HOW IT WORKS

Choose Your Airflow Configuration

PFS outdoor booths are available in all four airflow configurations. Select the one that fits your facility, floor plan, and finishing requirements.

Cross-Flow (Orion) Horizontal airflow — no pit required

sprinter-van

Air enters through front-wall intake filters and exits through rear-wall exhaust filters. Horizontal front-to-rear airflow keeps overspray away from the operator. No pit required — the most cost-effective outdoor booth configuration.

Semi Downdraft (Orion) Ceiling intake, rear-wall exhaust — no pit

PFS ORION — SEMI-DOWNDRAFT

Air enters through ceiling intake filters at the front half and exhausts through rear-wall filters at floor level. No pit required. Better finish quality than cross-flow — ideal for automotive and fleet refinishing.

Side Downdraft (Helios) Ceiling intake, side-wall exhaust — no pit

side-downdraft-helios

Air enters through full ceiling intake filters and exhausts through side-wall fan plenums. No pit required — drop it on your existing concrete slab. Ideal for retrofit sites and leased facilities.

Full Downdraft (Zenith) Vertical ceiling-to-floor — concrete pit required

full-downdraft

Air enters through full-ceiling intake filters and exhausts through a grated floor pit into an underground duct. Concrete pit required. Highest finish quality available — overspray travels straight down and away from the vehicle surface.

BUYER’S GUIDE

Outdoor Paint Booths, Explained

A full spray booth in its own engineered steel building.

A complete spray booth housed in its own engineered steel building on a concrete pad. Instead of giving up floor space inside your shop, the booth, its filters, fans, lighting and controls live in a permanent structure outside, with its own doors and utilities.

  • Your building has no room for a booth, or the ceiling is too low
  • You lease the building and cannot cut roofs or floors
  • You need a second booth without stopping production
  • The parts are too big for any door you have
  • You want painting separated from welding, grinding and other trades

Plan for a level concrete pad sized to the booth plus door swing and clearances, electrical service for fans, lights and controls, gas if the booth is heated, and a path for vehicles or forklifts. PFS provides foundation loads and layout drawings for your engineer and contractor.

The outer structure is engineered for your site’s wind and snow loads. Heated air make-up keeps spraying and curing on schedule through cold weather, and the booth can be specified in galvanized or powder-coated steel for coastal or harsh climates.

An outdoor booth is a building as well as a spray booth, so expect a building permit along with fire and air-quality review. PFS supplies stamped structural information where required, NFPA 33 compliance documentation and equipment data for the permit set.

Start with one bay and add more later, or build a multi-bay finishing facility with booths, prep stations and a mixing room under one roof.
