Used painting systems | Used paint booths
Are you looking for one or more used painting systems? There can be a number of good reasons for this. Perhaps you are not sure whether a new paint booth or painting system is worthwhile for your business. Or you may not yet know whether a new system is worthwhile for the number of products to be painted. But it could also be that you want to start a new business and do not yet have the necessary equity.
Something that is often forgotten when looking for used painting systems or used spray booths: Paint shops are usually technologies designed for a very specific application, which cannot usually be easily transferred from one company to another. This can be easily explained using the example of a used paint booth for cars.
Used paint shops for passenger cars
Let’s assume you are interested in a spray booth that is already in use or you are offered one at a very reasonable price. This may sound tempting and the booth also fits into your workshop area in terms of its external dimensions. Now it gets exciting: First of all, you have a huge disassembly, transportation and assembly problem. The spray booth must be dismantled cleanly into all its individual parts. Nothing must go wrong. Many painting systems require underfloor construction work, e.g. for the exhaust air and filters, which means you have to plan and have expensive construction work carried out in your workshop area before the system is installed. Furthermore, a spray booth does not only consist of the booth itself, but the associated unit (heat and air, control, heating) is also an essential component. Where to put the unit? And above all: How was the unit supplied with energy during previous operation (oil, hot water, gas surface burner)? In extreme cases, you may not even be able to supply your new old paint booth with the energy resources available to you. Remember: Used painting systems and booths are usually more than 10 or more years old. This means that the entire technology is usually outdated and no longer state of the art. You may have to replace elementary controls, units, drives, motors and filters, etc. – You may have to completely replace elementary controls, drives, motors, filters and much more, also due to years of soiling from paint, so that in the end you have only bought a supposedly cheap shell, namely only the cabin itself, and have to retrofit the rest at great expense. Not to be underestimated are also the legal regulations and provisions that you must comply with, even with a used painting system. – If you consider all the advantages and disadvantages when buying a used paint booth, you may find that the subsequent costs ultimately exceed the new price of a modern, energy-saving painting system by a considerable margin and that you also have to work with outdated technology.
