Re: Expanding my setup
That is very nice. I have built 2 powder lines one was 1000' long and the other 500'. I am about to start one for myself and you are inspiring me to get started!! Keep us posted.

Re: Expanding my setup

Re: Expanding my setup
Lookin' good!'
Consider placing a metal shield over the exposed elements to block the infrared heat.
IR waves travel to and heat up a part faster then convection heat.
That will save the lower hanging parts from uneven temps/overheating.
Don't ask me how I know...

Re: Expanding my setup
Following your build, and I'm wondering, is this booth you're building a PAINT booth? Where you'll do the powder? Bob.

The fan is 1400cfm its on the small side(according to some people) but it pulls air pretty good. I got it at tractor supply its made by maxair 14 inch it comes with a shutter but i took it off.

Re: Expanding my setup
Wicked....you probably know this...powder is very explosive. You should use plexiglass over your lighting and keep any sparks away....even static electricity from your body can cause an explosion...your setup looks great and will work very well just please be aware. I am not an expert but we did use 120,000 lbs of paint a year in the booth we constructed. I think you will have enough airflow.
