More Information
Summary:A method and apparatus for powder spraying a automotive or other vehicle body (19) in a powder spray booth (11) includes a cabin purge zone (45) in which a pair of inlet hood assemblies (46,47) are positioned to the side window openings on each side of the body (19) and the cavity is purged of excess powder by extracting the powder from the cavity through the inlet hood assemblies (46,47). The effective and efficient removal of suspended oversprayed powder from the interior of the vehicle cabin is accomplished through the production of a symmetrical air flow through the vehicle cabin in which air is exhausted through the two side window openings while the interior of the vehicle cabin is replenished with air through the front windshield opening and the rear window opening.
