Custom-built paint booth
A difficult building, an oversized part, a special process: we design the installation around your constraint.
Not every part fits in a standard booth, and not every building can take a standard layout. A custom-built paint booth starts from the real problem — an unusual length, a limited height, a heavy tonnage, a handling constraint — instead of starting from a format.
It is a large part of our business. Railway, marine, aerospace, large machinery, agricultural machinery, oversized parts: these sectors have no catalogue format.
How far we have gone
Rather than a sales limit, here are some completed projects. They are three different projects, each one pushing a particular dimension.
7 metres internal height
the greatest usable height we have built
60 metres long
our longest treatment line, designed as a tunnel rather than a single enclosure
16 metres wide
the greatest width we have built
When custom-built is the only option
Custom-built does not start at a given size. A booth of ordinary dimensions falls into this category as soon as the building or the handling calls for a specific design.
- The part exceeds the dimensions of standard booths, in length, width or height
- The building imposes a constraint: ceiling height, columns, a floor that cannot take civil engineering work
- Handling is special: overhead crane, conveyor, dedicated trolley
- The process calls for combined equipment — painting and curing, or painting built into a line
- The layout has to fit into an existing production flow without reorganising it
- The specifications require a particular filtration class or air velocity
How we go about it
The study starts from your most demanding parts, not the most common ones. It is the extreme case that determines the usable dimensions, the handling and the ventilation.
Then comes the building survey: floor area, height, structure, power supply, options for air discharge. Many projects are decided at this stage, and it is better to find out before the study than during installation.
We then propose a priced configuration, and handle manufacture, on-site installation and commissioning.
Sectors equipped
- Railway — rolling stock and sub-assemblies
- Marine — hulls, superstructures and large components
- Aerospace — high filtration requirements, up to F10
- Large machinery and agricultural machinery
- Trucks and special vehicles
- Mechanical engineering industry and oversized parts
- Joinery and interior fitting, for long parts
Frequently asked questions
From what size does a booth count as custom-built?
It is not a question of size but of fit. A booth of ordinary dimensions can count as custom-built if the building or the handling calls for a specific design. Conversely, a large booth can remain very close to a standard model.
What is the largest booth you have built?
Our records come from three separate projects: 7 metres internal height, 16 metres wide, and 60 metres long — the last one as a tunnel treatment line rather than a single enclosure. If your requirement is close to one of these values, it is very probably achievable.
Do you only work on very large projects?
No. Large projects show what we can do; they do not define our scope. An automotive booth of ordinary dimensions is handled by the same team, with the same design method.
Does custom-built cost much more?
Not necessarily. A poorly suited standard booth often costs more in use — in rework, handling and lost time — than a booth designed for your parts. Pricing is done after the study.
Can you integrate the booth into an existing line?
Yes. It is part of the design work: fitting into a production flow without forcing it to be reorganised.
Do you handle installation and commissioning?
Yes, from manufacture to commissioning, including handover to your teams. We also handle maintenance afterwards.
A constraint that nothing standard can solve?
Describe your parts and your building, and we will work out what can be done.
