Mobile, modular and, retractable spray paint booth
Thus you have landed here, you surely know well about paint booths and you probably are looking for one or are exploring the market solutions to find the one that best suits your needs.
Have you ever heard of mobile, modular, and retractable paint booths?
If not, you are in the right place.
Mobile, modular, and compactable paint booths are one of the leading solutions developed by HPM Engineering throughout the last decades. A patented, highly innovative, Made in Italy product.
Our booths’ history
HPM Engineering was founded in 2005 by a group of partners with over 20 years of experience in the marine, bodywork, and industry sectors. The company began its activity by placing itself on the Italian and international market as a reference point for solving problems related to efficient air ventilation and filtration of air pollutants: overspray fumes, fumes and dust released during several processes carried out on company sites. The initial goal was therefore to improve environmental protection, safety, health and operators' productivity, in particular in the domains of yacht and shipbuilding and refit, industrial processing and the production and maintenance of large means of transport, especially in the railway sector.
Over time HPM Engineering has gained a great deal of experience, starting to develop more and more innovative solutions and obtaining important international patents, such as that for "SPACE”: this innovative, compactable and extendable ventilation and filtration spray booth was developed for industrial processes that require specific air and pollutants extraction systems. The invention’s uniqueness distinguishes it from the other products on the market, furthermore extremely customizable according to the production logistics and requirements.
How it all started
The idea of creating a mobile, modular and compactable painting booth stems from a specific need in the marine sector. In this sector, on the one hand, a very high level of finish and painting quality is required, but, on the other, the large size of boats results in numerous difficulties and logistical constraints that could make these processes less effective or efficient.
HPM Engineering decided to take up this challenge and create special spaces for painting in compliance with the health and safety regulations, but also allowing their users to solve the logistical problems deriving from the need to carry out these kinds of processing on products of considerable size.
Following a period of study and analysis, the company came up with a brilliant idea: "Why don't we bring the booth over the product instead of bringing the product inside the booth?"
It is exactly starting from this question that the innovative solution proposed by HPM Engineering was developed: a mobile, modular and compactable painting booth called SPACE TUNNEL. It is a complete structure equipped with ventilation and filtering systems, which makes it possible to solve the logistical problems related to painting applications while complying with current safety standards. The booth designed by HPM Engineering can in fact be moved near the ship so as to comfortably paint all its components, without the need to carry out invasive construction work and allowing its users to move their products freely, e.g. using forklifts, cranes or bridge cranes.
This solution was then extended to the railway and industry sectors, which share similar characteristics and needs: the booth designed by HPM Engineering is able to provide significant advantages in terms of space, time and cost savings in both sectors.
HPM’s products and services
HPM Engineering offers customized, tailor-made solutions to best adapt them to the characteristics of the individual target sectors, to the type of processing to be carried out and to the workspace the customer has available. It is thus possible to modify project parameters such as:
The booth’s dimensions in terms of length, width and height;
Filtration systems, depending on the pollutant that will be generated in the manufacturing process;
Internal neon or LED lighting (certified ATEX) positioned on the ceiling or on the side walls;
Sockets to connect the tools inside the booth;
and much more.
HPM offers several possibilities: for this reason, our projects are often carried out in collaboration between our expert technicians and the customer in order to identify the options that most suit their needs.
