When it comes to industrial painting and finishing, choosing the right booth is crucial for both efficiency and safety. Global Finishing Solutions (GFS) offers a variety of booths tailored to meet different industrial requirements. This guide will help you understand the key factors to consider when selecting the best booth for your needs.
Understanding Booth Dimensions:
- Interior Width: The width of your booth should be at least 5 feet more than the width of the largest item you plan to place inside it. This extra space accounts for fixtures or pallet sizes and ensures easy maneuverability.
- Interior Height: Add 2 feet to the height of your tallest item. This additional height is essential for proper ventilation and to prevent overspray accumulation.
- Interior Depth: An extra 5 feet should be added to the depth of the largest item. This space is necessary for efficient airflow and operator comfort.
Additional Sizing Considerations:
- Square Footage: Ensure that your shop's ceiling heights and floor space can accommodate not just the booth's exterior dimensions, but also other equipment like Paint Mix Rooms and Dust Collection systems.
- Shop Height: GFS recommends maintaining a 3-foot gap between the top of the booth and the shop ceiling. This space is crucial for maintenance, installation, and accommodating an exhaust fan.
- Maneuvering Vehicles and Equipment: Your shop layout should allow easy movement of products into and out of the booth. Ensure there's sufficient space to move around corners and access the booth doors straight on.
- Door Considerations: The booth’s door swing range should be considered for ease of product entrance and exit. GFS offers bi-fold, tri-fold, sliding, and roll-up doors for space-limited areas.
- Conveyor Requirements: If your operation includes a conveyor, ensure it is wide enough for finishers to operate comfortably and efficiently.
Utilizing the Industrial Product Configurator Tool:
GFS has implemented an innovative quote and configuration tool to streamline the ordering process. This tool helps differentiate between pre-engineered products, options, and custom offerings, providing insights into costs and lead times.
Selecting the right booth involves careful consideration of your specific industrial needs. By understanding these key factors and utilizing GFS's configurator tool, you can ensure that your choice not only fits your current requirements but also accommodates future growth and changes in your operations.
