Mondego Paint Booth

Modular solution for automotive paint booths

The Mondego paint booth has been designed to meet the demands of automotive workshops seeking a robust, efficient solution with room for growth. Thanks to its versatile configuration, this model adapts easily to different working environments, offering a perfect balance between technical performance and cost-effectiveness.

Designed to facilitate continuous and uniform processes, the Mondego paint booth incorporates high-performance supply and extraction units capable of moving large volumes of air, ensuring constant renewal of the interior environment throughout all stages of work.

Its lighting system, featuring energy-efficient LED technology with instant start-up, provides optimal visibility with significant energy savings, whilst its modular structure allows for the integration of additional elements or upgrades as the workshop grows.

The Mondego is equipped with high-efficiency electric motors and is designed to accommodate the standard integration of extraction systems and a range of worktop options, with up to five possible floor configurations, making it a flexible and versatile choice for both compact spaces and larger, workflow-based facilities.

During drying, the paint booth activates a system that reuses a large proportion of the already heated air, significantly reducing fuel consumption. This method not only optimises resources but also shortens cycle times.

Fercabin thus offers professionals a high-quality, adaptable technical solution with scope for future improvement, ideal for workshops seeking reliability without compromising on value for money.

Central grating

This configuration requires a pre-construction pit 31,5 in deep and an air exhaust duct leading to the outside; if the cabin is fitted with a recirculation system, a second duct must be provided for this purpose.

Fercabin will provide the construction drawings.

Emparrillado central

Full grating over the pit

This configuration requires civil engineering works to a depth of 10,62 in, in accordance with the plans provided by Fercabin.

Possible configurations:

Full grating: The pit is completely covered with grating; air is channelled to the centre, although the entire area is covered with a paint-stop filter.
Mixed grating: The sides, where the painter works, are covered with ribbed sheet metal, and the centre features a central extraction system directed at the vehicle.

Emparrillado total sobre foso

Elevated grating with external ramp

This civil engineering-free configuration increases the cabin height by 10,62 in from ground level and offers two possible sub-configurations.

As for the ramp, it can be either a rolling ramp (standard) or a full ramp.

As for the interior flooring, it can be either full or mixed (standard).

Possible configurations:

Full grating: The pit is completely covered with grating; air is channelled to the centre, although the entire area is covered with a paint-stop filter.
Mixed grating: The sides, where the painter works, are covered with ribbed sheet metal, and the centre features a central extraction system directed at the vehicle.

Emparrillado elevado con rampa exterior

Grating with internal ramp

This option requires no building work whatsoever; the ramp is integrated into the interior of the cabin, ensuring it takes up no more space than is strictly necessary and even offering an advantage when painting bumpers.

As for the interior flooring, it can be either Full or Mixed (standard).

Possible configurations:

Full grating: The pit is completely covered with grating, except for the ramps; air is channelled towards the centre, although the entire area is covered with a paint-stop filter.
Mixed grating: The sides, where the painter works, are covered with ribbed sheet metal, and the centre features a central extraction system directed at the vehicle.

Emparrillado elevado con rampa interior

Grating with internal pneumatic ramp

The most advanced version in terms of grating, offering all the advantages and none of the drawbacks, this version is fitted with pneumatic actuators that ensure the ramp is lowered to a horizontal position once the vehicle has been driven into the enclosure.

As for the interior flooring, it can be either Full or Mixed (standard).

Possible configurations:

Full grating: The pit is completely covered with grating, except for the ramps; air is channelled towards the centre, although the entire area is covered with a paint-stop filter.
Mixed grating: The sides, where the painter works, are covered with ribbed sheet metal, and the centre features a central extraction system directed at the vehicle.

Top-mounted drive units without recirculation

Recognising the importance of space, this option minimises the footprint of the booth by positioning the blower unit at the top of the paint booth.

Flow rates:

1,83071e+9 – 2,07481e+9 in³/h

Grupo de impulsión superior

Top-mounted drive units with recirculation

The recirculation system has been designed with the energy efficiency of our products in mind. This enables us to save time and fuel, resulting in cost savings of around 30% compared to the same equipment without this feature.

This system consists of a set of pneumatic dampers that operate in synchronisation to reuse the heat generated in the cabin, solely during the drying phase. It is important that this system is pneumatic, as electric actuators are unable to provide sufficient force to ensure a complete seal between working phases.

Flow rates:

1,83071e+9 – 2,07481e+9 in³/h

Side-mounted drive units without recirculation

Designed with simplicity in mind, this equipment is positioned on the side of the paint booth at ground level, allowing direct and convenient access to all components.

Flow rates:

1,83071e+9 – 2,07481e+9 in³/h

Grupo de impulsión lateral sin recirculación

Side-flow drive units with recirculation

Designed with simplicity in mind, this equipment is positioned at ground level on the side of the paint booth, allowing direct and convenient access to all components.

The recirculation system has been designed to optimise the energy efficiency of our equipment, directly benefiting the end user. Thanks to this system, there is a significant reduction in process times and fuel consumption, which can result in cost savings of up to 30% compared to equivalent equipment without this feature.

The system incorporates a set of pneumatic dampers that operate in a coordinated manner, allowing the heat accumulated inside the booth to be reused exclusively during the drying phase. Pneumatic actuation is essential, as electric actuators do not provide the necessary force to ensure a completely airtight seal between the different work phases.

Air duct burners

One of the most innovative solutions, with installed capacity tailored to specific requirements.

They are used to heat large volumes of air for use in drying processes, but can only operate within an air stream of a certain velocity.

The combustion gases are mixed with the air to be heated, thereby achieving 100% performance.

This type of equipment features modular flame adjustment from 0 to 100%, allowing for precise temperature control with minimal fluctuations.

Diesel burners

These burners stand out for their versatility and are available in a range of power ratings, from 60 to 260 kW.

Their stable operation and high thermal capacity ensure optimum performance during the drying process, allowing them to be used with a wide variety of products and finishes without any loss of efficiency.

Quemador de gasoil

Gas burners

Gas burners, with outputs ranging from 35 to 280 kW, offer an alternative to diesel burners in locations where gas is available as an energy source.

These burners also provide the oven chamber with sufficient power to ensure rapid and uniform drying of any product placed inside, regardless of its composition.

Air purifiers

Air purifiers are the only option when it comes to eliminating odours caused by the application of paints, varnishes or lacquers. These extraction units must be matched to the supply unit and remove air whilst cleaning it in three stages:

The first stage, in which primary filters remove the largest particles; the second stage, where up to 98% of the remaining airborne particles are removed; and the final stage, where odours are trapped. In this way, the booth can operate in a closed-loop system, renewing only a small percentage of the air, or discharge the air to the outside free of particles and with a significant reduction in odours.

Depuradora de aire

Extraction unit

These groups correspond to the supply air groups; in this way, we achieve optimal cabin pressurisation, which can be regulated either automatically or manually via a manual damper that we adjust based on the readings displayed on a differential pressure gauge, which is always included with this option.

1,83071e+9 – 2,07481e+9 in³/h
