How to Select a Paint Booth Airflow

We will help you select the best airflow for your specific application and work flow. The shape and size of your work will help us determine what airflow pattern will best control your overspray, provide a clean dirt free work area, and protect your painters.

Selecting the correct airflow for your application will often be unique to your process. There is no best airflow for all applications. Are you painting complete items or sections of large items? Are you using multiple colors? Are you painting the same size work every time or does the size vary?

Work flow and shop space for staging, or lack of shop space for staging, will help determine if an accelerated dry cycle might be right for you. If you are applying multiple coats a flash cycle will increase throughput. Perhaps you may not require a flash or cure cycle and will be fine with just a building air replacement system.

Below are the 4 basic types of airflow. Many applications are unique so selecting the proper airflow can make the finishing process the best it can be.

Crossdraft Airflow: Air enters the paint booth through the filtered front doors. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust chamber at the rear of the booth by an exhaust fan.

Semi Downdraft Airflow: The air makeup unit pushes air into the paint booth through the filtered intake plenum on top of the booth above the front doors. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust chamber at the rear of the booth by an exhaust fan.

Side Downdraft Airflow: The air makeup unit pushes air into the paint booth through the filtered intake plenum on top of the booth. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust chambers at floor level in the side walls of the booth by an exhaust fans.

Pit Downdraft Airflow: The air makeup unit pushes air into the paint booth through the filtered intake plenum on top of the booth. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the grated filtered exhaust pit in the floor of the booth by an exhaust fan.
