How Garmat® USA keeps your operations running smoothly
A paint booth to a technician in the collision industry is what an operating room is to a surgeon in the medical field. Just like an operating room, the paint booth provides the technician with a safe and effective environment to perform their work. And like a surgeon who can’t operate effectively without a well-equipped operating room and staff, a technician cannot produce proper output without a well-kept paint booth that has adequate lighting, airflow, and filtration.
Without appropriate upkeep, a paint booth's lifespan can decline dramatically. Depending on the brand and product quality, a paint booth can last as little as five years or up to 30 or more years. Just like any other investment, it is important to take care of paint booths to guarantee the quality of work and longevity of the product.
With Garmat® USA — a North American paint booth manufacturer — technicians know that they are buying state-of-the-art paint booths with after-sales support that is comparable to no other.
Superior Design
Garmat offers several design-related features in its paint booths, which allows it to be held to a higher standard than its competitors.
“Our paint booths are designed with the highest quality components, intently engineered for optimal operation and serviceability when needed,” said Collin Armstrong, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Garmat.
Lighting: For technicians, lighting quality and placement in a paint booth are critical for color matching. Garmat paint booths utilize the best LED bulbs, and each booth is equipped with standard 4-tube interior accessible fixtures. These light fixtures are mounted horizontally and placed above and below the belt line for optimal and virtually shadow-free illumination.
Balanced airflow: It is important to have good airflow within a paint booth to ensure technician safety. Garmat paint booth designs offer balancing pans in the ceiling and floor that create a balanced airflow environment. The dual inlet reverse incline centrifugal fans maintain consistent air flow while the filters load and have the added benefit of preventing overspray buildup, with reduced noise and energy cost savings.
Doors: Garmat cabins utilize 10-foot-wide insulated tri-fold door assemblies and large flush-mounted observation windows for high visibility. The door design includes internal latching mechanisms that help eliminate dirt collection zones.
Preventative Maintenance
Garmat paint booths are built with efficiency and accessibility in mind. Additionally, Garmat’s experience in performing preventative maintenance on paint booths is another benefit that encourages customers to choose Garmat.
In the collision industry, preventative maintenance has not been a widely adopted practice on paint booths. Unlike competitors, Garmat has been offering preventative maintenance on paint booths for several years.
“Paint booths that have consistently used Garmat’s preventative maintenance offerings have continued in operation well beyond the median average, incurring minimal downtime and operating consistently year over year,” Armstrong said.
Garmat’s preventative maintenance addresses three major categories:
Safety and quality: Team member safety and providing the best tools for team members to create their best work, reducing quality defects in the paint refinishing process.
Preserving equipment lifespan: Extend the life of your paint booth well beyond a booth that isn’t maintained regularly.
Increase production capacity: Preserve operational uptime of the equipment, avoid costly downtime, and increase efficiency and reliability of the booth operation.
This ensures that Garmat paint booths last for the intended lifespan. The preventative maintenance that Garmat offers is proof of the company’s commitment to its after-sales support.
After-Sales Support
Garmat’s after-sales support gives customers the help they need throughout the lifespan of their paint booth.
“We provide a seamless installation experience of the equipment on day one,” Armstrong said. “But it doesn’t end there. Our teams are equipped with the parts and filters needed to continue operation throughout the product life cycle. Not only that, but our paint booth technicians are OEM trained and certified to properly diagnose and resolve the root cause of potential issues that may occur.”
With Garmat's support, customers can operate their paint booth without worry. They know that if anything goes wrong, the experts at Garmat have their backs.
“Our teams and network deliver industry-leading preventative maintenance programs for spray booths and finishing equipment, ensuring our customers’ equipment is ready to operate when they need it,” Armstrong said. “Garmat and our partners are there to offer technical support when needed.”
