Extractor Fans for Airbrush--do they work? - tanTALK

saloneuforia · 07-27-2010, 07:56 PM

Wondering if these fans really work. Have a small room with no windows. I understand these fans or even the expensive ventilation booths will suck in the over spray but what about getting fresh air in? I do multiple sprays a day (often back to back every 15 min) so trying to manage the overspray. Dont know which way to turn--have been unable to find someone who does the volume I do to compare notes. I use the Artesian HVLP system so have the spray as much under control as I can but worry about what I am breathing in every day and want to keep it as clean and professional as possible. Thanks for all thought!!!

Yes they absolutely do work!! We do 45-50 spray tans/week. No over-spray anywhere. Norvell has one and I'm sure others do as well.

Thanks jrmiller!! So it sounds like even with the strong (?) pull of the fan it still allows enough spray to get on person as I think that is amazing since you have no over-spray anywhere. I will look at site tonight. Is there more than one type and if so which one do you have?

I use Norvell's. You can always use a 20inch box fan and buy a 20x20 filter like the one in your furnace and tape to fan. (change filter every 10-15 tans).

YES!...they work...I was using a "home made" filter system of 2 box fans and overspray was everywhere Norvell is my current use of filter system..it is terrific!...no overspray anywhere...

Thanks. I went to Norvell's site last nite and am calling them today. Is there more than one model to choose from as I typed in "extractor fan" and nothing came up in the search.
