High-powered fans and motors supply optimal airflow through Aerospace Parts Booths, creating a cleaner environment. GFS designs and supplies each fan based on two- or three-stage exhaust filter requirements.
Doors on Aerospace Parts Booths are designed with durability and flexibility in mind. GFS doors are supplied based on customer need, with many options including swing, roll-up, bi-fold or sliding.
To ensure the safety of painters and equipment, a manometer and air solenoid valve are included with Aerospace Parts Booths to maintain an optimal working environment inside the booth. Limit switches come standard on pressurized booths to safely shut down spray guns when the booth doors are open.
The simplest, most cost-effective configuration, air flows horizontally through a crossdraft paint booth, parallel to the floor and over the product. Crossdraft airflow starts at the front of the booth, with air entering the booth through either filtered product doors (non-pressurized booths) or an intake chamber (pressurized booths). Air exits the booth through an exhaust plenum located at the rear of the booth.
Side downdraft paint booths are an economical solution for facilities that aren’t able to install an exhaust pit. Air enters the booth through a full-length, filtered ceiling plenum, flowing downward over the product. When air reaches the floor, it is pulled into floor-level, filtered exhaust plenums on both sides of the booth.
Semi-downdraft paint booths are a hybrid combining features of both crossdraft and downdraft booths. Air is introduced to the booth through the ceiling in the first 25 to 30 percent of the booth. It’s then pulled across the working chamber, over the vehicle and into the filtered exhaust chamber at the booth rear.
Generally accepted as the best airflow style, downdraft paint booths do an excellent job controlling overspray and contamination. Air enters the booth through a full-length, filtered ceiling plenum. From there, air flows vertically over the product and into the filtered exhaust pit in the floor.
Aerospace Parts Booths come standard with four-tube, T8, 48-inch, inside-access, fluorescent light fixtures with twist-style replacement. They are strategically placed to provide excellent brightness for spraying and color matching.
