Pitted Down Draft Paint Booth PDD-141026
Merchant 1 Manufacturing | Made in Reidsville, NC
PDD141026 Pitted Downdraft Paint Booth
Built for demanding production environments, the PDD141026 features top-down airflow with subsurface exhaust filtration, a spacious 14-foot-wide interior, integrated LED lighting, and a high-capacity exhaust system. Designed for facilities equipped to support a pitted downdraft configuration, this booth provides a dedicated finishing environment for professional painting operations.
Pitted Downdraft Airflow for Production Painting
The PDD141026 pitted downdraft paint booth draws air downward through the work area and directs exhaust beneath the booth floor into a subsurface exhaust system. Unlike a side-downdraft booth, which exhausts through side-mounted filtration, this design relies on a properly engineered pit or below-floor exhaust infrastructure.
Pitted downdraft booths are commonly selected for facilities replacing an existing pitted downdraft system or for projects where the building can accommodate the required subsurface construction. The booth can also be configured with additional air-intake and heating equipment when appropriate for the application.
Manufactured in Reidsville, North Carolina, by Merchant 1 Manufacturing, this booth combines durable galvanized steel construction with a high-capacity exhaust fan, integrated lighting, and intake and exhaust filtration.
Important: Pit and Exhaust Infrastructure
This is a pitted downdraft booth. The required subsurface exhaust pit, ductwork, foundation modifications, and related building infrastructure must be evaluated for your facility. Confirm pit dimensions, airflow requirements, exhaust discharge, and installation details with Merchant 1 Manufacturing and qualified contractors before ordering.
