Spray Systems open face paint booth installation and relocation
Spray Systems open face paint booths support finishing work on fabricated parts, assemblies and equipment that need accessible loading from the front. Double D Mechanical plans installation, relocation and connections around capture airflow, exhaust ducting, replacement air, lighting, utilities and workpiece handling.

Front Access for Parts and Operators
The open front must stay usable for forklifts, carts, hooks or manual handling. Booth placement should account for the largest part, the operator's spray position and the space needed to move finished work out without disturbing nearby processes.
Capture Velocity and Exhaust Routing
Open face booths depend on air moving from the shop side toward the filters and exhaust system. Duct routing, fan location, stack path and filter access should be coordinated with walls, roof structure, doors and existing production equipment.
Replacement Air and Shop Balance
Exhaust from an open face booth can affect pressure relationships in the surrounding shop. Make-up air, tempered air, door openings and adjacent exhaust equipment should be reviewed so operators are not fighting drafts or starving the booth for air.
Connections to Plan Before Setting
Electrical service, lighting, compressed air, controls and fire protection interfaces need clear routing. A site visit is more productive when drawings, equipment dimensions, photos, roof details and utility locations are available.
- Identify the largest workpiece and how it enters the booth.
- Mark nearby doors, cranes, columns, drains and traffic lanes.
- Provide photos of current exhaust, electrical and air service locations.
Frequently asked questions
What makes open face booth layout different?
The front opening must support loading, spraying and unloading while still allowing the booth to pull air toward the filters.
Can an open face booth be moved?
Yes, if the new location can support the booth footprint, exhaust path, replacement air, utilities and access for filters and fans.
What utilities are usually coordinated?
Electrical service, lighting circuits, compressed air, controls and any required interlocks are commonly reviewed.
Why is make-up air important?
The booth removes air from the building. Replacement air helps maintain predictable airflow and reduces unwanted drafts around the work area.
