- How much painting do you do and how often?
- What space inside your facility do you have to work with?
- Is it important to have a booth that meets all regulatory requirements?
- Would you benefit from but have budget limitations?
Cross Flow Paint Booths
In a cross flow paint booth, fresh air enters in through the unit doors in the entry and exhausted though the opposite end of the booth using a filter system. Cross Flow paint 
booths are the most used style of booth for the automotive and truck industry as they are a very economic solution for most all local codes. Since the flow of air comes from the front and not the ceiling, the booth is manufactured without the upper plenum. This reduces the amount of materials needed to construct the booth. As the leading American spray booth manufacturer, Marathon is able to provide custom spray booth solution, deliver them and install them. We also provide support and maintenance.
Side Downdraft Paint Booth
A side downdraft or side draft paint booth has air flow from the ceiling and exhausts the air from the walls. The ceiling provides a double set of filters for fresh air and most of air is exhausted through the entire length of the booth’s walls. This type of paint booth provides a very even flow of air around the object and pulls overspray away from the finish to allow for an easy paint application with the least chance for surface contamination. The biggest disadvantage, as you might expect, is that it is the most expensive form of paint booth.
Open Face Paint Booths
An open face paint booth is a very affordable and the most popular styles of paint booth. It draws air from the open front and then exhausts through filters in the back wall. As you might expect, it requies the least amount of materials to construct. A downside is that since the source of the air is not filtered, it allows contaminants to flow around the object being painted.
Semi Downdraft Paint Booths
The Semi Downdraft style of paint booth is another of the more controlled environments that provide great air flow removing contaminants and pulling over spray away from the object being painted. Air is doubled filtered as it enters thru the ceiling in the front of the booth. It is drawn thru the booth to the rear corners and filtered as it is exhausted. This style booth is also more expensive as it requires an upper plenum but the results are well worth the little extra cost.
Reverse Flow Paint Booths
A reverse flow paint booth is one of the favorite styles of environments for professional shops. It provides one of the best air filtration as it is done at the front (entrance to the booth) which sucks any dust that might enter the booth when the doors are open. The filtered air enters from the rear walls. This is an excellent system for the best finishes.
