When selecting a Finishing Spray Booth there are a few things to keep in mind. Whether you're looking for a liquid finishing spray booth or powder coat spray booth there are many styles and technologies to choose from. Let's look at a few:
LIQUID SPRAY BOOTHS
- Standard CROSS DRAFT finishing spray booth. A cross draft booth like the on pictured above is named so for the way air enters the booth. In this case, air is drawn in front open face, through the filter plenum and out the exhaust stack. One drawback of a cross draft is that the operator has to always spray towards the filters. If he/she were to stand with his back to the filters and spray, he/she would end of painting themselves as that is the direction the air is moving.
- DOWNDRAFT spray booths are another example of spray finishing booths. In a Down Draft booth, air is either forced in or drawn through a filter plenum on top of the booth and exhausted through a pit in the floor. This is the most efficient spray booth on the market and allows the operator to spray facing in any direction he desires.
- A SIDE DOWNDRAFT similar to a downdraft because the air is coming from the top of the booth and moving down. The similarities end there as the air is then exhausted through a plenum running along the bottom side walls of the booth. This is more efficient than a cross draft but less than a true downdraft.
POWDER COAT SPRAY BOOTHS
- CARTRIDGE STYLE style powder coat spray booths draw air in through an open face or filtered door and move through large cartridge style filters that are set to pulse every few minutes. These pulses help discharge built up powder to ensure free air flow.
- 3 STAGE FILTER BOOTH: This is like a standard liquid finishing spray booth except that instead of a single filter it incorporates a three stage system. These booths also do not exhaust to atmosphere, the air is thoroughly cleaned through the 3-stage filtration and recycled back into the plant.
These are a few of the spray booths we offer. Keep in mind that spray finishing booths are customizable in about anyway you can think of and also available in all sizes large and small.
