In this episode of Air Power Airwaves we introduce you to a BRAND NEW TECHNOLOGY from RTT Engineered Solutions, a trusted vendor partner of Air Power for many years.

Host Travis Stirewalt sits down with Trey Peavy, the Director of Sales & Marketing for RTT, and Kevin Averette from Air Power to debut the NEW Filter Monitoring System, The Filter Monitor PLUS and the Filter Monitor PRO...with optional Filter Inventory Management capabilities.

All 3 of these new systems offered by RTT are used to monitor the condition of the exhaust filters and notifies the status of the filtration to operators, paint line managers, or management teams. Notifications range from visual indicators on the panel face to emails and text messages depending on the version of monitoring required. The ability to understand the condition of the exhaust filter load dramatically affects the efficiencies of spray booth operational cost due to unnecessary filter change-outs.

Each system is a stand-alone unit that can be added to any existing or new spray booth and powered by a regular 120 volt outlet by using the provided power cable.

Retrofitting capabilities are not just limited to RTT Engineered Solutions equipment but also other manufactures of spray booths.

They discuss....

• Adding the Filter Monitoring System to your current set-up for enhanced visual alerting
• The benefits of upgrading to the Filter Monitoring PLUS to replace your manometer for increased safety
• The benefits of upgrading to the Filter Monitoring PRO, for enhanced safety, data collection, emailed or text alerts as well as the capability of upgrading to the Filter Inventory Management.
• How exactly the Filter Inventory Management add-on works in your facility to increase efficiency.
• Just how easy it is to add the required sensors and units to your facility to monitor all of your air filtered equipment.
