“We have one painter and two preppers, and they love everything about Blowtherm,” Solis said.
The spray booth’s direct-fired gas burner, with its fast response to set temperatures, and heating recuperator are also big selling points, Solis said.
“It has, I think, 90% recirculation when it’s in the bake cycle,” Solis said. “That’s one thing that really set it apart; it has massive air movement. That means shorter operating cycles, which helps get vehicles through that part of the process quicker.
“Everything is reduced---cycle times and labor costs,” Solis said.
Solis also appreciates the booth’s LED lighting, and how the booth’s door locations are customizable to make sure they fit in with any shop’s layout.
“The appearance of the equipment is very nice,” Solis added. “You can tell just by looking at it that it’s very well built.”
The reliability is also top-notch, Solis said.
“It’s just a reliable piece of equipment,” he said. “As long as you keep up with maintenance on a regular basis, it gives you something reliable. I’ve worked with booths before that were always breaking down.”
Solis said he has received outstanding support from his Blowtherm distributor and authorized installer. “We’ve always gotten quick answers,” he said.
