Automotive Refinishing Spray Paint Booths – Side Down Draft

Marathon’s Automotive Paint Booths
Side Down Draft Series spray booths are designed to be a premium down draft finishing solution for high-end finishes, but without the added cost of having a pit or raised basement. Can be ordered with a Spray & Cure Heater or without.

Automotive Side Down Draft Breakout

The automotive side down draft paint booths are designed so the air enters through the ceiling intake filters and moves vertically, from the top of the booth to the bottom of the booth, enveloping the vehicle with clean, filtered air. Overspray from the painting process is then pulled down and AWAY from the vehicle and operator and captured by the exhaust filters at floor level that run along both walls of the spray booth.

Why choose this Marathon side down draft paint booth over one from our competition?

4. It’s all about the lights! We deisgn our all of our booths with horizontal lighting fixtures (where possible), to help eliminate shadows.

5. We use only “Inspection Grade” LDPI, Inc. brand light fixtures made in the U.S.A. for spray booth applications.

6. Our Spray & Cure heat systems are manufactured in the U.S.A. Energy Efficient and “LISTED” for compliance.

7. All of Marathons products are manufactured with “Top Brand Name” components, made in the U.S.A.

Marathon sets the Benchmark every year with new product releases and smart booth designs, all for an honest price! This is what you can expect from Marathon Finishing Systems.

AIR FLOW
Intake:
Outside air enters through filters mounted in the ceiling, then travels through the work area. This type of design does allow for the addition of an Air Make Up unit (AMU), so heating (and/or cooling) are available options. The air travels vertically (down draft) through the booth.

Exhaust: Once the air has traveled the height of the booth, the overspray and particulates are removed by the exhaust filters along the bottom edge of the side walls before exiting the booth. Marathon uses standard size intake and exhaust filter media, readily available from most paint and refinishing suppliers.
