Industrial manufacturers have a wide array of requirements to fulfil when integrating spray booths into their production line. In such a scenario, procuring a standard paint spray booth isn’t the right option.
As one of the leading bespoke industrial spray booth suppliers in Australia, DRYSYS designs and constructs industrial spray booths, which are fully integrated in to their production line and include supervisory management systems.
Our team of engineers and project managers are skilled professionals who consider details like the throughput and capability of your facility, production processes, the quality of finishing required on the products, and the level of automation required, before proposing potential spray booth designs.
Industrial spray booths can be provided for continuous, batching or indexing production lines with our high capacity paint multi-stage dry filter scrubbing system (DRY-Q); conventional flooded floor wet scrubbing, temperature and humidity controlled air conditions; true downdraft airflow; robotic and manual applications; and fully integrated PLC-HMI control systems. The booths are robust in their construction and the folded sheetmetal wall panels are easy to clean. The walls can also incorporate full length viewing windows.
DRY-Q paint scrubbing - A modular multi-stage dry filtering system
Overspray is unavoidable – even advanced application technologies cannot eliminate overspray. In manufacturing environments, the high volume of paint overspray becomes a daily maintenance issue with the standard spray booths available in Australian. These booths are typically tailored towards paint re-finishers / repairers dealing with lower paint volumes and have insufficient dry exhaust filtering capacity for manufacturing. This leads to the exhaust filters being changed constantly.
Manufacturers therefore require more effective methods to remove and collect greater volumes of paint overspray. DRYSYS’ DRY-Q, a modular multi-stage dry filter system, is an efficient, environmentally friendly alternative specifically designed for manufacturers and high-volume paint users.
DRY-Q is based around disposable cardboard filters and can be used for new spray booths and retrofitted to many existing manufacturing type spray booths. The filter modules are installed below the spray booth floor grating. Supply air is drawn centrally down over the product, collecting paint overspray particles as it travels downwards, and passes through the floor grating. It then passes through multi-stage filter modules, evenly spaced in the booth’s sub-floor, where the paint particles are removed from the air.
The multi-stage filtering guarantees a high removal rate. In many spray booth applications, DRY-Q makes it possible to recirculate a large portion of the filtered exhaust air, providing substantial capital and operating cost reductions, especially where the supply air is temperature and humidity controlled.
Also, where the filters around the paint application point (such as robots) or product becomes dirty more quickly, replacement filter modules can be ‘staged’ and the dirty filter modules can be changed out quickly and independently during a production break.
DRY-Q Key features:
-
State-of-art electrical control system operates the painting and booth processes, improves efficiency, and lowers costs by utilising technologies such as PLCs, SCADA, and HMIs. This helps reduce human intervention, improve energy consumption, maintenance, and production output.
-
The DRY-Q has a high overspray holding capacity, which results in significantly less frequent exhaust filter replacements. The holding capacity can be increased by adding additional dry filter modules, while each filter module can be quickly replaced independently.
-
Our manufacturing spray booths are true downdraft booths, drawing air down centrally over the product, rather than towards the bottom corner of the side walls, as is regularly seen in spray booths throughout Australia.
-
Due to the amount of paint used in a manufacturing environment, manufacturing booths frequently require airflows greater than the minimum allowed by AS4114 to effectively capture and remove overspray. Our manufacturing booths can be supplied with downdrafts from 0.25m/s and above.
-
Highly filtered, temperature- and humidity-controlled supply air can be introduced to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the paint application process.
-
In many spray booth applications, the DRY-Q modular dry filtering system allows the filtered exhaust air to be recirculated, providing substantial capital and operating cost reductions.
-
The manufacturing spray booths are robustly constructed from folded sheetmetal panels (galvanised or stainless steel) and a modular steel support system. The booth walls incorporate full length viewing windows and are easily cleaned.
-
DRY-Q can also be retro-fitted to many existing wet floor type spray booths.
Conventional flooded floor Impact wet scrubbing spray booths
DRYSYS is also the only company in Australia that has the knowhow and technology to provide wet scrubbing booths suitable for high volume paint users. We specialise in custom built flooded floor impact wet scrubbing spray booths, widely used throughout the automotive manufacturing industry, to remove paint over spray.
These systems include humidity and temperature controlled air supply, booth enclosures with glass walls, underfloor impact wet scrubbing, sludge separation and sludge removal, and a complete PLC/SCADA based control system.
