Todd Engineering’s Nemesis 5000 Series spray booths represent cutting-edge innovation and design in developing 'the only true solution' for bodyshops wanting to dramatically increase productivity while reducing vehicle movements, paint product expenditure, key to key times and energy consumption.

At the heart of the Nemesis range of spray booths are the E5, a robotic gas catalytic IR Arch. The E5 is capable of moving along the length of a booth cabin and traverse width ways throughout multiple cabins. It can 'fully cure' panels using standard un-accelerated products in a matter of minutes, meaning it can be reworked as soon as they are cool.

The Nemesis range can be configured as a two or three bay set up, allowing a full repair process to be undertaken in the downdraught cabins.

Key Features of IR Gas Catalytic Technology:

  • Drying time is reduced by more than 50%
  • Fuel consumption is reduced by 80%
  • Productivity Increased by 30%
  • Rapid Payback on investment
  • Safe, flameless heater technology approved for ATEX hazardous areas.
  • Environmentally friendly – Gas catalytic panels do not produce Carbon Monoxide (CO) or Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), moreover they abate VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) with consequent reduction of toxic emissions.

Layout The Nemesis is a downdraught type spray booth which features a fully filtered floor area; the downdraught design ensures all overspray and dirt is pulled immediately to floor level and held there during the spraying process, this eliminates overspray contaminating other areas of the paintwork and provides a perfect finish. The full-size ceiling air input plenum helps facilitate this design by producing an even through flow of heated air that completely envelops the vehicle, meaning all areas of the car including sills are heated to the required panel temperature evenly.. The E5 Plus robotic arch runs on rails mounted on both Y and X-axis throughout the cabins, allowing the robot to move between and cure products in any of the booths. Sealed electrically operated and fully automatic PVC curtains separate each cabin to prevent cross-contamination, additional curtains to the rear protect the robotic arch whilst spraying is in progress

Construction

The spray booth cabin is constructed using double skinned rock-wool insulated panels with a white polyester finish both internally and externally, the panels include built-in steel sections to provide support for the E5 arch, this design eliminates the need for an additional framework that would encroach into the cabin and provides a flush and more complete finish. Panel sections are joined with bright aluminium sections which give a seamless and attractive finish that takes away the exposed joints that would otherwise be filled with sealant.

Performance

Each cabins air handling plant is fitted with two 4kW direct-drive bifurcated aerofoil axial fans to achieve the design airflow rate of 25000m³/hr. This provides a rate of 4 air changes per minute within the cabin, with extracted air being exhausted to the atmosphere. The extraction system is fitted with two-stage filtration incorporating 50mm EU2 paint stop filter and EU3 blue pre-filter; this ensures that emissions meet EPA requirements. Input air is filtered through high-quality EU5 filter media housed in the full ceiling plenum, which captures contaminants down to 10 microns.

Lighting

Todd Engineering has developed a state-of-the-art LED lighting system specifically for use in their range of spray booths. These LED lights surpass the very highest standards required in the automotive refinishing sector, creating a superbly lit cabin with high level-light pods. The Pods are angled to reduce glare and shadowing. The state-of-the-art LED lighting system gives illumination levels in excess of +1800 lux through the use of high output LED SMD Chips designed to provide a colour temperature of 5000K @ 90CRI offering unrivalled lighting quality when colour matching. These LED's consume 50% less energy than conventional tubes with an equivalent light output and operate via an external low voltage driver at 36VDC. The lighting is fitted with a hi-tech laser-etched 'Luminit' film, which removes the visual appearance of each individual LED and created a flat panel of light. The light pods are finished with a frameless toughened glass cover and intumescent seal to separate electronics from the booth atmosphere.

Spraying Cycle

Fresh air is drawn from the atmosphere and heated to the required temperature. It then passes through EU5 ceiling filters into the booth and over the vehicle, as it passes it carries away paint over-spray & vapours. The air is extracted via a twin dry filter system and let out to the atmosphere. It is essential to use the recommended filters with regular changes; doing so will help 99% of pollutants can be captured.

Heating

The spray booth is fitted with a state of the art direct-fired modulating gas/LPG premix burner with an output of 170kW or 580,000Btu's/hr; this allows input air to be rapidly heated to the pre-set temperature on the control panel, cabin temperature is then held within +/- 1 degree.

Noise Levels

Comfortable working cabin levels of between 60-65 dB, variable speed motors contribute to 50% lower dB outbreak levels.

Main Doors

The main vehicle entry doors are a three-leaf construction that opens in a concertina fashion, which saves space on the doors overall opening distance. Door Hinges have been designed specifically for application in spray booths and are made through aluminium extrusion in a white powder-coated finish, white plastic cover plates then cover the fixing bolts to complete the look of the hinge. Two individual locking mechanisms allow one single leaf door to be used as a second personnel door; this is fitted with a self-closer and dictators to provide a good seal. The door frame has a white powder-coated finish and a built-in rubber compression seal, each door has a sizeable full-length glass viewing panel framed in aluminium increasing internal booth visibility.

Personnel Door

A second personnel door can be fitted to any wall panel; it is generally held to the rear of the cabin to provide a safe fire escape route. The door is fitted within its own white powder coated frame complete with self-closer, dictators, full-length viewing window, extruded aluminium hinges and rubber compression seals.

Control Panel

The Spraybooth control system is fully integrated with the E5 Robot for seamless and reliable operation, it uses the latest technology available to give the operator intelligent and user-friendly control of all processes in each cabin. Simple push-button controls are used for cycle selection and lighting, meaning in most cases the booth can be controlled with one touch of a button. The intelligent programming of the PLC-based system monitors and adjusts cabin pressure and temperature to suit and displays the current spray booth status on a 3.5” full-colour TFT Touchscreen display. Separate controllers for temperature and cycle time duration are fully adjustable by the operator and give a clear indication of set points, current temperature and remaining process time

Inverter Variable Speed Drives

All of the Todd Engineering spray booths are fitted with inverter variable speed drives to an electronically balanced cabin pressure; this is achieved by controlling the fan speeds using the inverters. This method of control is beneficial in maximising the energy efficiency of the spray booth by only running the fans the rate required by the process. The inverters also increase the life expectancy and reduce maintenance of all associated components including the motor, driveshafts, and bearings through controlled acceleration and deceleration of the motors; this also eliminates electrical surges as the spray booth is started.
