Designing Effective Ductwork for Industrial Finishing Systems
Description Ductwork is the backbone of any spray booth or finishing system. Even the best booth, fan, and filtration package will underperform if the duct system is poorly designed. Improper duct layouts reduce airflow, increase energy consumption, create uneven booth pressures, and lead to premature equipment failure. Well-designed ductwork maintains stable airflow, minimizes static pressure losses, and ensures contaminants are safely exhausted from the facility. Understand

Improve Finish Quality Instantly With the Right Air Makeup Unit
Description In any professional finishing environment—automotive spray booths, powder coating booths, or prep stations—consistent temperature and stable airflow are non-negotiable. An Air Makeup Unit (AMU) ensures both, delivering a controlled stream of pre-conditioned air that keeps your spray booth balanced, efficient, and producing predictable, high-quality finishes. Without an AMU, a booth must rely on unconditioned shop air, which introduces temperature swings, drafts, n

Drying Waterborne Paints: The Science and Technology Behind Focused Directional Turbulent Systems
Description Waterborne paints boast lower environmental impact through lower VOC emission. Waterborne paint uses water as the primary solvent rather than volatile organic solvents (VOCs). This is the biggest reason environmental rules and regulations are pushing for the use of waterborne paints over traditional automotive paints. Unfortunately, waterborne paints can have long drying times and traditional spray booths are not designed with this is in mind. They need fast and t

Automotive Spray Booth Airflow Types: Optimizing Air Movement for Superior Finishes
Airflow design is one of the most critical factors in achieving a high-quality paint finish within an automotive spray booth. The direction and pattern of air movement determine how effectively overspray is captured, how clean the environment remains, and how consistently coatings are applied. California Pulse designs and manufactures spray booths engineered for optimal airflow performance—ensuring cleaner finishes, faster drying times, and improved energy efficiency. Our exp
