IntelliMist is a process improvement tool. Because it automatically controls a spray booth during the spray cycle at the optimum level for humidity, it provides a productive spray booth climate. It can also be used after the bake cycle to rapidly cool down the booth and the panels. Vehicles are much more “workable” due to lower part and body temperatures.
Optimizing the spray booth climate means that all waterborne and solvent borne products can be used more efficiently and consistently. It can minimize the need for specific additives and adjustments and painters don’t have to constantly adjust paint mixtures to deal with conditions, the company said. Painters will no longer have to struggle to keep a “wet edge.”
It also enhances painter comfort. With a controlled spray booth climate, painters can work normal shifts instead of starting at midnight and stopping by noon in high heat, low humidity conditions.
Installation is normally completed in less than a day and there are no structural issues adding it to an existing booth, the company said.
