quickly and easily partitioned into
2 separate 10M booths to allow
simultaneous spraying of smaller
projects. This partitioned design
pattern ensured that the spray booth
can always be operating at maximum
capacity – regardless of the size of the
object that is being sprayed.
The luxury yacht building company
previously had 3 individual spray
booths, 2 of which were standard carsized booths, and one was 5 meters
long. When attempting to spray large
fly bridges these booths fell far short
of what was required in terms of
size. A permanent made for purpose
solution was desperately needed.

As such, size was of paramount
importance to this project, it was the
number one concern. Once a location
was identified as suitable to install a
booth of sufficient proportions for
painting even the largest objects on a
regular basis. After a few discussions
and a thorough evaluation, DTC
presented a recommended solution.

considerable complications.
With some careful calculations
the final installation included
4 separate extraction motors
/ fans, and 2 separate input
motors / fans. The burner boxes
were 16 meters cubed, which is
over 5 times larger than those
you’d see in a standard car-sized
spray booth!
Explained Warwick Binks, Head
of the DTC Projects division
The ceiling filtration system again
surpasses anything that would be
installed in a standard spray booth. It
has 52 filters installed throughout the
booth, as opposed to 4 in a standard
car spray booth. Additionally, 24 side
extraction filters were installed to
remove harmful fumes, and 32 pocket
filters were installed within the
extraction machinery.
DTC delivered a turnkey solution
covering everything from the booth
itself through to exhaust and input
ventilation systems that lead to the
roof. Additionally, DTC installed a
paint storeroom and a paint mixing
room in the near vicinity of the
new booth – further increasing
productivity and optimising operative
workflows.
DTC delivered the project both on
time, and within budget. The end
result is that now the luxury yacht
manufacturer are now able to have
6 operatives working on two fly
bridges simultaneously. They can
also transition between smaller and
larger objects with the minimum of
hassle, and productivity will benefit
dramatically as a result.

superb job on site and it was
a pleasure having you. In my
time I have had a few spray
booths fitted but none I have
never needed to get 100%
involved in to make them meet
the deadline without a fuss!
Thank you for your support
on this project, very much
appreciated.
