The modernization of the painting chamber for agricultural machinery, aimed at equipping it with an active floor, begins with our designers calculating the size of the floor air ducts or determining the required pit depth for a specific chamber configuration. Based on these calculations, a technical specification is developed, detailing the exhaust channels’ shape, depth, and cross-section of the air ducts. Sometimes, the existing ducts prior to modernization are insufficient for the efficient operation of the new active floor. We also evaluate the calculated power and performance of the existing exhaust hood to determine if it can handle its new tasks.
Customized Floor Modernization for Every Customer
Every floor modernization is tailored individually to the customer’s needs. We consider all nuances in designing this type of exhaust system, including:
- Number, Depth, and Location of Exhaust Ducts: If large objects are placed in the center of your painting chamber, a design with two exhaust ducts on the sides is ideal. For multiple parts spread across the chamber, a shallower pit covering the entire active floor area is more suitable.
- Direction of Floor Grates: The grate orientation is crucial. If trolleys or supports with small wheels are used, they can get stuck in the grates. The grate direction should be perpendicular to the trolley’s route to prevent this.
- Additional Exhaust Equipment or Modernization: For the active floor to function optimally, an exhaust system capable of removing paint particles and spray mist from a large filter surface is required, overcoming filter resistance.
- Additional Supply Equipment or Modernization: With an active floor, extraction becomes more productive, requiring upgrades to supply equipment. Without this, chamber pressure may drop. To stabilize pressure and enhance air exchange, we replace the intake fan and, if needed, the inlet cabinet motor.
Benefits of an Active Paint Floor
The active paint floor efficiently removes mist from materials like paint, primer, and varnish. Its primary goal is to prevent mist from rising to the painter’s respiratory level, instead absorbing it directly into the floor. This results in cleaner, higher-quality paint coatings and safer working conditions, boosting painter efficiency.
Modernizing your paint chamber floor provides an exhaust hood that ensures safe working conditions and superior work quality.
Active Paint Floor for Garage Use
The active paint floor can also serve as an exhaust hood for a painting chamber in your garage. For a modest cost, you get a solution comparable to professional spray booth hoods. To achieve this, we calculate the fresh air plenum to deliver air into your garage painting chamber and determine the desired air exchange rate.
