The SATA Filter 584 series filters compressed air to help meet the ANSI Grade D breathing air requirement for clean air, both for breathing and spraying paint. Right down to the smallest detail, this filter system has been designed to offer maximum air purification.
Compressed air is one of the main sources of energy in paint shops. After being generated in the compressor, the air is fed into the compressed air circuit, whereby impurities such as tiny particles of compressor oil can be carried along right into the spray gun or breathing air. While such impurities are not particularly relevant for many industrial applications, they will inevitably cause coating flaws in the paint application process. When working with waterborne paint systems, even the tiniest quantities of oil vapors can cause coating flaws, and consequently time-consuming, costly rework. Oil vapors or particles may also enter the respiratory system and cause health issues.
For a trouble-free operation, a filter unit should preferably be fitted eight nearby or directly inside the spray booth. Preferred install would be not inside the booth, and install a regulator only inside the booth. While the SATA filter 544 will be sufficient for solvent-based paints, the SATA filter 584 is required when applying waterborne paints, as the activated charcoal stage eliminates the critical oil vapors that can cause coating flaws with waterborne materials.
A three-stage SATA 584 filter unit is also needed when using a compressed air-fed respirator (without a "belt-hung" activated charcoal filter) to clean the breathing air of harmful substances. If the painter is wearing a “belt-hung” activated charcoal filter, then a two-stage SATA filter 544 unit on the wall is sufficient.
A well-functioning compressed air circuit also includes regularly maintained compressed air filter units. Every six months, all filter stages should be maintained together in a procedure that takes just a few minutes without the need for tools, thanks to the bayonet lock and defined position of the filter cartridges, which are replaced simply by inserting them.
Another great function of the SATA filter 500 series, it offers a flow-optimized cyclone separator which minimizes pressure drop in the filter system and ensures a constant air flow of approximately 135 cfm. This high volume of CFM also is beneficial in shops with more than one paint booth. It allows enough air volume to run more than one booth if properly plumbed to each booth after the SATA 500 series filter. This is less maintenance for the shops.
Other filters in the 500 series:
SATA 544 filter – 2 stage combination filter:
Ideal for a shop trying to deliver clean, dry air to a paint shop that is utilizing a solvent borne paint system, which does not require the painter to breath off the compressed air while painting.
Using it with supplied air respirator breathing equipment requires an additional belt-hung activated charcoal adsorber.

SATA 564 filter – Single-stage activated charcoal filter
Activated charcoal filter for easy retrofitting to existing SATA 544 filter
Now is your chance to bring your compressed air filtration up to date – for the benefit of your staff and your customers.
SATA 584L and 544L in-line filters for use when plumbed into the airline system, utilizing regulators and manifolds at each point of use.
