ECO Expert
Recirculating Downdraft Paint Booth


The ECO Expert is designed for waterborne body shops demanding affordability, but refusing to compromise on performance when it comes to waterborne coatings. ECO Expert is a premium downdraft paint booth custom-configured to accommodate the stringent requirements of high-performance waterborne coatings. The ECO Expert features include: dual-skin insulated construction, SmartCure control panel, CAF ceiling with optimized downdraft airflow, angled ceiling lights, energy-efficient direct-fired heat system with VFD’s and Economy Mode, and AdvanceCure. These features make the ECO Expert a solid choice for shops looking to be one step ahead of new coating technologies.


Expert Cabin Specifications:

Internal: 14'w x 9'h x 24'
External: 14'5"w x 11'h x 24'5"l

Full downdraft airflow during spray and curing cycles through patented Controlled Air Flow ceiling with integrated angled light fixtures
- Main flow zone concentrates airflow in a protective curtain around the car
- Main flow zone effectively removes overspray from the paint booth
- Side flow zones circulate air away from the walls and lights
- Angled ceiling lights, wall lights, and available corner lights eliminate shadows for better overall illumination, especially during clear coat application

Dual skin insulated panel construction
- Smooth fit and finish give the spray booth an impressive overall appearance and minimize areas where overspray and dust could collect
- Insulated design reduces noise inside the spray booth and in the surrounding shop area
- Insulated design reduces ambient heat outside the spray booth

White pre-coated galvanized steel
- White coating diffuses light better than uncoated steel, reducing reflections and glare
- Weld-free construction prevents rusting and improves paint booth strength

Single- or three-row pit exhaust system or optional raised platform
- Pre-engineered pit design properly balances air flow
- Air is drawn more evenly over the vehicle and pit

Wide 10' heavy-duty, 3-wing entrance door with observation windows
- Large opening for easy entry to the spraybooth, heavy-duty hinges, solid construction
- Side access door with observation window, can be moved to accommodate different spray booth layouts

Twelve 6-tube inside-accessible ETL listed angled light fixtures with energy efficient electronic ballasts

Spray booth is designed to accept fire suppression system


Expert Recirculating Heat System

High-efficiency direct fired system with re-circulating cure mode
- Increases productivity by using a 'cure' cycle to provide faster and better finishes than air-drying
- Pressurizes the paint booth to reduce dust entry from the outside environment
User-friendly, solid state CureTronic PLC remote control panel with digital display

- Variable Frequency Drives (for smooth motor start-up to eliminate power spikes)

SmartCure accelerated curing system reduces cure times up to 50%
- Programmable paint profiles eliminates guesswork
- SmartCure technology automatically knows what temperature is needed, at what time, and for exactly how long

Direct-drive intake motor
- No belts or pulleys to maintain
- More efficient performance

Modular exhaust and intake unit

Fuelled by natural gas or propane

Multi-stage filtration system extends paint booth filter life
- Fresh air is filtered before heating
- Re-circulated air is filtered before re-entering the spray booth

Key-locked main control panel to prevent non-authorized access

ETL Listed Industrial Air Heater
-
12,000 CFM, 1.2 Million BTU
-Direct Fired Industrial Air Heater
-
Supply fan powered by 10 HP motor
-Exhaust fan powered by 7.5 HP motor

AdvanceCure Accelerated Airflow System:

Adding AdvanceCure to the interior of the booth vastly improves the productivity of the equipment. AdvanceCure introduces controlled turbulence into the paint booth during the flash-off and cure cycles to rapidly draw vapors out of the painted surfaces. This increased airflow dramatically reduces the amount of time required for each paint job, and in turn, increases the profitability of your body shop. AdvanceCure speeds curing of both solvent-based and waterborne paints, so you can be sure that your finishing operation will improve today, and well into the future.
