Vertical Down Draft
Paint Booth System

Investing in a vertical down draft paint booth is a smart decision for any auto body shop. It provides a clean and safe workspace with advanced ventilation to remove paint fumes.

Vertical Down Draft
Paint Booth System

A vertical down draft paint booth is a specialized enclosure used in automotive refinishing, industrial painting, and other applications requiring controlled paint spraying environments.

Unlike cross draft or side draft booths, which draw air horizontally across the workpiece, a vertical down draft booth pulls air from the top of the booth vertically down through filters located beneath the floor grates. This design helps to capture overspray and airborne contaminants efficiently, directing them away from the operator and the workpiece below.

The filtered air is then either recirculated or exhausted outside, depending on the system setup. Vertical down draft booths offer advantages such as superior overspray containment, consistent airflow, and reduced contamination risks, making them popular choices in industries where high-quality paint finishes are essential.

Features:

Vertical Airflow: The primary feature of a vertical down draft paint booth is the downward flow of air. Air is drawn in through intake filters at the top of the booth and flows vertically downward over the object being painted.

Filtered Air Intake: The intake filters at the top of the booth ensure that only clean, filtered air enters the booth. This helps prevent contaminants from entering the painting environment and affecting the quality of the finish.

Ceiling Plenum: Above the workspace, there is typically a ceiling plenum where the filtered air is distributed evenly across the width of the booth before descending downward.

Exhaust System: At the bottom of the booth, there are exhaust filters or grates where the overspray and solvent vapors are removed from the airflow. The filtered air is then exhausted outside the booth or recirculated back into the facility after passing through additional filtration.

Safety Features: Paint booths are equipped with safety features such as fire suppression systems, explosion-proof lighting, and emergency stop buttons to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

Lighting: Proper lighting is essential for painters to accurately see the surfaces they are painting. Vertical down draft paint booths are equipped with bright, evenly distributed lighting fixtures that provide optimal visibility.

Control Panels: Control panels allow operators to adjust settings such as airflow velocity, temperature, and curing times to meet the specific requirements of the painting process.

Construction Materials: Paint booths are typically constructed from durable materials such as galvanized steel or powder-coated aluminum to withstand the harsh chemicals and conditions present during the painting process.

Compliance: Modern paint booths are designed to meet or exceed industry standards and regulations for environmental protection, worker safety, and quality control.

Customization Options: Manufacturers often offer customization options to meet the specific needs of different industries and applications. This may include varying booth sizes, additional access doors, conveyor systems, and more.

Material Compatibility:

Fire Resistance: Use materials like galvanized steel or fire-rated insulation to prevent fire hazards.

Chemical Resistance: Opt for materials such as stainless steel or certain plastics to withstand corrosive paints and solvents.

Static Electricity Control: Choose materials with anti-static properties or treatments to prevent static buildup.

Ventilation Compatibility: Select materials that facilitate proper airflow, like perforated panels, for efficient overspray capture.

Regulatory Compliance: Ensure materials meet safety and environmental standards set by OSHA and the EPA.

Ease of Cleaning and Maintenance: Pick materials that are easy to clean to maintain a contaminant-free environment.

Durability: Use sturdy materials to withstand industrial use and provide long-lasting performance.

Compliance &
Standards:

NFPA 33: Covers design, construction, and ventilation requirements for spray application areas.

OSHA Regulations: Ensure workplace safety, including ventilation and hazardous materials handling.
