What is a Duster 3000?

It's a mobile air filtration unit that filters paint particles and paint fumes just like a spray booth.  It converts a small room into a mini paint booth.  Have a look at the manufacturer's website here:

Here is a video prepared by the manufacturer showing how the unit works:

Here is the manufacturer's brochure for the Duster 3000:

Why are you selling?

We now rent a 3400 square foot body shop with full spray booth, but this unit worked great for a few years until we grew large enough to need the full booth.


What is the maintenance routine?

Maintenance is described on page 3 of Island Clean Aire's online brochure:
http://www.islandcleanair.com/pdf/duster%20downdraft%20br%20revise%20073.pdf

We followed this maintenance routine exactly while we had this Duster.


What is the history of this unit?

I bought it used in 2008 from a body shop in Idaho.  Had it shipped to Oregon.  Immediately replaced all filters.  Used it for small repairs:  95% of our work is respraying bumpers.  We followed the manufacturer's maintenance instructions from day 1:  clean the filters per their directions, and replace filters on their schedule.

Here's a photo of our set up:

This was an open space we used to detail cars, sand cars, park cars, etc.  But when we used it as a spray booth we pulled the blue/white curtain closed and turned on the Duster 3000, thus converting the space into a spray booth.  Worked great.


Where do I buy replacement filters?

California Media Services:

I'll supply their re-order form with the unit.


Will this pass county inspection?

Yes.  We were inspected in 2008 by Washington County Fire Dept.  We showed this setup to the inspector, and passed.
 

How much are these new?

$6500 plus shipping.


How much is shipping and how do I ship it?

Shipping is $250 - $700 depending on your distance from Portland, OR.

I recommend using a company called Craters and Freighters.  They shipped it from Idaho to Oregon for $350.  It was packed in a wood crate with internal packing materials, was insured, and arrived on time.
