An exhibition and retail display workshop resembles neither a plant nor a car workshop. The work is seasonal and compressed, a single piece carries more than one colour, and delivery is tied to a show date that does not move.
A retail display finishing booth is designed for that pattern: short repeated cycles in several colours, not one long production run.
Short cycles change the extraction maths
A chamber designed for one long cycle differs from one designed for short repeated cycles specifically in extraction capacity. Repeated cycles raise the air renewal a chamber needs across the day rather than at an instantaneous peak.
The published flow range runs from 18,000 to 190,000 m³/h per supply or extraction set, with the final figure set by chamber volume and your operating pattern together.
| Item | What changes |
|---|---|
| Operating pattern | Short repeated cycles, not one long run |
| Colours | More than one per piece with hard edges |
| Size | Follows the longest board, not the largest volume |
| Surface | Flat panels that show every spray defect |
| Peak | Seasonal, tied to show dates |
A flat panel hides nothing
Display sides are large flat panels, among the least forgiving surfaces for spray defects. Any unevenness in flow or air cleanliness shows on a flat panel in a way it does not on a curved body.
Ceiling filter class is therefore read more seriously here — published classes are EU3, EU4 and EU5 in pre and ceiling filtration, extending to three-stage bag and high-efficiency filtration where the work requires it.
Size follows the longest piece
A display breaks down into panels, posts and frames, and the longest of them sets internal length. The published range extends to 24,000 mm long and 20,000 mm wide, which takes these applications with room for arrangement.
Dust before spraying
Timber or metal panels are sanded and prepared before finishing, and the resulting dust returns to the surface unless the two volumes are physically separated. A prep room with its own extraction precedes the finishing chamber.
Frequently asked questions
How many cycles a day can it run?
It depends on cycle time for your material and on extraction capacity. Send your target cycle count on a peak day so capacity is built on the peak rather than the average, because the peak is what stops delivery.
Can one chamber handle several colours?
Yes, and the difference is in cleaning time between cycles and in the extraction that clears the previous colour. Both are discussed with the specification rather than after it.
What is the longest panel you can finish?
The published range extends to 24,000 mm long. Final size is set by the longest piece on your line and how it enters.
Do I need a separate prep room?
If you sand inside the same workshop, then yes. Physical separation with dedicated extraction is what stops dust returning to the surface after spraying; time-based procedure alone does not.
