Reverse Air Flow Truck Booth – An Introduction


The truck reverse airflow technique is in use in spray booths for trucks for about 30 years. The entry of the clean air is through intake filters, which are installed in the back-wall. The air removes the excess spray through the exhaust filters in the booth front. The truck spray booth uses J-beam construction in place of the I-beam since it is lighter and stronger. Steel stiffeners are used for extra strength.
To enable quick erection, CNC machines are used for punching holes for nuts and bolts. The main doors are in 18” gauge reinforced galvanized steel and you have the drive through and window options. The personnel door can be located just about anywhere on the sidewalls. The fixtures for the lights meet standard specifications and are strategically located to ensure uniform lighting. Today’s advanced technologies enable the production of efficient automotive spray booths.

How To Get The Best Mixing Room

The quality of the mixing room is critical to the performance of the devices to be painted. So it’s essential to know about the parameters that should regulate your decision to buy the right mixing room panel. Here we discuss some important points.
In a standard production unit, generally 18 gauge steel panels are used to manufacture the booth shell. Given that there are multiple options, as many as 30 different sizes, to fit any shop layout you can make your selection as per your space and need.
During operation, the clean air rushes in through two intake filters (20”x20”) from the top at one booth end and is exhausted through the opposite bottom end of the booth thereby ensuring a vapor free atmosphere. To check the right functioning of the mixing room, you should ask for a trial.
The turbine of the exhaust should be noiseless and able to cleanse itself. The light fixtures are located to prevent shadows. So select the one with right lighting arrangement inside the enclosure. A hydraulic door closer ensures a clean environment. Industrial booths can be engineered to have a mixing room attached to a full down draft spray booth. Provision exists for a personnel door and floor channels to contain spillage. There are options for view windows and additional personnel doors.
Given the options available, for the right mixing room, all that’s required is your little discretion.

Thermal Industrial Spray Booths – A Brief

Thermal industrial spray booths are combined heating and spray booth systems. These combined spray booths are very energy efficient. Thus, while the spray environment inside is free from turbulence, the curing or thermal environment is of exceptional quality thereby providing a superior quality of surface finish. The entire process is fully automated and extremely user friendly. The spray booths are fitted with a time and temperature controller console. There is a control panel, which completes the baking cycle automatically.

The entire system is not only efficient but silent as well. Since both the time and temperature can be preset, the customer is ensured of a superior finish each time. This guarantees product reliability. There are fans both at the intake and exhaust stages. There are filters at the intake, prefilter and exhaust stages to ensure minimum particulate matter at the exit thereby achieving a clean environment.
