Prep Pro 4000-D Prep Station

The Prep Pro 4000-D came as a response to our very popular Prep Pro 2000-D model ductless prep stations. This 52" wide ducted prep station is the medium sized prep station in this line of products. The finishing industry has needed an industrial strength prep station this size, and so we made it! Like it's sibling models, this prep station is very simple to operate and maintain, and is perfect for applications where a ducted solution is required.

The Prep Pro 4000-D is the best product of it's type available anywhere. We use the exact same materials and design techniques that we use on our large, full size paint booths when making our prep pro models. The housing is made from 18 gauge steel, CNC precision cut, with holes cut 6" on center, with full, 2" companion flanges.

When you are looking for a prep station, there are a few key items you should consider:


Size
The size of your prep station should be such that it gives you a comfortable area around the item that you are working with, not just for the ability to move around as you work, but also so that the air flows around the work item properly. We have designed this prep station to provide you with the best work environment possible!


CFM
CFM is an abbreviation of 'Cubic Feet per Minute', and is a measure of the volume and rate at which air moves through a given space over time. The larger a space is, the more air (or CFM) must move through that space. The industry standard states that the minimum rate should be 100 CFM.


Filtration
The exhaust filters are meant to catch overspray and remove it from the air stream before the exhaust air leaves the unit. The filters are easy to change. Simply pop them out of their frame, dispose of them (according to applicable regulations), and put the replacement filter in the frame. EASY!


This unit has 2 stage filtration:


1st Stage:
The first stage is a pre-filter, which is a simple fiber sheet, meant to catch the largest aerosolized particulates. The primary benefit of this is to allow this inexpensive filter media to 'load up', rather than having to purchase the rest of the filters more often. Monitor this filter frequently, and change it as soon as it's necessary. Doing this will save you a fair amount of money!

2nd Stage:
This filter is the primary filter, and it is a multi-layer fiber filter designed to remove most of the overspray particulates during spray operations. Heavy loading of this filter will adversely affect the effective operation of this booth, so monitor this filter closely also.

When you are looking for a small parts booth, there are a few key items to consider, such as the size of the booth, the type of filters, and the CFM.


Booth Size
The booth size should be a size that gives you a comfortable area around the item that you are painting, not just for movement, but so that the air flows around the item easily. We designed the perfect small parts booth, and the specifications are listed below.


CFM
CFM is an abbreviation of “Cubic Feet per Minute”, and is a measure of the rate at which air moves through a given space. The larger a space is, the more air (or CFM) must move through that space. The industry standard states that the rate should be 100 feet per minute.


Filtration
Exhaust filters are meant to catch overspray and remove it from the air stream before the exhaust air leaves the booth. Our spray booth also has a second chemically enhanced “carbon” filter to remove fumes and solvents from the air, so that you are not breathing these fumes as you work. Fumes from diesel, adhesives, paint, formaldehyde, even that “Rotten Egg” smell from hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans are removed. This filter also has superior performance on removing VOCs from gasoline, solvents, and nicotine. Both filter types are standard filter types that are readily available from most industrial suppliers. To change them, you simply pop them out of their frame, dispose of them accordingly, and put the replacement filter in place.


This unit is designed with 4 stage filtration:


1st Stage:
The first stage is a pre-filter, which is a simple fiber sheet, meant to "catch" the largest overspray particulates. The primary benefit of this is to allow this inexpensive filter media to "load up", rather than having to purchase the main filter more often. Monitor this filter frequently, and change it as soon as it's necessary. Doing this will save you a fair amount of money!

2nd Stage:
This filter is the primary filter, and it is a multi-layer fiber filter designed to remove most of the overspray particulates during spray operations. Heavy loading of this filter will adversely affect the effective operation of this booth, so monitor this filter closely.

3rd Stage:
This is called the pleated filter, and it is intended as a “Last Chance” to catch any particulates before the carbon filter. Again, it is a much less expensive filter than the carbon filter, and should be replaced often to extend the service life of the carbon filter and maximize it’s efficiency.

4th Stage:
This is the V-Bank Carbon filter. The Carbon filter is meant to remove the VOCs and solvents that are major components of modern paints, coatings, and varnishes. This filter contains roughly 12 lbs. of activated carbon.

Air Flow
Ambient, or surrounding air, is drawn in directly through the front end of the booth. If there is dust or airborne particulates in the (intake) surrounding air, these will be drawn into the unit, and may contaminate the work area, so be aware of the air quality in your facility.

Prep Pro Airflow - Ducted

Exhaust
Once the air has traveled through the prep station, the air has been filtered through 2 stages of filters and is directed out the top of the booth, and out of your facility.
