Types of Military and Defense Booths
Military and defense booths are critical for painting, coating, and finishing equipment, vehicles, and components designed for rigorous use in defense applications. These booths are tailored to meet the demands of safety, durability, and precision in military operations. Below is a breakdown of the various booth types and their specific applications.
1. Crossflow Military and Defense Booths
Overview:
Crossflow booths utilize horizontal airflow, providing effective ventilation for large-scale military projects.
Key Features:
- Airflow Direction: Air enters through filters on one side and exits through an exhaust system on the opposite side, ensuring consistent airflow.
- Filtration System: Multi-layer filters capture overspray and particulates, maintaining clean work environments that meet military standards.
- Space Utilization: Designed to accommodate large vehicles and equipment without obstructions.
Examples in Military Settings:
- Vehicle Coating: Applies durable finishes to military trucks and armored vehicles for enhanced protection.
- Ammunition Storage Containers: Provides corrosion-resistant coatings for secure storage solutions.
2. Side Downdraft Military and Defense Booths
Overview:
Side downdraft booths feature a top-to-side airflow system, creating a clean and controlled workspace for defense projects.
Key Features:
- Airflow Direction: Air enters from the ceiling and is drawn down to side-mounted exhaust filters.
- Side Exhaust System: Efficiently captures particulates and fumes, crucial for safety in military settings.
- Enhanced Visibility: Clear sightlines improve precision during coating and assembly tasks.
Examples in Military Settings:
- Helicopter Components: Ensures high-quality coatings for helicopter parts to withstand extreme environments.
- Weapon Systems: Protects weapon systems with wear- and corrosion-resistant finishes.
3. Downdraft Military and Defense Booths
Overview:
Downdraft booths utilize vertical airflow to create contaminant-free zones for large military projects.
Key Features:
- Airflow Direction: Draws air straight down into floor-based filtration systems.
- Floor Filtration: Simplifies cleanup while minimizing hazards in demanding environments.
- Large Capacity: Accommodates large vehicles and components, ideal for military applications.
Examples in Military Settings:
- Armored Vehicle Finishing: Provides resilient coatings for armored vehicles to endure harsh conditions.
- Satellite Components: Delivers precise coatings for defense satellites and related equipment.
4. Semi-Downdraft Military and Defense Booths
Overview:
Semi-downdraft booths combine vertical and side airflow, offering a versatile solution for military manufacturing and repair.
Key Features:
- Airflow Direction: Balanced ventilation from the ceiling and sides ensures a clean workspace.
- Dual Filtration: Overhead and side filters maximize contaminant capture.
- Versatile Design: Adapts to a variety of defense industry needs.
Examples in Military Settings:
- Drone Manufacturing: Delivers lightweight and protective finishes for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
- Combat Gear Coating: Applies durable coatings to combat equipment for enhanced longevity and performance.
5. Vertical Downdraft Military and Defense Booths
Overview:
Vertical downdraft booths are compact and designed for precision work on smaller military components.
Key Features:
- Airflow Direction: Tailored airflow for vertical surfaces and detailed tasks.
- Targeted Filtration: Effectively captures particulates during intricate work.
- Compact Design: Suitable for smaller workshops without sacrificing performance.
Examples in Military Settings:

Meticulous Engineering & Product Development
The durability and excellence of PFS offerings stem from meticulous engineering and ongoing product advancement. Our dedicated in-house team, comprising electrical engineers, software developers, structural engineers, airflow experts, and system designers, collaborates with you to tailor the perfect solution for your specific needs. We have completed several contracts ranging from large aviation booths, to small parts booths.
Design and Construction
At PFS, all our military & defense paint booths are crafted from durable 18GA galvanized steel and precision-machined using CNC equipment. This ensures a perfect fit and finish, accompanied by straightforward assembly instructions. Our booths feature a hassle-free assembly process with nut, bolt, and self-tapper components for easy installation.
Moreover, our paint booths undergo a powder coating process, making them resistant to corrosion and UV damage. This not only enhances durability but also results in a brilliant white finish, improving visibility both inside and outside the booth.
Quality Products
All our spray booths are proudly crafted in-house at our Santa Rosa, CA facility. We oversee every step of the manufacturing process, guaranteeing the industry’s finest spray booth quality at competitive prices. Each element of your booth is meticulously designed and tailored to precise specifications.
What’s more, we hold ETL listings and approvals across all jurisdictions, streamlining the approval process and ensuring a faster return on investment (ROI)
Air Filtration
PFS employs a cutting-edge “high-velocity” exhaust system, which is enhanced by fiberglass exhaust filters to create a pristine, dust-free environment. Every booth we ship comes equipped with standard 20×20 heavy-duty fiberglass exhaust filters or rolls, and tacky intake filters/ intake blankets
Fans and Motors
PFS fan and motor packages are sourced from the renowned U.S. manufacturer Grainger’s. These packages are proudly U.S. manufactured and boast AMCA certification, spark-resistant aluminum blades, and high-efficiency 3-phase and 1-phase motors with 208/230/460v compatibility.
Our belt-driven tube axial fans feature a streamlined belt tunnel that draws in outside air to ventilate the drive compartment efficiently. The steel housing undergoes an iron phosphate process for rust protection and is finished with a durable acrylic epoxy paint. The factory-installed cast-iron sheave is directly assembled on the fan shaft. When you order the complete fan with drive package, motors and belts are packed separately.
Rest assured, these fan and motor packages are engineered for exceptional longevity, surpassing any other combination in the market.
