As air is exhausted from process equipment, that heat is lost as well. Heat recovery systems help to reclaim some of this heat that escapes with the exhausted air, in turn providing measurable energy savings. On average, GFS heat recovery systems will provide 40-50% energy savings for air make-up systems serving the booth for both heating and cooling.
Heat
| Air-to-Air Heat Exchanger | A flat plate air-to-air heat exchanger captures heat from the exhausted air and uses that heat to heat up the incoming fresh air into the booth or oven. This heat exchanger is 50-60 percent effective, dependent upon face velocity and plate spacing. |
| Variable Speed Unit with Economizer | The Economizer feature will slow the booth and air make-up unit to half speed when the painter isn’t spraying in the booth. Reducing the booth to half speed will reduce the amount of heat being exhausted and reduce electrical usage. |
| Direct-Fired Burner | The direct-fired burner offers 100 percent thermal efficiency, as opposed to 80 percent (nominal) efficiency for an indirect fired air make-up heater. The turndown ratio for direct-fired units is much greater than common indirect fired units. This means better control of discharge air temperatures and better use of fuel energy to heat the air as it moves across the burner. |
| Heavy-Duty Construction | GFS’ Industrial Heat Recovery System is constructed with a G-90 galvanized casing. Designed for outdoor mounting, this unit is built to withstand the toughest weather conditions. |

An easy way to move paint supplies in and out of an automotive paint booth is with a Rotating Booth Access Turntable. Installed into the wall connecting your paint booth and mix room, this GFS-exclusive booth accessory allows for the quick transfer of premixed paint and supplies. One technician can be mixing paint or preparing supplies while another technician is spraying, increasing productivity and throughput.

Surface preparation is an essential, yet often overlooked part of the powder coating application process. Powder application requires a clean surface for powder to adhere properly. By cleaning and prepping metal products before they are powder coated, your coating better bonds to the substrate and can withstand exterior weathering. GFS offers a complete line of surface preparation equipment for sanding, grinding, blasting and washing — including Dust Collection Booths, Blast Booths, Pretreatment Washers and Wash Booths.
Precision engineered for excellent performance and efficiency, Batch Powder Coating Booths from GFS enable businesses to produce more high-quality powder coating finishes in batch applications. Choose from two booth models with multiple size and feature options to meet your production, budget and floor space requirements.
Following powder application, the part or product must be heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time to ensure the coating is properly cured. Proper curing ensures a durable powder coating finish and a fully developed color. Designed for small- to medium-sized batch powder coating applications, Batch Powder Ovens from GFS deliver consistent, high-quality finishes. Available in a range of pre-engineered sizes and options, GFS Batch Powder Ovens are designed to meet your budget and lead time expectations, without compromising on quality.
