Blowtherm Space Filter Fitments

Blowtherm builds spray booths in Italy and has exported them long enough that its equipment shows up in North American shops across several generations of product naming, from BITA-era downdrafts to the current export lineup on blowtherm.it. The Space is the cross flow entry in that catalog, the layout Blowtherm offers where a shop wants a heated, enclosed, code-compliant cabin without the plenum and pit work a downdraft demands. The lineage matters for one practical reason: filter frames on imported booths do not always match the sizes US distributors treat as standard, which is exactly why this model carries a verification step instead of a guessed kit.

Quick answer

The Blowtherm Space is a cross flow spray booth in the current Blowtherm catalog: filtered air enters at one end of the cabin, travels horizontally past the vehicle, and exits through an arrestor-filtered exhaust wall at the other end. Its filter program has two positions, intake media at the entry face (commonly in the door frames on cross flow designs) and overspray arrestor media at the exhaust bank. Our record for the Space is marked needs-verification, so exact panel sizes are confirmed through a fitment check with the WERCS service team before a kit ships.

How Space shops choose filters

Intake side. On a cross flow cabin, the intake media typically lives in the entry doors or front face, and it is the only barrier between shop air and your wet paint. Tacky polyester intake media is the working standard; on an imported frame, depth and retention style are the details worth confirming so panels seat without bypass gaps.

Exhaust side. The exhaust wall catches everything the horizontal airflow carries off the gun, making it the fastest-loading position on the booth. Fiberglass or polyester arrestor pads are the normal fill. Because the entire overspray load lands on one wall, this bank sets the change cadence for the whole booth.

Confirm before bulk ordering. The Space fitment record is needs-verification: we do not yet publish confirmed panel counts or dimensions for this model, and imported frames punish assumptions. One round of measurements and photos, door grids and exhaust bank, locks your sizes into a verified account record. From then on, reorders are exact and the verification banner on this page stops applying to you.

Regulatory landscape

Cross flow booths sometimes get treated as the informal end of the booth market, but the rules read them the same as any other cabin. EPA 6H requires filter technology with at least 98 percent demonstrated capture efficiency when spraying target HAP coatings, which on the Space means a properly specified and maintained exhaust arrestor bank. OSHA 1910.94(c) requires maintained airflow through the spray zone, so a blinded exhaust wall is a violation in progress, not just a finish problem. NFPA 33 governs the loaded media itself as combustible material. Keep dated change records; on imported equipment, inspectors ask more questions, not fewer.

Who runs the Space

The Space fits shops that need a real booth without a downdraft budget or a downdraft floor. Independent collision shops in leased buildings are the first group, since a cross flow installs on slab with minimal site work. Second, commercial and light-industrial painters coating equipment and components where horizontal airflow is entirely adequate for the finish standard. Third, shops already running a Blowtherm downdraft who add a simpler second cabin for primer and small hits so the main booth stays free for color. All three need the exhaust wall on a schedule more than they need anything else on this page.

Space filter FAQs

Where are the intake filters on a Blowtherm Space?

On cross flow designs the intake media sits at the entry face of the cabin, typically in the door frames, so air is filtered as it enters and flows horizontally toward the exhaust wall. Confirm your panel layout during the fitment check, since entry configurations vary by installation.

Why does an imported booth need a fitment check more than a domestic one?

Because European-built frames frequently use dimensions and retention hardware that do not map onto assumed US standard sizes. Measuring once removes the guesswork: the WERCS service team verifies your sizes, the record is stored to your account, and every later order ships exact.

Which position on the Space should I never let slide?

The exhaust arrestor wall. It takes the entire overspray load in a cross flow cabin, and when it blinds over, airflow past the vehicle collapses, overspray hangs in the air, and both OSHA ventilation and EPA capture obligations are compromised at the same time.

Is cross flow airflow good enough for quality color work?

It is workable, with honest tradeoffs. Horizontal airflow carries overspray past the vehicle rather than down and away from it, so cross flow booths demand cleaner intake media and tighter change cadence to hit the finish a downdraft gives more forgivingly. Many shops run the Space for primer, commercial, and overflow work and reserve a downdraft for show-level color.

Can you supply filters if my Space is an older generation?

Yes. Filter positions on a cross flow cabin do not move when controls or heaters get refit, and the fitment check is generation-agnostic: we verify against your frames as they exist, not against a catalog year. Send measurements and photos and the kit is built to your booth.
