Finishing Prep Station

Clean Air. Controlled Space. Ready to Prep.

The RTT Limited Finishing Prep Station provides a clean, controlled environment for automotive vehicle preparation and painting in shops where a full enclosed paint booth isn’t required. A pressurization fan draws fresh air from the cleaner upper levels of the shop and forces it down through a ceiling-mounted filter bank near the entry. The filtered air travels through the prep station work area and into a filtered exhaust plenum at the opposite end, where an exhaust fan and stack expel it outside — keeping overspray, dust, and solvent vapors contained and away from the surrounding shop floor.

 

The standard model (EPS-14-10-24-P-SB-S) measures 14 feet wide by 10 feet tall by 24 feet long, with 5,000 SCFM of airflow delivered by two 18-inch tubeaxial fans at 1.5 HP each. Twelve intake filters and twelve exhaust filters protect both the pressurization fan and the exhaust stack. The hanging intake plenum and exhaust wall plenum are fabricated from 18-gauge galvanized steel. The open layout accommodates full-size passenger vehicles and light trucks.

 

The design supports easy addition of a heated air makeup unit for temperature-controlled applications. All RTT Limited Finishing Prep Stations meet and exceed applicable OSHA and NFPA regulations. Control panels and electrical components are available as separate purchases, and Goff curtain walls are available as an option to close off the painting area when needed.

Features

  • Pressurization fan draws fresh air from upper shop levels into the work area
  • Ceiling-mounted filter bank at entry filters incoming air before it reaches the work zone
  • Filtered exhaust plenum at the opposite end of the work area
  • Exhaust fan and stack expel filtered air outside
  • Hanging intake plenum and exhaust wall plenum: 18-gauge galvanized steel construction
  • Two 18″ diameter tubeaxial exhaust fans, 1.5 HP three-phase motors (standard model)
  • 12 intake filters and 12 exhaust filters (standard model)
  • Supporting accessory panels, assembly hardware, and filters included
  • 4-tube, 48″ long, 32-watt fluorescent light fixtures; ETL-listed for Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D and Class 2 Division 2 Groups F and G; multi-voltage ballast accepts 110–277 VAC; bulbs factory-installed and tested prior to shipment
  • Lighting levels engineered using photometric software
  • Designed for easy addition of a heated air makeup unit
  • Meets and exceeds all applicable OSHA and NFPA regulations

Benefits

  • Contain overspray and solvent vapors within the prep area — pressurized airflow from ceiling to exhaust plenum keeps contaminants from migrating into the surrounding shop.
  • Work with cleaner incoming air — the pressurization fan draws from upper shop levels, away from floor-level dust and debris, and passes it through a ceiling filter bank before it reaches the work area.
  • Prep and paint full-size vehicles in a single station — the standard 14′ × 10′ × 24′ interior accommodates passenger vehicles and light trucks without reconfiguration.
  • Upgrade to heated airflow without redesigning the station — the layout is engineered to accept a heated air makeup unit as a direct addition.
  • Partition the painting area from adjacent shop activity — optional Goff curtain walls close off the spray zone when needed.
  • Maintain code compliance out of the box — every station meets OSHA and NFPA regulations.

Lighting

RTT Limited Finishing Prep Stations ship with four-tube, 48-inch, 32-watt fluorescent light fixtures. Fixtures are ETL-listed for use in spray booths rated Class 1 Division 2 (Groups A, B, C, D) and Class 2 Division 2 (Groups F and G). Each fixture includes a multi-voltage ballast that accepts any voltage between 110 VAC and 277 VAC. Bulbs are factory-installed and tested prior to shipment. Lighting levels are calculated and engineered using photometric software.

Control Panels

RTT offers pre-wired motor starters, UL-listed control panels, VFD controls, and optional touchscreens to simplify operation, fan speed adjustment, and booth balancing. All panels feature a single-point connection for quick and easy installation.
