SATA Compressed Air Filtration and Its Importance in the Paint Booth SATA air filtration started in 1931 and continues today meeting the highest stan- dards in air quality and performance, offering two different filtration series in the U.S. market. The quality of filtration is the same between the two series; the only difference is the amount of CFM that flows through the unit. The SATA 200 series filters allow for 72 CFM at 90psi, while the SATA 400 series filters allow for 129.9 CFM at 90psi. Both are modular fil- ter systems allowing the user to adapt to varying shop conditions and requirements, and are easy to service and maintain. The first stage of the SATA filter removes water and oil by spinning the air through a cyclone tube and starts remov- ing particulate by filtering the air through a sintered bronze filter. The first filter stage captures contamination down to 5 microns in size. SATA's first filter unit has next to no maintenance cost. Every six months, the plastic cyclone tube can simply be washed with soap and water to remove any oil or debris. The sintered bronze car- tridge should be rinsed with solvent and blown off, from the inside out. For stub- born debris, you can use a soft nylon brush to scrub the cartridge. The second filter stage houses a fine media filter cartridge that filters the air down to 0.01 microns. Once the air passes through the second filter stage, it is con- sidered 99.9 percent clean air. The fine media filter is 10 times finer than most other filters. The second stage cartridge should be replaced every six months to ensure air quality. After leaving the sec- ond filter stage, the air has been removed of water and oil particulate, and dust and debris contamination has been filtered down to 0.01 microns. To safely breathe air from the com- pressed air line, one more critical step of filtration is needed to meet the require- ments of Grade D air quality level – hydrocarbons, oil vapor, odor and taste need to be removed from the air. These are removed in the third filter stage, which houses the activated carbon filter unit. As the air passes through the acti- vated carbon filter, any remaining con- taminants are essentially absorbed, clean- ing the air to achieve Grade D air quality level. The air that passes through all three stages of fil- tration is now considered 100 percent clean, breathable air. The third filter stage needs to be maintained, and the car- tridge replaced every three months. Two-stage filters are ideal for a shop trying to deliver clean, dry air to a shop that is utilizing a solvent borne paint system, while three-stage filters are ideal for a shop needing clean, dry air for the paint shop utilizing a waterborne paint system, as well as needing Grade D air for breathing. SATA makes a conscious decision not to use desiccant to dry the air, due to the potential health effects of silica dust.
