Quality and reputation are the secrets to success in the commercial finishing industry. Your facility needs premium equipment to stand out, and Global Finishing Solutions (GFS) has you covered. GFS products are precision-engineered for long-term performance and efficiency, and manufactured in the U.S. using top-quality materials.
Investing in commercial powder coating equipment could help your facility increase market share and attain higher profit margins. You could also see a return on your investment in as little as one year. Best of all, your shop will be equipped to deliver consistent finishes that will keep customers coming back for more.
GFS Powder Non-Recovery Booths offer cost-effective commercial finishing environments for a range of small-batch powder applications. The filtration system captures high volumes of overspray from commercial powder coating, while its open-end design saves floor space and facilitates easy product transport into and out of the booth.
GFS Powder Recovery Booths are perfect for small- to medium-sized commercial powder coating applications. These booths provide a bright commercial finishing environment designed to increase productivity. An integrated Powder Collection Module features high-efficiency cartridge filters and a load-triggered filter pulsing system.
GFS High-Production Powder Collection Booths are engineered to streamline the coating process by increasing productivity, profitability and product quality. These booths are often incorporated into conveyorized commercial powder coating systems and include modular designs for optimal airflow and transfer efficiency. This coating equipment is recommended for mass production.
GFS Powder Collection Modules provide high-efficiency fans, motors and filtration for commercial finishing applications. Cartridge filters are staggered into two rows, reducing the overall width of the coating equipment to save floor space. Models are available in four CFM ranges and two exhaust orientations to accommodate any facility’s needs.
When Fox Valley Sandblasting & Powder Coating expanded to a 37,000-square-foot facility in 2020, Mike Schwebke and family wanted equipment that could handle any products that came to their door. A 40-foot-long Batch Powder Oven from GFS has been big enough to outsize their competition and help boost their bottom line.
Looking for equipment for his new powder coating shop, Justin Trepper wanted an oven larger than those of his nearest competitors and one that could cure even the thickest steel. A 26-foot-long Batch Powder Oven — and equally sized Powder Recovery Booth — from GFS have helped JC Powder Coating capitalize on steady revenue from increased commercial work.
Many aspects of paint booth technology have evolved to reduce energy consumption, while also contributing to a more efficient paint environment. Not only do these technologies reduce the environmental impact of operating a paint shop, but they also lead to a cleaner, brighter and more productive operation. In hopes of helping protect the environment, GFS has identified six pieces and components of finishing equipment that contribute to sustainable growth in your shop.
Yes, commercial powder coating can prove very profitable. Powder is affordable, and the coating process is efficient, leading to high profit margins. Demand for commercial powder coating is also increasing as many businesses search for greener alternatives to liquid painting. Commercial finishing applies to many industries as well, expanding the potential customer base.
However, commercial powder coating is not an easy business. Your facility needs to establish a reputation for consistent, high-quality finishes and create a network to drive business. Coatings are applied in dry powder form and then cured, so even the slightest touch-up requires starting over. Optimizing workflow can mitigate waste and enhance your bottom line. Investing in GFS commercial finishing equipment can streamline your shop’s operations and boost profitability.
Commercial finishing applications involve overspray or excess powder that doesn’t end up on the product. Powder recovery booths feature filtration systems that capture and reclaim this excess powder, making them more efficient for larger and high-volume jobs. Non-recovery powder booths are simpler and lack reclaim functionality, making them better for smaller jobs and frequent color changes when reclaim wouldn’t be practical.
Yes, maintaining your commercial finishing equipment is essential for a long life and top-notch performance. Routine maintenance includes periodic filter changes, cleaning the booth’s interior and inspecting the airflow system.
GFS booths are built for long-term durability and include options like easy-access panels and modular filter banks to streamline maintenance. Our customizable service and preventative maintenance programs also make it easier to maintain your commercial powder coating booth. A certified GFS technician can visit your facility quarterly or monthly to clean your booth, swap out parts and address any issues you may have. Our technical support team is also equipped to answer any maintenance questions.
Yes, GFS offers a complete line of batch powder ovens to deliver temperature uniformity and quick cycle times. Products are transferred from the booth to the oven to expedite curing and improve productivity. Many customers purchase an oven with their booth to create a full coating process line.
If you already have an oven from another manufacturer, we can integrate it with a GFS commercial powder booth. Our design and engineering team has firsthand experience with more than 20 brands of booths, so we can service your system even if it has non-GFS components.
Yes, GFS finishing equipment is designed to meet or exceed all federal regulations. GFS engineers actively contribute to safety codes published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). In addition, our products are fully compliant with guidelines published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the International Code Council (ICC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Many of our code compliance features also provide practical benefits. Filtered exhaust systems, efficient airflow and overspray containment support better working conditions while minimizing powder waste. Our equipment undergoes rigorous third-party testing through Electrical Testing Labs (ETL), so you can trust its performance.
GFS has over 50 years of experience in the finishing industry. We understand every aspect of the coating process and can offer industry-specific advice to any facility. Our U.S.-based vertical manufacturing process gives us complete control over every aspect of our products, and we’ll handle any issues that arise.
Our distribution network includes all of North America. Our distributors are well-trained to provide local support and product training. They can walk you through the purchasing and installation process to set your shop up for success. If you need replacement parts, most are in stock and available for immediate shipping.
Our engineers can also leverage advanced technologies like computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to project booth performance. We’ll show you how your booth will perform before installation, ensuring there are no unwelcome surprises.
