5 WAYS TO KEEP YOUR PAINT BOOTH CLEAN & OPERATING IN PEAK CONDITION

Proper cleaning and maintenance methods in your paint booth help promote
higher-quality paint jobs, reduce rework and contribute to longer-lasting parts
and components. They are also critical for the protection of your employees and
facility. With spring cleaning now top of mind, here are the top five things you
can do to protect your paint booth and keep your finishing equipment running
efficiently:


1.ESTABLISH A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Global Finishing Solutions (GFS) or your local distributor offers preventative
maintenance and service programs to ensure your paint booth stays in peak
condition, in addition to saving your business time, hassle and costly repairs
down the road. Customized to your needs, these programs may include just-in-time
filter replenishment and replacement, paint booth cleaning, peelable booth
coating application, complete diagnostic checks, and emergency service. Weekend
and after-hours service are options to fit within your shop’s schedule and
reduce downtime. A maintenance schedule provides guidelines for how often to
inspect, clean and replace key components of your paint booth, such as intake
and exhaust filters. While some components should be inspected and cleaned
daily, others may require only an annual inspection, depending on your paint
booth usage.



2. REGULARLY CHANGE PAINT BOOTH FILTERS

Replacing intake and exhaust filters on a routine basis is one of the simplest
things you can do for the cleanliness and overall productivity of your paint
booth. Proper airflow can be hindered by clogged or overloaded filters, causing
dust or overspray to recirculate and affecting the finish of your paint job. The
likelihood of equipment failure is decreased by regularly changing your booth’s
filters, in addition to helping ensure your booth is operating efficiently and
keeping the production costs of your shop low. To measure a pressure
differential, a manometer indicates when paint booth filters are loaded and need
replacement. By monitoring the filters with your manometer, painters and service
personnel know when it is time to change the filters. If your booth lacks a
differential pressure gauge, a strict maintenance schedule should be established
based on the time spent spraying in the booth.
Perhaps the most common maintenance mistake made by shops is not following the
filter changeout schedule specified by their paint booth manufacturer. While
your booth’s exhaust filters should be changed every 100 operating hours or
every three to four work weeks, each paint operation is different, which may
require changing exhaust media more frequently.




3.PROTECT YOUR PAINT BOOTH WALLS WITH STRIPPABLE COATINGS

Strippable paint booth coatings offer outstanding coverage to protect your
equipment, shop and employees, making it is easy to keep the walls of your booth
clean. While temporary, strippable booth coatings keep your paint booth cleaner,
they also help your booth last longer. Since white walls are more reflective to
create a brighter spraying environment, strippable coatings boost visibility and
aid in precise paint application. Lasting as many as 700 booth cycles, Booth
Shield reduces rework and decreases the frequency of cleaning required for your
booth.




4.USE A PROTECTIVE FLOOR COVERING IN YOUR PAINT BOOTH

It is simple to install and peels up easily for quick change-outs. Plus,
sweeping or vacuuming the PIG Grippy Mat is enough to remove overspray, dust and
debris, saving the hassle of scraping or using chemicals on the floor of your
booth. The PIG Grippy Mat can last up to three months, depending on the amount
of overspray and cleaning — durable enough to withstand foot and vehicle
traffic. The padding on the PIG Grippy Mat makes standing and kneeling more
comfortable, while reducing noise. The bright gray color of the PIG Grippy Mat
also helps evenly distribute light and eliminates shadows and reflections on
paint jobs.




5.ACTIVATE SUMMER/WINTER MODE ON YOUR AMU

To ensure consistency for both spraying and curing, in addition to increasing
efficiency and reducing rework, the temperature in your paint booth should be
regulated, regardless of the temperatures outside.  So even as the seasons
change, some of the problems associated with frequent temperature fluctuations
are eliminated, keeping your finishing operation running smoothly. Summer mode
on GFS control panels should be turned on in the spring, usually in April, when
cool mornings can give way to warm afternoons. The switch to winter mode is best
in the fall, typically in October, when the weather is perhaps the most
unpredictable.
With summer mode activated, the burner on the paint booth heater remains off
when the booth is in spray mode. For winter mode, the burner turns on in spray
mode, providing heat and humidity control to the booth. A 10-degree bump above
ambient temperature is attainable with the burner on — especially helpful for
working on temperature-sensitive products. Already having the burner on is also
a time saver when it comes time to cure.
