Products Service & Maintenance

Global Finishing Solutions makes a commitment to every customer that our relationship doesn’t stop once the product has been installed. GFS offers many options for Service and Maintenance to ensure that all GFS products operate at peak efficiency. GFS also offers customized service plans for the unique needs of each and every customer. Our desire is that each piece of GFS equipment perform above and beyond expectations from the moment it is switched on, and continues to do so for many years in to the future.

Service and maintenance programs are available to all GFS customers, large and small, and can include filter changes, booth cleaning, replacement components, control panel programming, end-user training and more. Serivce and maintenance is available from GFS directly, as well as from our extensive network of qualified distributors all over North America. No matter where your business is located, you can be sure that GFS assistance is just a phone call away.

Service technicians utilize the latest tools for measuring and analyzing airflow, lighting, heat, electrical and gas performance to ensure that all GFS equipment is operating properly and within the guidelines put forth by all applicable regulatory organizations such as ETL, NFPA and UL.

Preventive maintenance can be defined as a program in which wear, tear and change are anticipated, and continuous corrective actions are taken to ensure peak efficiency and performance, as well as minimizing premature deterioration and downtime by correcting minor problems before they become major repairs. A detailed service record is instrumental in tracking booth performance. A service report baseline of booth performance can be established as all of the critical set points and readings are recorded.

Preventive maintenance involves a planned and controlled program of systematic inspections, adjustment, lubrication and replacement of components, as well as extensive performance testing and analysis. However, we realize that equipment grows old, uses change and techniques vary. Our experienced staff takes these circumstances into consideration so an effective maintenance program is performed to keep your equipment running safely and efficiently.

The Program

Servicing Packages
Tailored to meet your needs, service engineers will provide maintenance and cleaning to ensure that your equipment maintains optimal performance. The program can include anything from the general maintenance of the booth to cleaning, and the replacement of filters.

Filter Packages
The key to optimal spraybooth performance is the regular monitoring and changing of filters. GFS can supply flexible filter packages that will accommodate all types of spray booths. Based on your projected demands, GFS will provide scheduled “just-in-time” delivery, reducing your management time and storage space needs, while keeping your booth running efficiently and providing superior finishes!

Periodic Assessments
Complying with health and safety regulations is very important to your business. Our service engineers will assess your equipment to help you avoid costly down times and keep your operation running smoothly.

The Benefit

Reduced Operating Costs
GFS’ Preventive Maintenance program helps keep fuel costs down by maintaining a paintbooth that is clean and runs at its optimum performance all year long. The program also provides regularly scheduled maintenance visits that will result in a reduction of emergency service calls throughout the year, therefore reducing the amount of down time and increasing productivity.

Improved Quality Finishes
Poorly maintained spray booths are usually full of contaminants and do not produce a good quality finish. Scheduled filter changes along with preventive maintenance will maintain quality and reduce costly repaints.

Complete Service
GFS Technicians can provide services for spray booths, paint booths, large equipment and large vehicle booths, body shop refinishing spray booths, finishing systems, aviation paint booths and industrial finishing equipment, including ovens and washers.
