Traditionally spraybooths in thebodyshop industry have used gas or oilburners to generate heat in the paintrefinishing process. However there hasnow been a giant leap in carbonefficiency with the development ofCADIF IRDHT (Infra Red HighTemperature Drying) technology.
Developed in EuropeThis technology is used throughoutEurope as an electrically poweredheating source for both domestic andcommercial premises using slim-decored wall panels, ceiling panelsand under floor heating systems. Thattechnology has now been developed asa paint drying system for both the OEMand vehicle body repair industries.
Dramatic Drop in Energy CostsUtilising a mix of both high and lowtemperature panels the idealtemperatures can be achieved for boththe spraying and drying cycles in thespraybooth.
And using a totally electric systemmeans the body shop can eliminategas or oil as an energy source, thussubstantially reducing their energycosts to about one eighth of what theywere and in doing so achieve zerocarbon output.
First Dalby Without Gas PlantThe spraybooth at Atherstone AccidentRepair Centre is a Dalby Genesis boothbut with no gas powered heating plant– it’s the first to be installed in the UKwith the CADIF IRDHT system. It has
the usual air extraction systemhowever 75% of the air is filtered andrecirculated.
The CADIF system attracts CarbonTrust interest free finance; withrepayments to the Carbon Trust beingno more than the energy savings madethere is no impact on the cashflow ofthe business.
System DesignThe CADIF system is available as acomplete new installation with booth, orit can be retro-fitted into an existing
spraybooth. There is also anaccompanying heating system for thepaint mixing room. The system uses acombination of roof and wall panelsplaced to suit your booth and workload.IRD wall panels can reach a maxoperating temperature of 130°C whilethe HT Plus ceiling panels can reach amax temperature of 350°C. Using thetwo types of panel in combination givesfar greater efficiencies than traditionaloil/gas burners.
Benefits of the system:
• The only infra-red system that can beused for both the paint and bake cycles
• Eliminates the need for gas or oil in the booth heating system
• Environmentally friendly - reduces carbon out put to zero
• Improved paint finish and drying quality
• Attracts Carbon Trust interest free finance
• Vastly reduces heat energy costs• Can be supplied as complete with
spraybooth, or retro-fitted into existing spraybooths
CADIF IRDHT is part of the Eco Ethosas promoted by Trevor Ferris – tochange the way the automotive repairindustry thinks and operates. Toenable change that introduces newtechnology and techniques, and toeradicate unnecessary waste throughrepair NOT replace.
The UK’s First Eco Spraybooth
The new Eco Spraybooth at Atherstone Accident Repair Centre was officially opened by Mike Brewer. He’s seen here with BobTaylor, owner of Atherstone Accident Repair Centre (centre) and Trevor Ferris, MD, Eco Repair Systems Ltd (left).
