at some of these examples that have some type of filter I wonder how good a job they can do. Looks like just a simple foam element. Is it real important to try and filter or just pull the fumes away from you. I have several muffin fans and probably could use them to pull the fumes away.

Niels, did you put a fan extractor and filter in your cardboard spray booth? If so and you don't mind post a pic. I am using a plastic storage box for spray booth but need to put extractor fan and filter in it.

If you are truly trying to get rid of the nasty chemicals Google how to make a activated carbon filter,they are used by indoor farmers lol but have legit uses too.I made one similar to this and get the carbon from petsmart although you can also buy the filter material pre made too.

For the fan I use a old inline bilge blower that I bought for my boat that was too small and run it off my power supply.I use a rubbermaid container as a fume hood and when it is running you truly can not smell a thing and you dont need to vent it outside since it truly filters it all.

In the garage where I solder, and grind/sand plastic, I bought a cheap pedestal floor fan. If I am grinding or sanding resin, I just turn the fan to the work area so it blows all the dust away from me! For soldering I turn the fan on slow speed. It is about 5 foot from my soldering station, It blows any fumes away from me.

Just so you know, they are not very quiet. But at least for airbrushing, they do a good job. The one you shared the link for has the exhaust pointing right back at the user in the picture, so you'll probably want to direct that elsewhere, outside if possible

The exhaust tube can be disconnected so I more than likely won't use it as there is no way to run it outside from my office. If it's too loud may be able to replace the fan or even put a switch handy to just turn the fan off but still leave the lights on.

Inspired by all these inputs, I went berserk and made a replacement for my trusty (but tired) cardboard paint booth:

It meassures w45xh35xd30cm and is built from 8mm birch plywood.

It has 12v led light strips in the top and the sides and a hole in the rear wall for the fume extractor.

Nice project Niels & efficient use of space.. Have you thought about having a "Lazy Susan" to rotate your work as you paint? Then there are various paint stands you can cobble together from odds & ends, of wire, wood. bottles, cardboard, etc.

A blue and red paint scheme for the Excavator power armor. It is the power armor featured on the Garrahan excavator posters which were printed to publicize the mining competition between Garrahan Mining Company's Excavator power armor and Hornwright Industrial's Auto-Miners.

Oh no! ? Yes, good thing they were inexpensive. I did paint right over the buttons on this one and made sure to lightly push them in a few times as soon as it was dry enough to touch, and there was no problem with sticking on mine. As far as the underside went, I covered all sensitive areas with painters tape.

Not only in paint shops, but everywhere where aerosols, particles or explosive mixtures are generated, a cleverly designed extraction system implemented with durable technology ensures better product quality, longer machine running times, less waste and significant savings in electricity and maintenance costs. The factors of environmental and climate protection, energy efficiency and the associated increasingly strict guidelines and standards, which every company must fulfil in order to be able to maintain its position on the market in the future, are also of significant and increasing importance.

In paint shops, clean air and the right climate are basic prerequisites for perfect painting results and safe workplaces. This applies to large painting lines and robot workstations in the automotive industry or machine production as well as to small and medium-sized painting operations, such as painting booths and painting stations in paint shops, car or furniture workshops. Custom-designed fans can be installed at various locations as exhaust, recirculation and supply air fans, for example in the room, in the wall or in a self-contained filter and extraction system.

ZIEHL-ABEGG builds and supplies high-performance, state-of-the-art fans with energy-saving drives and intelligent control technology for environmentally friendly and people-friendly extraction systems that are optimally matched to the respective application and area of use.
