RTT Finishing Solutions Booth Installation and Relocation

RTT Finishing Solutions, formerly Col-Met, is associated with downdraft, crossdraft, open-face, truck and automotive refinish booths, as well as paint mixing rooms, prep stations and powder coating booths. Double D Mechanical supports the installation, relocation and service details that affect booth performance, including exhaust paths, make-up air, utilities, clearances and access for maintenance.

Layout Review for Booth Placement

A booth location should support the way parts move through the facility. Door orientation, vehicle or part entry, prep space, masking areas, finish inspection and downstream handling all affect how an RTT booth should be positioned and connected.

Duct, Fan and Roof Coordination

Exhaust routing has to work with the building structure, roof equipment, nearby intakes and service access. A relocation can change static pressure, duct length and fan access, so the mechanical path should be reviewed before panels are moved.

Make-Up Air and Building Pressure

Booth exhaust can change room pressure and comfort in nearby work areas. Make-up air placement, discharge direction, heat source, controls and interlocks need to be coordinated with the booth so operators get consistent airflow during spray operations.

Connections That Need Early Decisions

Gas, power, compressed air, control wiring, lighting and fire protection interfaces should be located before the booth is assembled. Early coordination helps prevent conduit, pipe or duct from blocking doors, filters, service panels or future maintenance work.

Project questions

Frequently asked questions

What information helps plan an RTT booth installation?

Useful items include the booth type, equipment drawings, intended part sizes, airflow requirements if available, ceiling height, roof access, utility locations and production schedule constraints.

Is a truck booth different from an automotive refinish booth during setup?

Yes. Truck booths generally need more attention to door clearance, part staging, lift or platform access, longer duct runs and larger make-up air and exhaust impacts.

Can booth ductwork be reused after relocation?

Some components may be reusable if they fit the new route and condition requirements, but duct length, transitions, supports, roof openings and fan placement still need review.

Why keep open space around filters and fans?

Restricted access slows maintenance and can make routine filter, belt, motor and bearing work harder than necessary. Service zones should be protected during layout planning.

What can delay a booth move?

Common delays include unresolved roof openings, missing utility disconnect plans, equipment access conflicts, controls questions and production areas that are not cleared for rigging.
