How much does it cost to install a spray booth?

They can range anywhere between $40,000 to $50,000 excluding transportation and assembly fees, which needs to also be considered when creating a budget for a new or replacement paint booth. Large booths are generally technologically-advanced, so a number of the features are already able to be customized and automated.

How big should a spray booth be?

For automotive refinish applications, paint booth sizes tend to be more standardized, with 9-foot heights, 14-foot widths and 24-, 27- or 30-foot lengths. Higher ceilings to accommodate taller vehicles and size customizations are available.

How much airflow do you need for a spray booth?

OSHA 29.1910 and NFPA-33 have minimum requirements for air flow to decrease the concentration of flammable materials in a spray paint booth. The old standard was 100 linear feet per minute (lfm), and this is still stated in the International Fire Code (IFC).

How many CFM does a paint booth need?

Multiply the booth’s face area by 100 feet per minute to achieve CFM. One hundred feet per minute is the guideline for air movement in the booth area. Using the example from above, 80 square feet multiplied by 100 feet per minute equals 8,000 CFM. This is the size of the fan needed.

Does paint booth need explosion proof fan?

NFPA regulations also require fans to be explosion-proof and recommend against the use of belt drive fans. If belt-drive is chosen both belt and pulley must be completely enclosed.

How do I calculate CFM for spray booth?

To calculate the needed CFM rating, multiply the height and width by 100 FPM: 10′ x 14′ x 100 FPM = 14000 CFM. To meet our goal of 100 FPM, this size booth would need a fan capable of moving 14000 CFM of air.

What kind of fan do you use for a paint booth?

tube axial fan
The exhaust fan for a paint booth is a tube axial fan with propeller-style blades. Our fans all use aluminum blades that are best for fire safety because they don’t spark. Non-sparking fans are important for paint booths because most paints and other finishing products are flammable.
