dont think any of them sell direct.
Take a look at Ameri-cure while you are at it. You can deal factory direct with them.. Pricing is hard to beat….
yes i have been looking at there booths seems to be fair priced ,havent been able to talk to any one that has 1 ,do you use 1 at your job.
Yep, I have a Spray Bake and an Ameri-cure. Ameri-cure is almost 11 years old, Spray Bake is about 13. Havent had one problem w/ the Ameri-cure. Has been a good unit, they have made many upgrades sine I bought this one. Last time I was at NACE 3 years ago we took a look at the new ones and I was impressed for the money. Give them a ring, they are in Arizona.
While at sema i was checking out sprayzone. Seemed like a really quality and nice booth.
Before looking at a specific booth manufacturer, I’d look at what features are most important to you, and then look for a booth that meets all of these requirements. I.E. airflow type, heat rise, waterborne capability, control panel functions, single skin vs. dual skin, code compliance, etc.
Then I’d look at local support. Most booth manufacturers sell through distribution so that the customer has that local support to not only help them find the right booth, but also to assist them with code compliance, facility planning, installation, service, maintenance, and parts and filter support. Finding a good distributor to help you through the process of ordering, installing and maintaining a booth is crucial.
While purchasing direct from the manufacturer can occasionally provide a slightly lower equipment cost, you’ll be on your own for installation, service and maintenance. Often, the costs associated with permitting and code compliance that you often incur with factory-direct purchases far exceed the cost of buying similar equipment through an established distributor who can ensure your equipment is 100% compliant for your area.
When looking at booth manufacturers, look for a company that will provide you with everything you need from the very beginning, to the day you start up the booth, and into the future.
