Automotive Paint Booth Applications

Why Do I Need an Automotive Paint Booth?

When you own an auto body shop, you know that mistakes cost money. Uneven or improperly cured finishes, drips, and spattered paint - all of these can add up to significant dollars and cents. When you utilize automotive paint booth applications, you can reduce the risk of exterior elements contaminating paint, speed drying time through temperature control, and simplify containment and cleanup operations. Also, if painting and priming jobs are not conducted in a secure, independently ventilated area, your employees may suffer respiratory ailments from exposure to airborne paint particles and propellants. The best way to ensure your paint jobs are sharp, and your employees kept safe, is to conduct your automotive, truck, or large equipment painting in an area specifically designed for it - an automotive paint booth.

Automotive spray booths add value to your auto body business in several ways. First, they can increase efficiency by reducing drying and curing times, easing production scheduling, de-cluttering line operations in busy shops, and providing a protected area for the automobile to be housed during the drying and curing processes. Accudraft's Detail Lighting System reduces errors due to poor illumination or glare. Dual Paint Based Technology saves time by allowing easy transition between water-based and low VOC paints and solvent-based paints. Accudraft's direct-fired downdraft heating system technology ensures an even, drip-free finish, while the Intellcure high speed baking system decreases drying times substantially. Automotive paint booths also assist in keeping your shop clean by containing paint within a single area, therefore reducing accidental paint splatter and protecting walls, floors, uniforms, and - most importantly - other cars. The exclusive downdraft system offered by Accudraft is so powerful that it works even without 100 percent enclosure. Some models, such as the Minidraft, may be left open on one side to allow easy access without sacrificing quality of overspray control.

While any of Saima North America's automotive spray booths can stand on their own as independent units, you may also want to consider investing in complementary equipment, such as mixing stations and prep stations, in order to maximize your automotive paint booth's applications. Mixing stations allow paints and paint components to be stored and mixed in optimal temperatures and conditions. Downdraft air flow and high-quality ventilation keep fumes at floor level, and force dust, dirt, fiber and hair away from paints. Prep stations are perfect for performing preliminary tasks like sanding. Also equipped with downdraft air flow systems, the best prep stations incorporate bays to simplify undercarriage work, as well as detail lighting to minimize harsh shadows and glare. Preparing the automobile at a prep station additionally minimizes the risk of contamination in the automotive spray booth itself.

Accudraft, the exclusive product line offered by Saima North America, is an industry leader in automotive spray booth innovation, production, and installation. These top-of-the-line automotive spray booths offer direct-fire downdraft heating systems to ensure perfect paint finishes and speed paint drying times. They also minimize the amount of overspray in the air. Independent ventilation prevents air contamination throughout the rest of your shop, which protects employees and helps to prevents buildup of paint particles and airborne toxins in ductwork and building filtration systems.
