There are professionally managed manufacturers fabricating quality paint booths for all purposes and sizes. These booths are capable of painting metal, plastic and indeed any other surface with equal ease. The pre-engineered booths come in a variety of sizes meant for painting of smaller parts to those for painting automotive trucks, vans and cars. The accessories for paint booths include filters and exhaust fans.
There are multi-stage powder coating booths which involve the use of multiple filters designed to trap the excess spray of powder thereby ensuring recirculation of clean air into your plant. In order to ensure a clean process each time, such powder coating booths use anti static technology for the walls.
Using CNC machines, each panel and beam is pre-punched for the precision assembly of bolt and nut combination. This not only ensures an excellent finish but also that you can erect your booth quickly. These paint booths do not use obsolete I-beams but the J-beams, which are both lighter and stronger. The steel panels use steel of 18-gauge size and are galvanized in order to ensure freedom from corrosion. Use is made of stiffeners of steel to add to the robustness in the construction of the booth so that it can withstand not only the rough daily usage but also the weight of the air make-up system, which maybe roof-mounted in order to economize space.
The options for automotive paint booths available range from the standard down draft, the semi down draft, the cross flow spray booth and the down draft side exhaust spray booth besides the special insulated variety. Similarly, in the range of paint booths for trucks there are the full down draft, semi down draft, side down draft varieties besides the front and reverse flow booths.
All paint booths come with modern filters of excellent quality, an efficient energy management system, adequate lighting and a total control over particulate matter, humidity, pressure and temperature within the booth. The environmental specifications are rigidly observed in the discharge of exhaust and effluents.

Quality Paint Booth – Solutions for All Requirement and Sizes
Thursday, July 7th, 2011Fundamentals of Paint Spray Booth Lighting : Choose the Right Lighting
Wednesday, January 26th, 2011A paint booth comprises of several essential features that aid in its normal functioning. In order to keep out the contaminants and dust, the booth is kept closed with air tight doors while permitting the inward and outward movement of goods. The air-paint aerosol inside the booth, due to its pressurized construction, enables the air to be forcibly exhausted through filters. This aerosol inside the paint booth is flammable and combustible.
Understandably, considering the inflammable conditions inside a paint booth, designing an effective lighting system would need several parameters to be kept in mind.
General paint booth lighting should attend the following essentials: –
Illumination of the surrounding
Hazards and safety control
Ease of servicing and maintenance, and finally
Consumption of energy
The adequacy of lighting is of special interest in an automotive paint booth because of the size and intricacies in design of modern automobiles. The three important aspects to consider are the intensity of individual lights and their number and locations as well as the focus over the work area leaving no shadows.
The hazards inside a paint booth arise due to the inflammable nature of the aerosol. The use of electronic ballasts, mirrored reflectors and high output extended life phosphors (ELP) and safe light fixtures as per class and division is to be ensured. The fixtures for the fluorescent lights should be inside recessed panels inside the paint booth. These should be water and corrosion proof and meet Class I and Division 2 standards. If these are not inside the recessed panels, they should meet Class I and Division 1 standards. There should be an interlock provision to disengage and stop paint spray activity when the access panel for the light is opened for routine maintenance and servicing of either the lights or the ballasts.
There should be ready access to the lamp and the ballast for the purpose of their routine maintenance and servicing. Since the lens will get fogged with an ongoing paint activity, it might be a good idea to use easily replaceable cling film for covering them. Consumption of energy is quite easily addressed by the proper selection of the lamp and ballast.
The Investment Of An Automotive Paint Booth
Thursday, October 21st, 2010Modern day paint booth manufacturers have a significant number of types of such booths. The reason for this is to cover the entire spectrum of customer requirements. You could want a booth to paint an automobile or an aircraft or a very tiny intricate part in large numbers. All of these different samples would need different types of booths. Because of this reason the various types of paint booths are:
Automotive paint booth
Truck spray booth and
Industrial spray booths
Truck and Industrial Spray Booths
The truck spray booths are further categorized into the full; side and the semi-down draft varieties besides the reverse and front flow types. Similarly the industrial spray booths are sub-divided into the airplane booths and the production tunnels.
Automotive Spray booths
The automotive paint booth could be sub-divided into the premier variant, the insulated variant and the full, semi and side down draft variants besides the reverse and front flow types.
The Premier Spray Booth
This spray booth has white powder coated panels that are double walled and fully insulated. This results in considerable saving in energy, ease of maintenance and increased durability. The panels are punched with precision and made of heavy gauge galvanized steel for protection against corrosion and long life.
The paint booth has uniform airflow due to the full ceiling air intake filters. The surplus spray is forced out of the vehicle by the central flow exhaust system.
The direct-fired heat system scores by 20% in efficiency terms over the indirect fired heating system. Recirculation of preheated air from the baking cycle effects greater energy savings.
Electronic monitoring of filters, energy saving motor drives and an auto shut down system all help in the further saving in running costs.
The lights are strategically located and have access from the inside. This means that the exterior is flush and clean. The lighting is well focused in order to eliminate shadows. The lights have also been selected with the saving of energy costs in mind.
The provision of tri-fold doors and a 2-meter pit under the central exhaust system further enhance the utilization of the automotive paint booth.
