Rohner Paint Booth Exhaust Ductwork
Rohner paint booth exhaust ductwork connects the booth to the building and has a direct effect on air movement, containment and service access. Duct routing should be planned around booth type, fan location, roof or wall conditions, make-up air and nearby production equipment.

Duct Path and Building Constraints
Double D Mechanical reviews the route from the booth exhaust opening to the discharge point, including columns, roof framing, walls, platforms, utilities and other equipment. A clean duct path helps reduce conflicts during installation and later service.
- Identify roof or wall penetrations before fabrication and setting work.
- Review conflicts with sprinklers, electrical, gas, compressed air and cranes.
- Leave access for dampers, fans, filters and cleanout points where present.
Fan Placement and Service Clearance
Exhaust fan location affects maintenance access, vibration concerns, roof coordination and duct layout. Fan placement should be reviewed with the facility team so service staff can reach belts, motors, guards and isolation points as needed.
Air Balance With Make-Up Air
Exhaust ductwork cannot be planned apart from replacement air. Intake conditions, make-up air equipment, booth openings and filter loading all influence how the booth pulls air through the spray area.
Information Needed Before Routing
Helpful inputs include booth drawings, fan information, ceiling heights, roof details, existing duct paths, utility locations and photos above and around the booth. Production constraints should also be shared when work must be sequenced around active operations.
Frequently asked questions
What affects paint booth exhaust duct routing?
Booth location, fan placement, roof framing, wall openings, structural steel, utility conflicts, make-up air and service access all affect routing.
Why review make-up air with exhaust ductwork?
The booth exhaust removes air from the building. Make-up air helps replace that air so booth pressure and airflow are more predictable.
What photos help before a ductwork visit?
Photos of the booth, ceiling area, roof or wall route, fan locations, nearby utilities and surrounding production equipment are useful.
Can exhaust ductwork changes affect booth performance?
Yes. Restrictions, long runs, poor transitions or fan access problems can affect airflow, maintenance and how the booth clears during operation.
