Variable Airflow
A substantial increase in energy costs has forced Body Shops to look closely at whole life operating costs. Spray booth energy costs can vary from a massive £15 per job to as little £2 per job, all depending on the type of air handling plant installed. Junair have developed energy efficient air handling plant that will deliver the lowest possible energy cost per job.
The use of variable speed drives on spray booth motors is nothing new, we have been using them for the last 10 years, however Junair have developed a unique system that varies the airflow volume to suit the process.
The system is fully automatic, requiring no operator selection so the energy savings are guaranteed.
Reducing the airflow through the cabin means lower fuel and energy costs. You don’t need 100% airflow when the booth is standing idle for instance or when vehicles are being loaded and unloaded. That would be like sitting in your car at traffic lights with your foot hard on the accelerator.
| Load,Unload,cleaning, idle = Low airflow, reduced by 75% |
| Flash off base-coat = Medium airflow, reduced by 50% |
| Spray application = High airflow, 100% air volume used on spray cycle |
| Bake Cycle = Medium airflow, reduced by 40% |
| When combined with QADs, Variable Airflow can save 65% of Spray booth Energy Costs |
