The patented BowTie design creates more effective filtration area in the same footprint — capturing more overspray, maintaining airflow longer, and cutting change-outs dramatically.
Every aspect of the BowTie filter is designed around real production demands — not lab conditions.
Engineered airflow paths control how overspray loads into the filter instead of choking a flat face. More surface area, more holding capacity.
Up to 22× longer life than conventional pad filters in the right applications. Less downtime, less labor, less waste.
Stable airflow and predictable pressure drop throughout the filter's life. Better booth balancing and cleaner finishes.
Longer life means fewer filters in the dumpster. Reduced disposal volume and cost for your operation.
Less time changing filters and cleaning stacks means more time painting. The math is simple.
Better capture efficiency keeps overspray out of the air and off surfaces. Healthier for your team.
BowTie Filters were created after repeated visits to facilities struggling with frequent change-outs and poor air quality. Walk Industrial spent years testing and refining the design in real-world applications before patenting the result.
Today, BowTie serves everyone from Tier 1 automotive suppliers to independent paint shops.
A side-by-side look at what changes when you switch.
BowTie filters are built for environments where capture efficiency and holding capacity matter.
The core application. Heavy overspray loads, long shifts, and zero tolerance for finish contamination.
Varnish, adhesive, and specialty coating applications where holding capacity and capture efficiency are critical.
Specialized BowTie® configurations for demanding high-volume Dürr® booth applications, including patented built around BowTie® inserts for the EcoDry X trolley.
If your facility runs Dürr® EcoPaint EcoDry X trolley booths, the patented BowTie® filter is also available as the engine inside BLOX™ Filter Systems — a complete drop-in replacement for cardboard box filters.
BLOX™ uses a 100% recycled non-fibrous corrugate housing that stays in place across most coatings; only the BowTie® inserts get swapped at change-out. The result: same patented filtration performance, dramatically less waste, no fiber contamination, and faster trolley turnover.
