Overview
HK Panels, a premium vehicle repair shop based in Campbellfield, Victoria, is renowned for its comprehensive range of panel shop services, including smash and body repairs, paintless dent removal, full crash repair, chassis alignment, and the fitting of body kits and accessories. With a commitment to excellence and a reputation built on over 20 years of experience in the automotive industry, HK Panels sought to elevate its operations by relocating to a new, state-of-the-art facility.
To ensure the highest standards in their new workshop, HK Panels partnered with Truflow Spray Booths to design and install a bespoke spray booth system tailored to their needs.
Client Needs
Upon moving to their new location, HK Panels aimed to establish a premium repair shop equipped with top-tier equipment to reflect their dedication to quality craftsmanship. The new facility needed to accommodate a wide range of vehicles, from small passenger cars to larger models, while maintaining exceptional standards for paint application and safety.
The client required a spray booth solution that would:
- Support a diverse range of vehicle repair and customisation services.
- Ensure compliance with Australian standards (AS4114:2020 and the Spray Painting Code of Practice).
- Deliver superior airflow performance to maintain finish quality and remove toxic fumes efficiently.
- Provide a robust, custom-designed system to enhance operational efficiency and durability.
- Tailor made design required to suit nice and fit outlook according to workshop internal facilities.
The Truflow Solution
HK Panels visited Truflow’s manufacturing facility at 23-27 Futura Rd, where they observed the meticulous craftsmanship and engineering expertise behind Truflow’s spray booth production.
Impressed by the clear difference in quality, HK Panels confidently chose Truflow as their partner for this critical project.
The Truflow team designed and installed a bespoke system tailored to HK Panels’ unique requirements, featuring:
- Elite MK1 Custom Spray Booth: A custom-designed booth capable of accommodating a wide range of vehicle sizes, ensuring versatility for HK Panels’ diverse service offerings.
- Inground Pit: Integrated into the booth design to facilitate under-vehicle access, streamlining repair and painting processes.
- Custom Oversized Prep Bay: A spacious preparation area to support efficient workflow and high-quality surface preparation.
- Mix Room: A dedicated space for precise paint mixing, ensuring consistent and accurate colour application.
- Engineered Custom Design: Tailor made design to suit up existing workshop conditions.
The system was engineered to deliver optimal airflow velocities (0.5 m/s horizontal and 0.25 m/s downdraft) to maintain a safe working environment and achieve flawless paint finishes. Truflow’s advanced fan systems and filter designs ensured minimal turbulence, reduced energy costs and compliance. The robust design also accounted for heavy usage, maintaining performance even when filters and ducts were loaded with overspray.
