Discuss your installationLayout for Varied Customer Parts
Job shops may coat small brackets one day and large frames or panels the next. Booth planning should allow for carts, racks, hang lines, masking space, inspection areas, and clear movement to the oven.
Changeover and Cleaning Access
Frequent color changes make access around collectors, filters, hoppers, floors, and gun equipment especially important. The booth should be placed so cleaning can happen without blocking staging or cure loading.
Air, Power, and Controls Placement
Compressed air, electrical feeds, grounding, lighting, controls, and filtration equipment should be routed around customer part flow, fork truck aisles, prep areas, ovens, and shipping or receiving paths.
