You may be thinking of installing a paint booth in your organization for a variety of different reasons, but the main question to answer once you’ve made this decision is what your paint booth will be used for, what the paint booth functionalities be, and how to choose the correct variety of paint booth for that purpose. There are five main types of automotive paint booth styles available in the market and spray tech offers all of them. Each one is better suited to different functionality, but in reality, the different options of paint booths are defined by the various types of airflow that each booth utilizes.
Following are the categories of multiple Paint Booth Functionalities
Cross-draft or Cross-flow Paint Booths
When it comes to types of paint booth functionalities, cross-draft or cross-flow paint booths are the most simple and most cost-effective. Air comes in at the front of the booth and flows parallel to the floor over whatever product has had paint applied. The layout of these types of booths is designed for even airflow through the complete working area.
Downdraft Paint Booths
Highly regarded as the best airflow style for a paint booth, downdraft paint booths are an ideal option in many ways. These types of paint booths are good for containing contamination and overspray when applying paint. The air flows from above and is drawn through an exhaust vent in the floor.
Side Downdraft Paint Booths
Side downdraft paint booths have airflow coming from the ceiling but are being drawn into vents at floor level that is in the walls of the booth. This is a great economical solution for a business wanting a paint booth that may not be able to install floor vents.
Semi-Downdraft Paint Booths
A hybrid of the downdraft and cross-draft paint booths, semi-downdraft paint booths provide the advantages of both types without the necessity of floor vents. These can be the best choice if you are in a space that would require removing concrete or digging to provide a full downdraft booth. There are also many options available for each type of paint booth, such as adding heat, finishings to protect the insides of the booth, insulation, doors, and recirculation options. You can customize your booth to be exactly what will work best for you.
When looking at types of paint booth functionalities there are many choices available, with advantages and disadvantages to each. A reputable paint booth manufacturer will be able to answer all of your questions and point you in the direction of the best paint booth to satisfy all of your needs.
