Open Face Paint Booths
Open Front Paint Booths
Open front, also known as open-faced paint booths, are available in a wide range of configurations to meet virtually any production requirement. From aircraft components and industrial parts to doors, cabinets, and other small products, these booths remain one of the most versatile finishing solutions in the industry.
These floor-model booths are designed primarily for batch production. Clean air enters through the open front, moves across the parts being coated, and is drawn toward an exhaust filter bank at the rear of the booth. Dry exhaust arrestor filters capture overspray particles before filtered air is discharged through the exhaust duct system.
Designed for Flexible Production
Open front paint booths are available in numerous sizes and configurations, making them suitable for a variety of finishing applications. Many floor-model designs feature an integrated work table, providing a convenient surface for placing parts during the finishing process. This makes them particularly useful for small-part production, maintenance departments, and batch finishing operations.
Open-front paint booths can be modified to accommodate conveyor openings for production lines or crane-slot openings for handling large equipment.
It is important to understand that adding these openings changes the way air moves through the booth. Because a paint booth relies on controlled airflow to safely capture and remove overspray and vapors, the required CFM may need to be increased or adjusted when conveyor or crane openings are added.
Our engineering team evaluates the size and location of these openings, along with the overall booth design and application, to determine the airflow required to maintain proper booth performance and meet applicable code requirements.
For more specialized applications, custom-engineered enclosures can also be designed around unique part sizes, material-handling systems, and production processes.
Optional equipment can include heated air replacement units, intake chambers, and airflow controls. These additions can help provide better environmental control and allow airflow to be adjusted for applications such as automated spraying.
Standard Models Available
We offer a variety of standard open front paint booth models designed for quick delivery and installation.

FAQs
What is an Open-Face or Open Front paint booth?
An open-face paint booth is a three-sided spray enclosure with an open front and a filtered exhaust chamber at the rear. Air is drawn through the open front, across the product and into dry exhaust filters that capture airborne overspray before the filtered air is discharged through the exhaust duct system and out of the building.
What are Open-Face paint booths used for?
Open-face paint booths are commonly used for painting small parts, furniture, cabinets, fabricated components and products moved by conveyor. They are well suited for batch production, maintenance departments and manufacturing operations that need convenient product access without full booth doors.
Does an Open-Front paint booth need an exhaust system?
Yes. An open-front spray booth requires properly sized exhaust fans, filters and ductwork to maintain airflow and contain overspray. Airflow requirements depend on the booth opening, coating material and application method. Heated replacement air or an intake chamber can also be added when temperature or building pressure must be controlled.
Can an Open-Face paint booth be customized?
Yes. Open-face booths can be built in custom widths, heights and depths to fit specific parts and production requirements. Available options include conveyor or crane openings, control panels, LED lighting, exhaust duct packages, intake chambers and heated air-replacement systems which are normally called building dump units. Conveyor openings may be incorporated into the booth design when the CFM is adjusted to accommodate them.
