Industrial Paint Booths - Cost Effective Solutions for Your Requirements

Industrial Paint Booths

Each industrial paint booth application is usually a unique application. We will work with you to provide a booth that is integrated in to your overall workflow. Industrial applications often move work through their facilty with some type of material handling systems. Whether you use 3 axis cranes, overhead conveyor systems, floor rail systems, or any other type of system we will work with you to provide a paint booth that will fit your process. As part of our service to you we will co-ordinate our information with your architects, engineers, and general contractors.

Paint Booth Airflow Options

The optimum airflow pattern through a paint booth depends in large part on what you are painting. We will consider the parts your are painting, the facility layout, desired throughput, and several others factors to recommend the best airflow for your application.

Crossdraft Industrial Paint Booths: Air enters the booth through the filtered front doors. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust chamber at the rear of the booth by an exhaust fan.

Pressurized Crossdraft Industrial Paint Booths: The air makeup unit pushes air into the booth through the filtered intake columns in the front corners of the booth. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust columns in the rear corners of the booth by an exhaust fan.

Semi Downdraft Industrial Paint Booths: The air makeup unit pushes air into the booth through the filtered intake plenum on top of the booth above the front doors. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust chamber at the rear of the booth by an exhaust fan.

Side Downdraft Industrial Paint Booths: The air makeup unit pushes air into the booth through the filtered intake plenum on top of the booth. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust chambers at floor level in the side walls of the booth by exhaust fans.

Pit Downdraft Industrial Paint Booths: The air makeup unit pushes air into the booth through the filtered intake plenum on top of the booth. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust pit in the floor of the booth by exhaust fans.

Applications

Our industrial paint booth enclosures can be used for many applications other than painting. Our booths provide an environment that is isolated from the rest of your facility. We can provide whatever type of airflow and ventilation that is required to meet your needs and to meet the codes for your application. They can be used as:

- Adhesive Application Rooms
- Fiberglass Application Areas
- Preparation Areas
- Sanding Booths
- Gel Coat Booths
- Paint Booths
- Grinding and Welding Booths
- Any application that requires a clean area with airflow

Construction Features

Panels – Pre-Punched on 6” Centers for Sure Panel Alignment:
• Panels are fabricated from 18-gauge prime quality G-90 galvanized steel. Panels are fastened together with nuts and bolts for maximum rigidity and ease of assembly. Holes are precision CNC punched on 6” centers. Pre-punched holes assure true panel alignment.

Structural Support:
• Beams and columns are fabricated from formed 10 Gauge Galvanized Steel. Support is pre-punched to match corresponding panels. Support is placed on maximum 10' centers for added rigidity.

LED Illumination:
• Lighting is provided by LED type fixtures. All fixtures are ETL listed and approved for use in our industrial paint booths. Fixtures accept either 120V or 277V power

Exhaust Fans::
• Tube axial type duct fans specifically designed and constructed for use in paint spray booths and similar applications are provided for exhaust. Bearings are permanently lubricated and mounted in rubber isolators for smooth operation. The motor, drive and bearings are isolated from the exhaust air stream.

Filtration:
• Intake air filters: Rated by UL as Class 2 and are EPA registered as environmentally safe. Filters are self-supporting in an internal frame sized 20'' x 20'' x 1''.
• Exhaust air filters are fiberglass paint arrestor pads made specifically for the collection of paint over spray. These filters are UL rated as Class 2. A filter holding grid is provided for each filter cell.

Code Compliance:
• All of our industrial paint booths are designed to meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Standard Number 33, as well as the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) CFR 29.1910.107 covering the operation and construction of spray booths.

Enclosed

Enclosed booths completely isolate the work area from the rest of your facility. Basic crossdraft booths have filtered front doors. The air comes in through the filtered doors moves through the work area and is drawn though a filtered exhaust plenum at the rear of the booth and to the outside of the building through exhaust duct. Some applications may allow for using booths with HEPA air systems to move air back into the shop after being filtered. Exhausting inside or outside is determined by the chemical properties of what is being used in the booth along with the amount used per application period.

Booths exhausting to the outside of the building may require air makeup units to replace the air exhausted by the booth. We can also provide an air makeup system to replace the air exhausted by your booth if your application requires exhausting to the outside of your building. We can also connect an air makeup sysytem directly to an intake plenum on a booth to provide a system that is a "closed loop". Air comes directly from outside the building through the air makeup unit which is connected by ducting directly to the intake plenum on the booth. This allows for having a cure or bake cycle for your booth and also allows for control of the pressure in the booth.

Open Face

Open face booths offer the convenience of easy access. They are ideal for applications in which fume control, odor control, or overspray control are desired and/or required. We can make open face booths with crane slots for use with overhead crane systems or with conveyor openings for use with different types of material handling and material conveyance equipment.

We offer booths with HEPA air systems to move air back into the shop after being filtered as well as booths that exhaust to the outside of the building. Booths exhausting to the outside of the building may require air makeup units to replace the air exhausted by the booth. We can also provide an air makeup system to replace the air exhausted by your booth if your application requires exhausting to the outside of your building.

We offer standard open face booths in a variety of sizes, 7' Tall, 8' Tall, 10' Tall, and 12' Tall. Standard widths run from 4' to 20'. Standard depths run from 5' to 15'. We can also fabricate a booth to your exact custom dimensions for your specific application.

Air Makeup

Our replacement air systems are designed to replace air exhausted from parts of the paint finishing process. They replace air exhausted from paint booths, grinding booths, chemical application booths, blast booths, and any other process that may be exhausting air out of your building.

We offer systems that interlock directly with exhaust fans and systems that sense changes in the building pressure as exhaust fans from different items come on and off. It will maintain a constant even pressure in your building. The burner only engages when the temperature is below your preset. During warmer months it provides fresh air directly through the blower.

Our heat and cure systems are designed to help you move your work through the process as quickly as possible. We offer a basic heat and cure system and another system with heat, flash, and cure modes. The flash mode allows you to dry the paint between coats. Works great for both solvent and water based paints.

Variable Air Volume Control System

Our paint booth air makeup variable air volume control systems give you precise control over the air flow when you are painting, flashing, and curing. This allows you to adjust for different types of paint ( solvent based, water based ), different sized pieces of work ( Go-Cart - SUV ), and different outside air conditions ( -10° F and 5% humidity,+95° F and 85% humidity ). The higher the humidity the greater the air flow required to efficiently flash or cure your paints.

Different tasks and different conditions require different airflow from the air makeup unit for optimum efficiency and quality. We offer the ability to flash and cure in the paint booth at 100% airflow and high temperatures. We can provide 100% airflow and a 120° F temperature rise over the outside air temperature. If it is 20° F outside our system can provide 100% airflow at 140° F. Most systems in the industry can only provide these temperature rises at 50% air flow.

This system allows you to control how much air is used by the air makeup unit allowing you to control operational costs as well. System includes Variable Frequency Drives for both intake and paint booth exhaust volume control. Includes Programmable Digital Control Panel.
