Airframes, hulls and rolling stock need a chamber built for them, not a model they squeeze into
Made-to-measure chambers for large structures.
None of these sectors fit the automotive envelope: an airframe, a rail car or a yacht needs a chamber designed around it. Any attempt to adapt a stock model ends with a chamber the part cannot enter, or one whose ventilation cannot cope.
Operational challenges
What stalls production in this sector
Three challenges govern these sectors.
The structure exceeds any standard envelope
An aircraft wing, a rail car or a yacht hull exceeds the length, width and height of any stock model. Here the chamber is a design project, not a purchase line item.
Precision, reliability and documentation are acceptance conditions
These sectors run to strict approval and documentation standards. Equipment is judged on its ability to repeat the same result and evidence it, not on a peak figure.
Preparation and coating are two separate operations
Preparation, stripping and inspection precede coating, and each stage has different air and extraction requirements. Combining them in one chamber means one of them gets done incompletely.
Our approach
How each challenge is addressed
At the level of approach and configuration — before any product is named.
The chamber is designed around the structure. The structure’s dimensions and how it enters are the first inputs. The published build range reaches 24,000 mm long, 20,000 mm wide and 6,000 mm high, with the final figure set by your structure.
We separate preparation from coating. A separate preparation chamber with its own extraction requirements precedes the coating chamber, so neither stage is compromised to accommodate the other in one space.
Air capacity is built for a large-volume chamber. Chambers of this size need airflow reaching 190,000 m³/h and heat output up to 600,000 kcal/h — what fundamentally separates a large build from an automotive booth.

What actually changes for this sector
Configuration — not product identity — is the real difference between sectors.
| Item | Range / value | Why it changes for this sector |
|---|---|---|
| Chamber dimensions | Built to order: up to 24,000 mm long · 20,000 mm wide · 6,000 mm high | Structures in these sectors exceed the automotive envelope many times over, so the chamber is designed around them rather than selected for them. |
| Air capacity | Delivered range up to 190,000 m³/h | A large chamber volume raises the airflow needed to change the air and hold the spray environment — the fundamental difference from an automotive booth. |
| Separation of preparation and coating | Sizes are configured to the requirements of the site | Preparation, stripping and inspection have different extraction requirements from spraying, and combining them in one chamber compromises one of the stages. |
| Approval and documentation requirements | Set per facility; required certificates are provided on request | Acceptance in aerospace, marine and rail depends on repeatable, evidenced results — a condition that precedes the equipment’s technical specification. |
Regulatory and site considerations
- Ventilation and fire requirements for large-volume coating chambers.
- Disposal of coating, solvent and stripping waste under the applicable environmental requirements.
- SASO conformity for imported equipment.
- Approval and qualification requirements for aerospace, marine and rail facilities are set per project, and the required certificates are provided on request.
Frequently asked questions about this sector
Have you built chambers for airframes?
The published build range in our catalogue includes chambers up to 24,000 mm long, 20,000 mm wide and 6,000 mm high — airframe dimensions, not vehicle ones. The closest project from our team’s record in this sector is a ground support services facility at an international airport in Riyadh — a heavy vehicle shop rather than an airframe chamber — listed with the others in Case Studies.
What exactly do you offer the marine sector?
Made-to-order paint booths for ship and yacht products. That is our confirmed scope in this sector and we do not stretch it — other marine workshop equipment is not listed because it is not confirmed.
Does a project need one chamber or more?
It depends on how the stages are split. Preparation, stripping and inspection have different extraction requirements from spraying, and combining the two stages in one chamber compromises one of them. We define the count after reviewing your process stages.
What is the lead time for a chamber of this size?
Design, manufacture and delivery of a made-to-order chamber take up to 90 working days, and some projects take less depending on size and configuration.
Have a structure that fits no stock chamber?
Send your structure’s dimensions, how it is brought in and your process stages, and we will come back with a one- or two-chamber concept built around them.
