Dry
Back Spray Booth Including Extended Canopy
A Rolls Royce company our client
manufactures gearboxes for turbine engines. At the time we were
first contacted by the company a growing part of their business
was the re-conditioning of old units. A section within the factory
had been designated to house a new cell. This cell would contain
the surface finishing equipment, blast and paint, required to bring
this element of the re-working in-house and under their control.
Previously the paint process had been done in a remote over utilized
paint shop elsewhere in the factory.

As the utilization of the proposed paint facility
was to be low and required no force drying Airblast proposed a dry
back booth rather than the more expensive wet back option (Wet back
facilities are more commonly utilized in production environments
when the more expensive initial outlay of the wet back can be realistically
offset against the cost of replacement filter cartridges on dry
back units). The customer had local existing electrical fittings
that were not compliant with HSE guidance for those within range
of paint spray application. To counter this an extended canopy was
installed.
