Wow, these “explosion proof” fans don’t come cheap! I have a belt driven fan but the motor is mounted in the fan cage and is not explosion resistant. I thought I might mount it outside the fan cage with a longer belt and have the motor outside the booth. I figure, however, that the fan provides cooling for the motor, so that may not be ideal.
Has anyone here made their own on the cheap? The booth will be 10’x20’ with ceiling around 9’.
Also feel free to share any ideas on spray/finish rooms, as I’m starting with a clean slate here. Linin Gcm the walls with either PVC or Melamine so I can wash it down periodically. Lots of LED lighting. Enclosed cabinets in back for storage as this is really more a finish room than just specifically a spray booth.
