Installing a paint drying room is a necessary step for any business that paints or coats large objects, such as vehicles and machinery, or large volumes of smaller items, such as parts, products or cabinetry. An efficient paint drying room can help you increase productivity in your industrial painting business and ensure a high-quality finish.
Here, we’ll take a look at drying systems, and what things are important to consider before purchasing one. In this guide, we cover what a drying room is, why you need one, and some tips for choosing the right system for your business.
What is a paint drying room?
A drying room, also known as a drying booth, is a specially designed controlled environment used for drying and curing items that have been wet-sprayed.. Humidity levels in a drying room are tightly controlled and warm air is used to dry fresh paint quickly and efficiently.
Why you need a drying booth
Most industrial paint shops and manufacturers rely on drying booths to provide a space in which the paint drying process can happen efficiently and safely. Having dedicated paint drying systems in place helps business owners increase their output and ensure the quality of finished products. A paint drying room achieves this by maintaining a balance between ample drying time and proper heat distribution. Drying times can be increased by up to 50%.
How to choose the best drying room for your business
Choosing the best paint drying setup for your industrial painting business is an important step. You may be eager to increase productivity, but taking the time and choosing wisely is paramount.
There are several things to consider when choosing a paint drying system and the features you want. Think about things like budget, space, needed features, things to avoid, and efficiency. Here are 3 things to keep in mind when shopping for your paint drying room and drying system.
1. Stick to your budget
Drying booth pricing varies. The final cost of your drying room will depend on the type, size, quality of materials, and which features you want included.
It’s always a good idea to stay within your budget. Arrive at a workable figure, and stick with it. Shop around and look for a drying room that has the features you need for your business, and then purchase one that fits your budget.
2. Consider the size of your drying room
Drying rooms come in many sizes, so it is important to get a size that best suits your business needs. Think about the physical space of your business, and how large your drying room needs to be. How much space will you need for the objects to dry effectively? How much room will the paint drying system take?
3. Consider features you want for your drying booth
Drying booths can be customised to your specific size and temperature requirements. It is also possible to have access adapted to suit your business needs.
Choose a full-coverage drying system
A good drying system will keep wet spots on the paint to a minimum. In order to prevent wet spots, a drying system needs to distribute heat and air evenly around the painted object. This method of drying works especially well for large objects, like vehicles.
