Features
Filtration
Exhaust filtration consists of fiberglass media for high-efficiency paint removal as air exits the booth.
Fans
Air is exhausted out by a belt-driven tubeaxial fan, designed with an aluminum bladed propeller for low noise levels.
Lighting
Booths come standard with LED tube lights, featuring an output of up to 10,000 lumens each. Fixtures are all inside-access and Class 1 Division 2 rated.
Construction
Booths are constructed from 18-ga galvanized steel. Panels come pre-punched for easy nut-and-bolt assembly. Full installation instructions and 3D modeling in SolidWorks.
Airflow Options
Modified (Semi) Down Draft
Air enters from the ceiling near the front and flows diagonally toward the rear exhaust. Offers better airflow than crossflow without the need for a pit.
Side Downdraft
Air flows from the ceiling down and exits through low sidewall exhaust plenums. Delivers a downdraft effect without requiring floor grating.
Full Down Draft
Air enters from the ceiling and flows straight down over the product, exiting through the floor. This provides the cleanest finish with minimal overspray contamination.
Cross Draft
Fresh unfiltered air is pulled in through the front of the booth and drawn horizontally to an exhaust plenum at the back. This ensures overspray is captured, airborne contaminants are quickly removed, and a high quality finish.
Equipment Options
Multiple Bay Configurations
We offer prep stations in multiple bay configurations, giving you the flexibility to handle high-volume workflows or accommodate oversized projects with ease.
Heater (AMU) Pairing
Our prep stations can be paired with our Rammstein Air AMUs for added heat, improving cure times and boosting productivity in any operation.
Powder Coated Finish
Our booths can be powder coated for a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that’s easy to clean and built to last in demanding environments.
