Reasons And Benefits Of Having A Paint Spray Booth In Every Shop

By Sandra Green


Manufacturing has a lot of steps and processes that involve automation to keep production running smoothly and efficiently. These are not only limited to assembly but also to finishing surfaces and other paint jobs that is supposed to be the last part manufacturing in an assembly line nature. Getting equipment that help on automation makes sure that the product is of top quality.

Hand painting can be done on anything but for a fine finish, spray or air brushing is recommended. This aspect of making a product may not matter so much especially with smaller scale items, but when it comes to trucks and fighter planes, you see the task as something colossal. That is how the paint spray booth became a necessity.

The matter that paint jobs can be done by hand may make the concept of spray booths a bit trivial. Looking at the matter in a large scale perspective, you are able to see the difference and importance it holds. The purpose of this structure is not to only speed up production but also protect from health and fire hazards.

Using spray paint definitely speeds up the task. This essentially, systematizes the painting of products and is made sure to be done in a safe environment. The particle that make up paint are harmful to the lungs and are combustible. This makes the main structure of the booth involve ventilation fans and other fixtures that allow the draft to control overspray and dust.

The basic ones found in the market are cross draft, semi down and down draft, and side draft. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. The trick is to choose one best fit for the job that needs to be done and the available budget that can be spent on this equipment. The common one found in shops is the crossdraft type since it is the most economically friendly option.

The four designs are named after where the ventilation and the draft passes. These are crossdraft, semidown, side and down draft. These all vary in how the exhaust is placed. Such a small detail is important because it can affect both the worker and the final product.

The ones in most shops is the crossdraft due to how affordable it is in terms of materials needed for construction. The exhaust is located at the back end of the rectangular enclosure. This makes sure the air that passes from the main entrance crosses the object and bring with it the harmful particles and go out through the large exhaust fan. This gets the job done but may affect the finished product.

The ones where exhausts are located at the side, in relative to the object that needs to be painted are the more expensive of all four standard models . This is because there are more materials that is being used in its construction. The biggest advantage is how the overspray is being veered away from the object so it becomes unlikely that dirt and debris stick to the paint.

The last type is the downdraft. These ones involve a lot of concrete work since it may need pits or needs elevation. The construction can be hassle since ceiling height needs to be extended. There may be significant costs, but you can be assured that this has the cleanest results. Since this has ventilation from under, all debris and overspray just go down in the pit without compromising contamination to the painter regardless of where he is situated.
