A Spray Tech drive-through booth with a pit for downdraft air flow was installed in the new body shop. The inside set of powder coated bi-fold booth doors are pictured here.
A convenient roll-up door provides entry directly into the booth from outside the building.
The mix room door and man door are powder coated with full-length windows for exceptional visibility.
The booth is heated by a 3.3 million BTU Spray Tech/Mercury air make-up system. A variable frequency drive reduces the booth air flow by 50% during the cure cycle. In addition, it recycles 80% of the heated air during curing for remarkable energy savings.
(Above) The two skirted air make-up systems give a sleek look to the installation.
Other project components include this generous mix room (right) and a variable frequency drive to help balance the booth's air flow and save energy during the cure cycle. Two Mattei rotary vane air compressors were installed to serve the whole dealer facility.

An attached mix room meets all building and fire codes and provides instant access into the booth.
Further energy savings are achieved with this Mattei 15 hp rotary vane air compressor. The final element for a perfect air system is a BelAir compressed air dryer.
Wasatch Abrasive Blasting Salt Lake City, Utah This remodeling project, completed in 2004, presented the challenge of installing a large truck booth in limited space. A compliance package prepared by TOMIAC Consulting, Inc. helped convince building officials and fire marshalls that the set-up would work.
(Above and below) A 45-foot truck booth was stretched to 16'W x 16'H x 55' Long. New lights were added to brighten the interior.
Ace Disposal West Valley City, Utah This 2004 project required the installation of a spray booth large enough for painting garbage trucks and big dumpsters.
(Above) A heated air-make-up system with digital controller and bake cycle keep work moving through the booth. (Below) The truck booth fits nicely into the adjacent production area. Click photo to enlarge.
