Spray booth???? - Plating Powder Coating Buffing Anodizing

JeffL · #1 (**permalink**) 03-24-2007, 09:09 PM

Thinking of building a little spray booth.It will only be big enough to hold a motorcycle wheel. Will a couple of bathroom vent fans be good to draw the powder away from the parts?Or is there a better fan to use?

Powder is flammable and explosive. Make sure your fan motors are isolated from the flow of the powder, not in direct path. I plan on using a squirrel cage type, with the motor outside of and Isolated from the powder flow.

I planned on mounting fans on the outside of booth,(1 on each side) with filters on the inside.I figured that filters would trap the powder , keeping it from going through the fans, & blowing around the room.Would this be correct?

Filters will catch most. The only probem with powder is when it's in a high concentration dust cloud. So, filtering most of the cloud should be fine
