A paint filtration machine removes lumps, grit and skin from finished paint before filling. Without it, such particles end up in the can and are found on the wall. Here you will find bag filters and vibro sifters, how to choose the mesh and how to filter paint before filling.
A paint filter machine, vibro sifter for paint or paint strainer bag filter all do the same job with different equipment.
We help you choose the machine that fits your product, batch size and plant, with specification, commissioning guidance and operator training. IPCS (Indian Paints Consulting Service) supports paint filtration machine buyers with application advice, installation support and technical assistance after delivery.
Paint Filtration Machine overview
A bag filter passes paint through a fabric or mesh bag that traps lumps. A vibro sifter vibrates a screen so paint passes through while lumps stay on top. A sifter suits thinner paint at higher flow, and a bag filter is simple and cheap for low flow. Both are fitted between the process tank and the filler.
How to filter paint before filling: transfer the batch by pump through the filter, check the screen for lumps after each batch and clean it before the paint dries.
Paint production applications for Paint Filtration Machine
Filter at the last step before filling.
Vibro sifter vs bag filter for paint: use a sifter for higher flow and easy cleaning, and a bag filter for lower flow where cost matters.
Technical specifications to review for Paint Filtration Machine
Mesh size is the main decision.
| Parameter | What to specify | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh or micron rating | Opening size | Finer mesh gives cleaner paint but blocks sooner. Choose from your quality limit for residue |
| Flow rate | Litres per hour | Sets the filter size |
| Type | Bag, basket or vibro sifter | Match to viscosity and flow |
| Housing material | Stainless steel | Resists paint and cleaning |
| Spare bags and screens | Number to stock | Changing is routine |
For dry distemper the residue on a 63-micron sieve is limited to 5.0 percent, and for washable distemper to 1.0 percent. Choose the mesh so the finished paint meets your own limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to filter paint before filling?
Pump the finished batch through a bag filter or vibro sifter placed before the filler, and clean the screen after every batch.
What paint filtration machine mesh size should I use?
Choose the mesh from your quality limit and viscosity. Finer mesh cleans better but blocks sooner.
Vibro sifter vs bag filter for paint: which is better?
A vibro sifter handles more flow and is easy to clean. A bag filter is simpler and cheaper for low flow.
What is a paint strainer bag filter?
It is a fabric or mesh bag in a housing through which paint is pumped, trapping lumps and grit.
Do I need a filter for every product?
Most paints need one, because lumps and skin can form in any batch.
