To Recirc, or Not to Recirc, that is the Question of Energy Efficiency
Description A recirculating paint booth can result in huge energy efficiency savings for your business. In conventional paint booths, air flows through the system once and is 100% exhausted out. None of the air is recirculated. In recirculating booths, a portion of the air passes through the booth multiple times and a portion exhausts out. In the industry, a recirculation package is usually 80/20. This means that 80% of the air is recirculated and 20% is exhausted out. This c

Surface Preparation Basics: How Proper Pretreatment Shapes Finish Quality
Description Surface preparation is the foundation of any high-quality powder coating or liquid paint process. Before a part ever reaches the spray booth, it must be cleaned, decontaminated, and conditioned to ensure proper adhesion, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Without proper surface prep, even the best coatings will fail—resulting in peeling, rusting, or inconsistent finish quality. California Pulse engineers preparation environments and equipment that hel
