Bespoke Spraybooth Installation for Penske Porsche, Germany
A challenging first-floor installation for Penske Porsche in Germany, featuring a fully electric Cyclone spraybooth designed around a low ceiling and complex existing services.
As part of a major investment in its future, the customer developed a new purpose-built production facility. The site was designed to support increased output and improve overall manufacturing standards, incorporating a modern paint shop and shot blast area.
A key requirement was ensuring the finishing process aligned with the upgraded environment while maintaining the methods the team already relied on.
The customer had been using an existing spraybooth for over 20 years, which featured a “hanging” system for coating components. This approach was central to their workflow and the quality of finish they achieved.
Replicating this functionality within a new, larger-scale setup presented a challenge. The solution needed to support higher throughput while preserving a familiar working method. At the same time, the system had to integrate smoothly into the new facility and complement surrounding processes such as shot blasting and paint preparation.
Balancing performance improvements with continuity was critical to the project’s success.
A bespoke spraybooth system was designed to meet these requirements, combining proven functionality with modern performance.
The installation included two 12m x 5m x 4.5m side-extract, down-draft spraybooths, alongside an interlinked paint mixing room to support efficient preparation. The layout was carefully planned to allow a logical flow of components through each stage of the finishing process.
Particular attention was given to airflow design and booth configuration to ensure consistent coating results, while accommodating the customer’s preferred methods.
Increased throughput to support growing production demands
Consistent, high-quality finishes achieved through optimised airflow
Retention of the hanging process for continuity in operations
Integrated paint mixing area to improve workflow efficiency
A layout designed to complement the wider production environment
The new system has delivered a clear increase in production capacity, enabling the customer to handle larger volumes and more complex projects with confidence.
In addition to operational improvements, the facility has become a source of pride for the customer. The modern paintshop not only enhances internal efficiency but also serves as a valuable asset when showcasing capabilities to clients, acting as a powerful sales and marketing tool.
Overall, the project successfully combined continuity of proven working methods with the benefits of a modern, purpose-built solution, positioning the business for continued growth.
