Ultra
Dual-Skin Downdraft Paint Booth
The Ultra downdraft spray booth has become the standard by
which all other dual-skin booths are judged, and with good reason.
With literally thousands of Ultra booths in daily operation all over
the world, the GFS Ultra downdraft is our most popular paint booth.
Featuring our exclusive CAF Controlled Air Flow ceiling design,
high-efficiency Ultra heat system, and optional equipment such as
VFD's and AdvanceCure, the Ultra is the paint booth that can help
your shop hit new levels of productivity, and achieve the best
quality finishes.

'CAF'
Controlled Air Flow ceiling:
Shown with
optional AdvanceCure towers (not included)
A design available only from GFS, the Controlled Air Flow ceiling is
designed to improve the already efficient downdraft model. The main flow
zone concentrates air movement over the vehicle, drawing overspray down
into the exhaust pit where it is safely contained. The unique side
airflow zones keep overspray from collecting in the booth corners and on
the lights, and help keep the booth clean and contaminant-free. |

SBC
Plus 1 Control Panel:
The nerve
center of the Ultra, the SBC Plus 1 control panel provides complete
control over every aspect of the booth's operation. Each setting can be
fine tuned for custom work, or use pre-programmed SmartCure profiles to
create one-touch operating cycles for your specific paints and coatings.

Ultra Heater:
The powerful
Ultra heat group features a 1.2 million BTU burner, and 10hp
high-efficiency direct-drive motors and automatice pressure control via
servo-motor and dampers.

Optional AdvanceCure Accelerated Airflow System:
|
AdvanceCure
Accelerated Airflow System is optional on the Ultra. Adding AdvanceCure
to the interior of the booth vastly improves the productivity of the
equipment. AdvanceCure introduces controlled turbulence into the paint
booth during the flash-off and cure cycles to rapidly draw vapors out of
the painted surfaces. This increased airflow dramatically reduces the
amount of time required for each paint job, and in turn, increases the
profitability of your body shop. AdvanceCure speeds curing of both
solvent-based and waterborne paints, so you can be sure that your
finishing operation will improve today, and well into the future.
