VMC Filters: Essentials for French Homeowners

In France, mechanical ventilation in homes is usually referred to as VMC – Ventilation Mécanique Contrôlée. Whether it is a simple flux or a double flux system, the performance of the installation depends strongly on one element that is often forgotten: the VMC filters. Many online searches start with terms such as “filtre VMC” or […]

Paint Overspray: How to Calculate and Reduce Its True Cost

“Overspray” is the portion of sprayed paint that does not deposit on the surface to be coated. By its very nature, overspray does not bring any benefit to the coating process. On the contrary, it is a cost factor: it increases the amount of material that must be disposed of, adds load to the filters, […]

Booth ventilation: a controllable variable (Part 2)

Historically, attempts to control airflow in spray booths have followed two different paths: fans assisted by Pitot tubes and dampers actuated by differential pressure switches. Both approaches have significant limitations that have reduced their effectiveness and widespread use in this field. Let us summarise them briefly. Pitot tube sensor The orifice of the Pitot tube […]

Workplace Comfort, Air Quality and Organisational Health

Work and organisational psychology has long shown that individual performance does not depend only on personal skills or motivation. It is also strongly influenced by a set of contextual factors, including the overall climate and the way the working environment functions as a system. A specific branch of work psychology, environmental psychology, focuses on how […]

Booth ventilation: a controllable variable (Part 1)

Booth ventilation: a controllable variable (Part 1) A great deal has been written about the economic and operational benefits that can be achieved by applying process control principles to finishing operations. The advent of reliable PLCs and suitable instrumentation – such as pressure transducers and flow meters – has enabled finishing operators to monitor and […]

Airless Spray Nozzles: How Wear Increases Paint Use and Cycle Time

One of the most widely used application devices in industrial spray painting – especially in shipyards, heavy carpentry, metal furniture and similar sectors – is the airless spray system, in its various versions: airless, air-assisted airless, electrostatic airless and heated electrostatic airless. The principle is well known: the coating material is fed by a high-pressure […]

Paint booth filters: maintenance and solutions

The choice of the correct paint booth filters has beneficial effects on product quality, worker safety and operating costs. Outside air filters Outside air filters are the first barrier against possible impurities entering the paint booth and are used to filter the larger particles present in the airflow coming from outside. They are generally pre-filters […]

Efficiency and the environment in the painting department

In the past, industrial painting was often seen as a straightforward production step: it used raw materials and energy, discharged liquid and gaseous effluents and generated process waste, with limited attention to the overall impact of the coating line. Today, everyone involved in painting and coating processes has to take environmental impact into account, remembering […]
