Accudraft’s recent project helped them establish themselves as the leader in industrial finishing systems and paint booths. Together with Los Angeles Metro Rail, Accudraft was able to complete one of their largest and most impressive projects − a massive train finishing station in the middle of the Mojave Desert, in Palmdale, California.
A One-of-a-Kind Project
In order to meet the unique needs of the Los Angeles Metro Rail project, Accudraft had to custom build a spray booth system that was able to handle heavy equipment. They built 110’ paint and blast booths using downdraft technology. The project called for a total of five finishing stations, each with three-axis integrated lift systems. Ultimately, the finished product was able to efficiently produce beautifully painted rail cars.
Accudraft Paint Booths Accommodate All Sizes
To begin with, Accudraft had to overcome some challenges in order to complete the Los Angeles Metro Rail project. They were tasked with designing an efficient paint and finishing system that was able to deliver quality work in a timely manner. Fortunately, Accudraft had already developed large capacity paint booths that were able to accommodate mammoth objects like big-rig trucks, cranes, buses, and airplanes. This meant that they could easily meet the requirements of the LA Metro Rail project without having to engineer a new type of booth from scratch.
Accudraft’s industrial paint booths come with all of the top-of-the-line features that their automobile booths have – the only difference is that the industrial paint booths are much larger and can accommodate heavier workloads.
Have a Work Station Designed Specifically for You
The LA Metro Rail project required custom built heavy-duty paint booths that fit the client’s unique needs. When creating industrial paint booths, Accudraft understands that different clients have different requirements.
Accudraft is happy to custom build paint booths in order to ensure each industrial workshop meets their clients’ needs. Every workstation is carefully designed to fit the client’s product, so that the paint booths are not too big or too small. This consideration and attention to detail is how Accudraft was able to build a massive workshop that met LA Metro Rail’s heavy workload without sacrificing quality.
Accudraft’s Industrial Paint Booths Can Do It All
When it comes to painting large vehicles, the TX™ Series truck paint booth checks all the boxes. This industrial strength paint booth is designed to meet the needs of traveling governments and private companies with large vehicles. With all industrial paint booths, the TX™ Series paint booth can be modified for bigger objects. Most of all, its standard model comes with the ability to accommodate the following equipment:
- Heavy construction equipment
- Big-rig trucks and trailers
- Buses
- Rail cars and subways
- RVs
- Trolleys
- Tanks
There is an Accudraft booth available for all types of heavy machinery.
Efficiency Is Essential
In order to ensure that the demands of large projects are met, industrial paint booths need to be designed in a way that reduces energy consumption while increasing productivity rates.
All TX™ Series truck paint booths maximize efficiency and maintain a consistent standard of excellence. For the Los Angeles Metro Rail project, Accudraft employed a downdraft airflow system that distributed paint evenly without any overspray. Clients who are unable to install downdraft systems can choose to have their TX™ Series paint booth use a modified downdraft or crossflow.
Other highlights that make the TX™ Series truck paint booth the ideal chose for large equipment include:
- The EnergySmart™ VFD system, which can reduce the money spent on energy by as much as 50%.
- Customized airflow systems designed for specific projects.
- State-of-the-art dual skin lining that uses Accudraft Blu™ technology.
- A custom natural gas heating system that provides full recirculation.
- The ability to automate functions and fully customize the spray booth’s processes with SmartPad™ technology.
Furthermore, industrial paint booths are modifiable for specific needs. They can be fitted with advanced air jets, scaffolding and personnel lift systems, and drive-thru doors.
