Non-Recovery powder booth is the more basic of the two booth designs. The initial investment for non-recovery booths is significantly less expensive than a comparable model that is designed to reclaim or recover used powder. They are equipped with a standard filtration system that catches overspray into replaceable filter cartridges that are periodically discarded and replaced with fresh ones.
Recovery powder booths can be identical to their non-recovery counterparts aside from changes to the filtration and the addition of a reclamation system. Rather than trap powder overspray in disposable filters, these booths are outfitted with a specialized cartridge-style filtration system that collects the powder so it can be reused—making it more environmentally safe than its non-recovery counterpart.
