Air Make Up Units for Metal Furniture and Fixtures
Finishing metal furniture and fixtures can involve open face booths, powder booths, mixing rooms and cure equipment that all move air through the plant. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and connects air make up units so replacement air, exhaust, heat, controls and service access are coordinated with the finishing process.
Discuss your installationBalancing Exhaust in the Finish Area
Booths and mixing rooms remove air from the building, and an air make up unit helps replace it in a controlled way. The goal is to support booth capture without pulling dust from fabrication, assembly or shipping areas into the coating zone.
Discharge Location Near Sensitive Parts
Furniture frames, shelves and cabinet parts can show defects if turbulent air carries dust or disturbs spray patterns. Supply air location, diffuser direction and proximity to booth openings should be reviewed before the unit is placed.
Heat, Power and Control Connections
An air make up unit may require gas or electrical service, control wiring, ductwork and interlocks with booth operation. Planning should identify utility paths and shutdown relationships before duct supports and roof or wall openings are finalized.
Service Space Around the Unit
Filters, belts, motors, burners or heating elements and control panels need maintenance access. Rooftop, mezzanine or indoor placement should leave safe reach for routine service without blocking production lanes below.
Inputs for Airflow Review
Prepare booth and exhaust data, fan information, building pressure concerns, door locations, current comfort issues, planned equipment changes and photos of possible unit locations.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a finishing area need replacement air?
Exhaust fans remove air from the building. Replacement air helps stabilize booth draw, room pressure and operator conditions around the finishing process.
Can one unit serve more than one booth?
It may be possible depending on airflow needs, controls, duct routing and how the booths operate. The operating sequence should be reviewed before equipment is selected or relocated.
Where should supply air enter the area?
It should enter where it supports the booth without creating drafts across wet or powder coated parts, operators or open mixing areas.
What information helps during a site visit?
Useful details include exhaust fan data, booth drawings, building layout, utility locations, roof access, operating schedule and any known pressure or comfort complaints.
