Gema USA Paint Booth Exhaust Ductwork
Exhaust ductwork for Gema USA booth equipment must connect the booth to fans and discharge points while preserving airflow, access and plant routing. Double D Mechanical coordinates duct paths with structure, roof or wall openings, make-up air, utilities and finishing-area workflow.

Route Selection From Booth to Discharge
Duct routing should be reviewed from the booth connection through the building envelope or existing exhaust path. Turns, offsets, roof framing, wall structure, overhead utilities and lift access can all affect the route.
Fan Location and Maintenance Room
Fans, transitions and supports need enough clearance for inspection and service. Placement should avoid blocking booth doors, filter access, recovery equipment, roof hatches, crane travel or other maintenance lanes.
Replacement Air and Booth Balance
Exhaust work should be considered with make-up air and surrounding plant ventilation. Nearby doors, other exhaust systems and supply diffusers can change booth conditions and may need review before duct changes are made.
Site Details for Duct Planning
Before field work, gather booth drawings, fan information, roof or wall construction notes, ceiling height, utility locations, photos above the booth and any known constraints on penetrations or shutdown timing.
Frequently asked questions
What affects the exhaust route for a Gema USA booth?
Booth connection location, roof or wall structure, overhead utilities, fan placement, service access and discharge location all affect the route.
Why coordinate exhaust with make-up air?
The booth removes air from the finishing area, so replacement air helps maintain stable booth conditions and reduces unwanted drafts through openings.
Can exhaust ductwork be changed without moving the booth?
Often it can, but the existing fan, support points, penetrations, access clearances and surrounding utilities need to be reviewed first.
What photos help with exhaust duct planning?
Photos of the booth connection, ceiling space, roof or exterior wall, fan location, nearby utilities and access paths are useful.
