In order to keep your spray booth operating at maximum efficiency and peak performance, it is essential to schedule and complete annual maintenance. Annual maintenance includes more than simply changing booth filters. While changing out filters is an important task, a complete cleaning of your booth ensures that all mechanics are operating properly, which in turn ensures that all operating systems are available when needed. Construction 1, RFC approaches booth cleaning with three main objectives: thoroughly clean both the inside and outside of the booth, ensure all mechanics are operating properly including computer systems, and make any necessary repairs.
Why should you make annual booth cleanings a priority? Booth mechanics become coated in paint and dust from normal use and when not properly cleaned, the quality of paintwork can be jeopardized. The presence of excess paint and dust on and in spray booth mechanics can cause:
· Weaken lighting within the spray booth cabin, resulting in paint imperfections;
· Weakened or unavailable features or modes of operation;
· Break down of mechanical motors causing extreme positive or negative pressure in
the booth cabin, resulting in recirculation doors blowing open or sealing shut;
· Motorized activators will fail prematurely, requiring replacement;
· Exhaust fans can become unbalanced causing unnatural vibrations, resulting in
weakened function or damage;
· Motors are forced to work harder resulting in higher electricity and operating costs.
While the life expectancy of a spray booth will vary depending on brand, a properly maintained Nova Verta Spray Booth will continue to operate successfully for approximately 30 years. Comparatively, a poorly maintained spray booth may loose the ability to operate certain modes or cease operating completely after only 15 years. Annual preventative maintenance ensures that your spray booth continues operating at peak performance, providing maximum efficiency for your body shop.
