Spray-Tech/Junair Paint Booth Relocation
Relocating a Spray-Tech/Junair paint booth is more than moving panels from one spot to another. The work involves documenting the booth, disconnecting utilities, handling panels and doors carefully, rebuilding the air path, and adapting exhaust and make-up air to the new location.

Documenting Before Teardown
A careful relocation starts by recording panel locations, hardware, controls, duct connections, fan orientation, utility tie-ins, and field modifications. Good documentation helps the booth go back together with fewer surprises.
Moving the Booth Safely
Booth panels, doors, lights, plenums, filters, and fan components need staging space and a practical route through the building. Forklift access, ceiling height, dock location, and temporary storage should be reviewed before teardown begins.
Rebuilding Air and Utility Connections
The new location may require revised exhaust ductwork, fresh make-up air routing, adjusted compressed air drops, gas piping changes, electrical coordination, and fire suppression work. Relocation planning should treat these connections as part of the move, not an afterthought.
Production Restart Considerations
Before the booth returns to service, filters, doors, lighting, fans, dampers, seals, and maintenance access should be checked. The relocated booth also needs to fit the new production flow so parts can enter, cure, and exit without creating bottlenecks.
Frequently asked questions
What should be saved during booth teardown?
Hardware, brackets, panels, trim, doors, lights, controls, fan components, and any reusable duct sections should be labeled and protected during the move.
Can a booth be relocated to a smaller area?
Only if the booth, doors, workpiece movement, utilities, exhaust, make-up air, and maintenance access can still be accommodated.
What changes most often during relocation?
Exhaust routing, utility drops, control locations, roof penetrations, and production flow commonly change when a booth moves.
How should downtime be planned?
Plan around teardown, transport path, reassembly, utility tie-ins, trade coordination, inspection points, and start-up checks before committing production work to the new booth.
What information helps estimate relocation scope?
Booth drawings, photos, current layout, proposed layout, utility locations, roof details, and the largest parts processed through the booth are useful.
