Paint Booth Systems

When deciding on a paint booth system, it is crucial to know what kind of air flow features are needed. For an open front paint booth, there are only walls on three sides, while an exhaust filter pulls air from the opened front space and outputs it through the back. These kinds of paint booths are primarily for smaller applications, where customers are interested in containing paint overspray and less worried about providing uncontaminated air on the paint surface.

A cross-draft paint booth system is designed to pull air through an intake filter in a horizontal manner and expel it through a filter on the other side of the booth. They are completely enclosed and generally hook up to an outside vent.

A down-draft paint booth is considered the most complex, and is designed to draw air through filters on the ceiling and expel air out either the back or underneath the booth.

Along with the type of booth wanted, customers should also consider some of the other paint booth features that are a part of a paint booth system. An air make-up unit is necessary for large booths and is designed to supply outside air through a vent directly to the intake filter of the booth. Filters for the booth are another important factor to check out when purchasing a paint booth system. Lighting may seem like a minor feature, but different factors such as air pressure, extreme temperatures and general access to existing lighting features are all components to consider when acquiring a paint booth system.

Worker safety is also vital, and each paint booth is designed with optimum safety features. All paint booths have exhaust chambers to draw harmful vapors up and away from workers. Paint booth systems are also carefully monitored to ensure that each one is in compliance with all health and safety applicable requirements for OSHA and other worker safety organizations. There should be proof of compliance with all the airflow requirements as well as the fire prevention methods for the booth. Even electrical systems must be checked out with standard regulations. Paint booth systems should also enhance the work environment by providing quiet fans and motors that do not add excessive noises to the surrounding area.

Paint booth systems should also be user friendly and uncomplicated for beginners and experienced professionals alike.
