Saima Endothermic Kit: Filters for the Heated Saima Booth
The heat retrofit changed how your Saima cures paint, not which filters it needs. We match media to the booth underneath the kit.
Saima Meccanica built its booth business in Italy, its equipment reached North American shops in real numbers, and the lineage continues in the US market today under the Accudraft name. That history matters if you run an Endothermic Kit conversion now, because factory support for original Saima hardware has faded while the booths keep working. A heat package is exactly the kind of retrofit that outlives its paperwork: the burner gets serviced, the control box gets swapped, and twenty years later nobody remembers which filter protected the generator intake. This page pins that back down.
Quick answer
The Saima Endothermic Kit is a heat-generator package from Saima Meccanica's catalog, applied to Saima spray booths to add or upgrade heated cure capability. Our database carries it against Saima's cross-flow line. The kit itself is combustion and air-handling hardware; the filters you replace still belong to the booth underneath it: intake media on the supply side, paint arrestor media on the exhaust side, and a pre-filter protecting the heat generator's air path. Saima's US-market documentation is thin, so we run these fitments through a verification step: send slot measurements or nameplate photos and we confirm sizes before you order in bulk.
How ENDOTHERMIC KIT shops choose filters
What the kit changes. A heat generator moves a lot of air through a burner or heat-exchange section, and that air has to be filtered before it reaches the heater. If your Endothermic Kit draws outside or shop air, there is a pre-filter stage in that path, and it cycles on its own schedule, usually faster than the booth's main intake media because it sees dirtier air.
The booth underneath. Spray filtration itself is unchanged by the heat package. On a cross-flow Saima layout that means intake media at the supply end (door or wall panels) and an exhaust grid of paint arrestor media at the far end catching overspray. Saima's catalog listing for this kit does not document slot counts or panel dimensions, and we will not guess at them. Measure one intake panel and one exhaust pad, or photograph the grids, and the WERCS service team cross-references the sizes against distributor and manufacturer catalogs before we build your kit.
Cycle logic. Heated booths tend to run more jobs per week than unheated ones; that was the point of buying the kit. More throughput means faster exhaust loading. If the booth has a draft gauge or manometer, change exhaust media on pressure rise rather than on the calendar, and inspect the generator pre-filter whenever you change the mains.
Regulatory landscape
EPA's NESHAP 6H rule applies to most shops spraying coatings that contain the target metal HAPs: it requires spraying in a filtered enclosure with filters maintained and documented, and a heated Saima booth qualifies only while its exhaust media is intact and correctly sized. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.94(c) covers the ventilation side, and a plugged filter bank is the most common way a compliant booth drifts out of spec. NFPA 33 is directly relevant here: overspray accumulation near a heat source is the scenario the standard exists to prevent, so arrestor changes on a heated booth are a fire-safety task, not just a finish-quality task.
Who runs the ENDOTHERMIC KIT
Two kinds of shops typically land on this page. The first is an independent collision shop that inherited a Saima booth with the building, heat package already installed, and no documentation beyond a faded control-panel label; they need sizes confirmed once, then steady supply. The second is a rural or mixed-use shop (ag equipment, trailers, light industrial coating) that added the kit years ago to extend the spray season, runs the booth hard in winter, and burns exhaust media faster than the old supplier's cadence assumed.
ENDOTHERMIC KIT filter FAQs
Does the Endothermic Kit change which filters my Saima booth takes?
No. The kit is heating and air-handling hardware; the booth's intake and exhaust filter slots stay as Saima built them. What the kit adds is a pre-filter stage protecting the heat generator's own air path, and that stage has its own replacement cadence.
My Saima paperwork is gone. How do you confirm filter sizes?
Measure the frame opening of one intake panel and one exhaust pad, or send photos of the grids with a tape measure in frame. The WERCS service team cross-references those measurements against distributor and manufacturer catalogs and confirms the fitment before you commit to a bulk order.
Is the filter data for this model verified?
Not yet. The Endothermic Kit record comes from Saima Meccanica's own catalog, but slot dimensions are not documented there, so this page carries our verification flag. We confirm sizes per booth through a fitment check rather than shipping on assumptions.
Should I change filters more often because the booth is heated?
Usually yes, but drive it by pressure, not the calendar. Heated booths run more cycles, which loads exhaust media faster, and the generator pre-filter sees dirty air continuously. Watch the draft gauge if one is fitted and change on pressure rise.
The burner is faulting. Is that a filter problem?
Sometimes it is the first thing to check. A starved air path from a loaded pre-filter can trip safeties on the heat section. If fresh filters do not clear the fault, the problem is in the burner, ignition, or gas train, and that is a service call, not a filter order.
