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.

That looks like one of Teds ovens...
Welcome to the mad group of coaters,
Don't let it take over from the cutting!

I got a couple of the walls built and painted this morning. I hope they dry by this evening so i can stand them up. I put a fan pic up i will be using 2-20x20x1 filters more to come.

Got 2 walls up and got the last wall built i just have to cut the opening for the filters then paint it and stand it up. Then start on the top then get the fan 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...

THanks dano, i have seen a few people do it and i think i will also. I have some extra sheet metal from the build that i can use.

I did a little work this morning. I need to go pick up some more stuff to finish it, lights and some more electrical boxes and silicone.

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

wickedinhere · Post by **wickedinhere** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 2:27 pm

THis is the powder coating booth only, this should cut down on alot of my painting but i will still do some painting.
Heres my filter setup i ended up 4 foot short on my 2x4 count.LOL

What cfm is your fan and where did you get it, your set up is looking good and has me thinking! Thanks for the posts

wickedinhere · Post by **wickedinhere** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:40 pm

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.

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.
Humbly,
Loyd
