Throughout Australia, companies across manufacturing industries rely on Truflow Spray Booths. Expressing confidence in the design and installation of high-quality aviation-based spray booths. The team at Truflow is dedicated to providing clients with modern and customisable facilities. Each spray booth is tailor-made. This ensures complete environmental control and painting conditions that adhere to Australian and international aviation standards.
Safety & Operator Protection
The most critical function of all aviation spray booth systems is to protect operators from exposure to highly toxic paints during the painting process. Truflow’s spray booths excel in this area, providing a rigorous approach to operator protection. This encompasses not only the airflow within the booth but also breathing air apparatus, personal protective equipment (PPE), and advanced filtration systems.
Standards Compliance
Truflow’s commitment to quality and safety is seen in their adherence to spray booth standards across the world. The Australian Standards for spray booths are regulated by various standards. For instance, the 4114:2020 Standards, AS60079 Hazardous Zone Standards, as well as Gas and Electrical codes. These require each spray booth to be certified in each state. Truflow is licensed and certified to work on Type B Appliances, applying both electrical and gas certifications. This ensures compliance with all federal and state guidelines on emissions. Their filtration systems are designed to handle hazardous substances such as chromium and cadmium. Additionally, the booths effectively mitigate and capture volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Truflow has developed a high-efficiency filter system to remove 95% of particles over 2 microns in size under certain conditions. They have also designed and implemented a local Australian-made equivalent that can be used within Australia by Truflow’s US client base and defence facilities. In recent years they have been seeking a high-efficiency alternative to standard paint stop filtration. One where traditional filters have been unsuccessful in fully capturing chromate-based overspray. The use of a 3-stage filtration system is not mandatory under regulations in Australia. However, Truflow has researched and developed this product specifically to meet the needs of its client base. This has created a new benchmark in Australian aviation spray booths technology. This 3-stage Aus-319 filtration system provides 99% removal of most paint spray aerosols. This exceeds the requirements of all other spray booth filtration systems nominated by environmental protection agencies and the code of practice.
Heating and Cooling Requirements
Maintaining the correct environmental temperature, humidity, and cooling controls within an aircraft spray booth is crucial for effective operation. Modern aircraft paints require a specific and narrow temperature range for proper application and results. To ensure these conditions are met, Truflow integrates temperature and humidity controls into the supply air handling units of their paint booths. This makes the potentially difficult task of obtaining the optimal temperature environment within the booth all the more achievable for the operators.
Conclusion
Truflow Spray Booths have established themselves as a trusted partner for the Australian aviation industry, providing high-quality, custom-designed spray booths that meet rigorous safety and compliance standards. Their dedication to operator protection and environmental control ensures that each facility operates at peak efficiency, delivering superior results for aircraft, component, and sub-assembly manufacturers across the country.
