DeVilbiss Concept Cure Filter Program
Ceiling diffusion media in two generation sizes, link AMU prefilters, and roll-cut exhaust arrestor for the Concept Cure downdraft, matched from catalog cross-reference.
A bake cycle is the hardest thing a booth does to its filters. During cure, the Concept Cure recirculates heated air, and any overspray still held in a loaded exhaust arrestor sits in that hot airstream. Paint solids in a saturated pad are exactly what NFPA 33 worries about, and a bake booth that skips exhaust changes accumulates that risk on every cycle. Filter condition on a spray-and-bake booth is not just a finish-quality question; it is the difference between a controlled cure and a fire load bolted into your exhaust wall. The program below is built from distributor catalog cross-reference (AFT 2020 and Viledon 2003 records) against the two documented ceiling generations.
Quick answer
The DeVilbiss Concept Cure is a downdraft spray booth in the DeVilbiss Concept family, a line now carried under Carlisle Fluid Technologies. Filter catalogs document two ceiling generations: 1987 booths take a 61" x 149" diffusion panel, and 1988-and-later booths take a 28.5" x 118" panel. The full program runs ceiling diffusion polyester on the intake, 3-ply link prefilters on the make-up air unit, and 22 gram fiberglass arrestor roll media on the exhaust grid. This model is catalog-discovered, so confirm your ceiling generation and grid dimensions with a fitment check before bulk ordering.
How Concept Cure shops choose filters
Intake side. The ceiling runs Filtrair FF560GX polyester diffusion media, and the size depends entirely on the year the booth was built. 1987 booths take the 61" x 149" panel (SKU 02560611494). Booths from 1988 onward take the 28.5" x 118" panel (SKU 025602811810). Order the wrong generation and the panel will not seat in the plenum grid, so check the nameplate year before anything else.
Make-up air. The AMU stage runs 3-ply link prefilters in two documented widths: 25" x 72" (SKU 0162525726) and 20" x 72" (SKU 0162520726). These are the non-tacky link style, changed on their own cadence ahead of the ceiling media they protect.
Exhaust side. The exhaust grid takes 22 gram fiberglass paint arrestor cut from roll stock, cataloged in 30" x 300' (SKU 14AG30300) and 41" x 300' (SKU 14AG41300) rolls. Roll media keeps per-change cost down on a booth this age; cut a full grid set at once so changes stay fast.
Because this record comes from catalog cross-reference rather than field measurement, treat the sizes above as the documented starting point and run a fitment check with your nameplate year and grid count before committing to case quantities.
Regulatory landscape
Most collision shops running a Concept Cure fall under EPA NESHAP 6H (40 CFR 63 Subpart HHHHHH), which requires the booth to operate with filter media in place and maintained per specification, with records to prove it. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.94(c) governs the ventilation side: overspray must be captured and airflow maintained, which a blinded exhaust arrestor directly defeats. NFPA 33 treats accumulated overspray as a combustible deposit, and on a booth with a cure cycle that standard deserves extra respect, since loaded exhaust media sits in heated recirculating air every bake. Dated filter change records satisfy the paperwork side of all three.
Who runs the Concept Cure
The Concept Cure installed base skews toward established independent collision shops that bought DeVilbiss iron decades ago and kept it running because the structure and airflow still perform. A second group is second-owner shops that inherited the booth with the building and need the filter spec reconstructed, which is where the generation split matters most. A third is small-market body shops with no booth replacement on the horizon, where a reliable filter supply for a discontinued model is the whole maintenance plan.
Concept Cure filter FAQs
How do I know whether my Concept Cure takes the 61 x 149 or the 28.5 x 118 ceiling panel?
By year of manufacture. Catalog records show 1987 booths on the 61" x 149" panel and 1988-and-later booths on the 28.5" x 118" panel. Check the nameplate year, and if the plate is gone, measure one existing ceiling panel before ordering.
Does the bake cycle wear filters out faster?
Heat itself does not consume the media, but a cure cycle keeps hot air moving through filters already loaded from the spray phase, drying and embrittling captured overspray. Spray-and-bake booths should change exhaust media on schedule rather than stretching it, both for airflow and for fire load.
Can I cut the exhaust roll media to fit my grid myself?
Yes, that is what the 30" x 300' and 41" x 300' rolls are for. Pick the roll width that matches your grid opening dimension, cut a full set of pads at each change, and make sure each pad seats with no bypass gaps at the frame edges.
DeVilbiss no longer sells this booth. Can I still get correct filters?
Yes. The Concept Cure fitment survives in distributor and manufacturer filter catalogs, which is where this record comes from. The booth being discontinued affects parts like burners and controls, not filter media, which is a standard-size commodity matched to the plenum and grid dimensions.
What does catalog-discovered mean on this page?
It means the fitment was assembled by cross-referencing filter manufacturer and distributor catalogs, not by a technician measuring a Concept Cure in the field. The documented sizes are consistent across sources, but you should confirm your generation and grid count with a fitment check before a bulk or subscription order.
