Dual-Skin Downdraft Paint Booth
The Ultra downdraft spray booth has become the standard by which all other dual-skin booths are judged, and with good reason. With literally thousands of Ultra booths in daily operation all over the world, the GFS Ultra downdraft is our most popular paint booth. Featuring our exclusive CAF Controlled Air Flow ceiling design, high-efficiency Ultra heat system, and optional equipment such as VFD's and AdvanceCure, the Ultra is the paint booth that can help your shop hit new levels of productivity, and achieve the best quality finishes.

A look inside Ultra:
• 12 high-efficiency 6-tube light fixtures
- 8 lights integrated into CAF Ceiling, 4 sidewall lights
• Dual-skin white pre-coated insulated panel construction
• 4-wing dual-skin insulated entry doors with drive-thru options
• Single-row exhaust pit standard, with three-row or raised basement options
| | 'CAF' Controlled Air Flow ceiling:
Shown with optional AdvanceCure towers (not included)
A design available only from GFS, the Controlled Air Flow ceiling is designed to improve the already efficient downdraft model. The main flow zone concentrates air movement over the vehicle, drawing overspray down into the exhaust pit where it is safely contained. The unique side airflow zones keep overspray from collecting in the booth corners and on the lights, and help keep the booth clean and contaminant-free. |

SBC Plus 1 Control Panel:
The nerve center of the Ultra, the SBC Plus 1 control panel provides complete control over every aspect of the booth's operation. Each setting can be fine tuned for custom work, or use pre-programmed SmartCure profiles to create one-touch operating cycles for your specific paints and coatings.
| | Ultra Heater:
The powerful Ultra heat group features a 1.2 million BTU burner, and 10hp high-efficiency direct-drive motors and automatice pressure control via servo-motor and dampers.

Optional AdvanceCure Accelerated Airflow System:
|
AdvanceCure Accelerated Airflow System is optional on the Ultra. Adding AdvanceCure to the interior of the booth vastly improves the productivity of the equipment. AdvanceCure introduces controlled turbulence into the paint booth during the flash-off and cure cycles to rapidly draw vapors out of the painted surfaces. This increased airflow dramatically reduces the amount of time required for each paint job, and in turn, increases the profitability of your body shop. AdvanceCure speeds curing of both solvent-based and waterborne paints, so you can be sure that your finishing operation will improve today, and well into the future.
