This booth was used for refinishing and while in operation, met all City of Houston codes. It was used to refinish furniture in a professional shop in the Houston Heights. The overall dimensions are approximately 8’ by 8’ by 7’ tall. It is disassembled and all metal surfaces are clean. The motor is three phase. Working area is 6’ deep by 8’ wide by 7’ tall. Though I reluctantly installed it (fire department requirements), I was glad I did, it was quite an asset to my shop for many years. There original motor was recently replaced. The booth was not used every day, it sometimes sat idle for weeks. When used, it was switched on for 20 minutes to one hour, maybe three times in a day.
Condition issues. There is siginificant rust (water) damage on the bottom edge of 2 of the filter frames (see photo) and on one end of the top front support rail (same photo), however, because of the way it is constructed, the booth can be assembled and will be perfectly functional in spite of the damage, which is only on the lower end of the filter frames. Or these pieces can be easily repaired by a competent sheet metal fabricator. I know of one other area of rust, but it is insignificant. The metal is heavy 18 gauge and clean. I have some filter media. The booth can vent though the back wall, or through the top of the booth. Included is an explosion proof fluorescent light as shown in the photo.
The fire suppression system was inspected every year while in operation, but it has been stored away for a long time. There are three nozzles to discharge the chemical cylinders, all of the piping, alarm bell, manual discharge valve, shut off solenoid, and a cable system with fusible links. The chemical cylinders have been stored outdoors. I can not say if the cylinders are useable, they certainly aren’t as pretty as they once were. They would have to be depressurized, cleaned and tested in order to see if they are useable. I do have photos of the installation, and am willing to help with instructions on assembly, if needed. The rest of the system is useable and was completely functional when disassembled.
A new setup like this (with fire suppression) would easily cost around $10,000-$14000. The booth alone can cost $6500- $9500. (If you want this for personal, non commercial use, you can probably set it up with out the fire suppression system, though I am not certain of this.)
