Abstract
A scrubber assembly for removing particulate paint from a flow of air through a paint application booth is disclosed. A sheet of water received from a water source flows over flood pan collecting paint particles suspended in the flow of air. A separation chamber receives air and particulate paint from the booth and water from the flood pan through first and second scrubbers. The first and second scrubbers extend downwardly from the flood pan. Each scrubber includes an inlet receiving air and particulate paint from the paint application booth and water from said flood pan. The first scrubber includes a first outlet discharging a first stream of air, particulate paint, and water received from the first inlet. The second scrubber includes a second outlet discharging a second stream of air, particulate paint and water received from the second inlet. The first and second streams intersect within the separation chamber.
