Doors/Frontals:  Booth includes a double skin door assembly that is pre-hung.  The door-jamb and header assembly is constructed from 12 and 14 gauge steel tubing.  The doors are hung using premium 6”x6” hinges.  The internal door support system is made of 12, 16, and 18 gauge aluminized or G90 galvanized steel.  The doors utilize and ventilated outer skin connected to an interior “splash plate” via adjustable stand-offs.  The design allows significant airflow into the booth while preventing the escape of blasting media from the enclosure.

Lighting:  Booth lights mount near the connection of the wall and roof in alternating panels.  The blast enclosure includes 12 roof mounted light fixtures each designed to accommodate four 40-watt T-12 bulbs.  These fixtures are mounted on special panels that include factory provided reinforcement.  Each light fixture is mounted in place over a sheet of tempered safety glass that is sealed in place and all light fixtures are only accessible from the booth’s exterior.

Exhaust Unit (dust abatement):  The exhaust system utilizes two 16” tube axial fans to draw air through the booth enclosure and return it to the shop atmosphere or discharge it outside the shop environment.  The exhaust unit uses a tackified polyester composite blanket-type prefilter.  The customer may choose to have the exhaust discharged to the outside atmosphere or may opt to add a set of HEPA type filters to remove particulate matter before returning exhaust air to the shop atmosphere.  The exhaust unit is designed to draw air from the rearmost ceiling section of the booth, resulting in semi-updraft airflow.  This technique eliminates small particles in the air without disturbing heavier airborne matter that results from the stripping process. 

Exhaust Unit (reclaim unit):  The exhaust unit is constructed primarily of 16 gauge and 18 gauge aluminized or G90 galvanized U.S. prime steel.  The exhaust system utilizes a 22” dual inlet forward curved fan or a 42” tube axial fan and includes a three-stage filter system.  This allows the media to be drawn through the rear wall of the booth enclosure, classify it by particle size, discharge it into a bin, and return the shop air to the shop atmosphere after it has been filtered.  The exhaust unit uses polyester pocket-type intermediate filters and a set of true HEPA final filters with integrated metal housings. The exhaust unit is designed to draw air from the base of one wall at the rear of the booth, resulting in semi-downdraft airflow.

Controls:  The booth is operated via a simple control panel.  The control panel allows the operator to stop and start the dust abatement exhaust fan and turn the lights on and off.  The control panel includes over-current protection.  When optional reclaim system is provided, the controls also operate the reclamation fan.
