The washing means (2) are arranged to bring the material laden air into intimate contact with a cleaning liquid. Means (5, 16) are provided for controlling the volume of air flowing through each outlet path (12, 13) such that the volume flowing along each outlet path can be varied in dependence upon the volume of air exhausted from the spray booth. This enables the efficiency of the respective washing means to be maintained.</p> |
