Painting Booths and Rooms

Painting rooms, booths, tunnels, and acoustic rooms are used when processing larger workpieces. Painting rooms contain the painting or coating equipment, the workpiece and the operator. Painting booths usually contain internal lighting, ventilation and recovery systems. The operator may operate the spray gun in offhand mode, or the gun may be reciprocator-mounted. The workpieces often rest on open-grid flooring that allows used paint or powder coating to drop through for recycling. Specialized coating rooms or booths are designed to contain the sound generated by high-pressure paint or thermal spray processes. Production tunnels consist of long walk-in enclosures containing continuous processing lines and systems for cleaning, coating, drying or curing, and conveying or material handling.
