Coating booth configurator
Describe the largest part you coat and how it reaches the booth. The configurator sizes a cyclone or cartridge powder booth, an automatic booth with reciprocators or robots, or a paper-filter, dry-filter or water-curtain liquid paint booth, checks it, and draws it in 3D. Download the model as STEP for your CAD system, or send the booth to a quote.
Pick the booth type, the largest part and how it reaches the booth. The booth is sized, checked and drawn again as you change each value.
Describe the booth
Say what you coat, the size of the largest part, powder or liquid paint, and whether the parts arrive on a conveyor, on a hand-pushed rail, on a stand or on a turntable. The assistant sizes the booth, runs the checks and explains what it assumed.
The design assistant is not connected on this copy of the site. The booth below is live: change it with the form to see the checks and the 3D model change.
The 3D view needs WebGL and access to cdn.jsdelivr.net. The tables below still show the whole design.
Common questions
What do I need to enter?
The size and weight of your largest part, how it reaches the booth (on a conveyor, a hand-pushed rail, a stand or a turntable), the number of powder colours with the colour changes per shift, and the free length, width and height of the room. For a liquid booth, say how the supply air is heated: electric, natural gas, diesel or not at all. Pick the booth type in the form, or describe the job to the assistant and let it choose. The output per shift is optional; add it and it is checked too.
Which booth type should I choose?
Start with powder or liquid paint. For powder, a cartridge booth needs a filter module for each colour it reclaims and suits one or two colours with few changes; a cyclone booth reclaims any number of colours and, with its cleaning features, changes colour quickly; an automatic booth takes the parts through on a conveyor past guns or robots. For liquid paint, paper-filter, dry-filter and water-curtain booths differ in how they catch the overspray.
When is the standard booth enough?
When the part fits through the standard opening with room for the operator; the checks say so. A larger part gets a booth built to its size, with the extraction, filters and fan scaled to match.
How exact is the result?
It is a first sizing from the same rules our engineers use. The final design is set in the proposal, after we have seen your parts and your room.
What can I do with the 3D model?
Turn it, view it from above or from the side, look inside, and download it as a STEP file for your CAD system. Parts, guns and conveyors are not drawn; the openings show where they go.
Have the booth checked against your parts
Send the booth with photographs of the parts and a sketch of the room. We reply with a sized proposal, or with the reason the booth should change.
