'ECO'Ultra Plus 1 Downdraft Paint Booth

Simply the Best.

Ultra Plus 1 is the ultimate downdraft spray. No other spray booth can match the Ultra Plus 1’s levels of production capability, fuel and energy efficiency, contamination control, and ease of operation. Simply put, if your shop will accept nothing but the best, the Ultra Plus 1 is the solution.

Designed to meet the needs of today’s high production waterborne body shops, the ECO Ultra Plus 1 is energy-efficient, ecologically friendly and the solution to waterborne
coatings. The ECO Ultra Plus 1 features:

• GFS’ patented Controlled Air-flow ceiling (CAF) for optimized downdraft airflow
• SmartCure control panel with programmable cure cycles for one-touch operation
• High-Efficiency direct-fired heat system with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s) and Economy mode for lowest possible energy usage and maximum fuel conservation
• AdvanceCure Accelerated Airflow System for your optimum performance with low-VOC
and waterborne coatings

These features all work together to provide the highest quality finishes, the shortest production times, and the lowest operating costs while achieving ecological responsibility.

ECO' Minimizes Costs to Maximize Profits

Every second of unnecessary power consumption costs you money. Ultra Plus 1’s engineered energy saving features keeps your operating costs to a minimum. By utilizing Variable Frequency Drives on the intake and exhaust motors, the Ultra Plus 1 eliminates power consumption spikes when the heat system starts up, and operates at peak efficiencies keeing your booth balanced with optimum airflow. In addition, when the LOGIC control panel automatically switches to the energy-saving ‘Economy Mode’ when the operator in the booth has stopped spraying, a cost savings of up to 60% in power usage and up to 75% in fuel savings is achieved.

Save Energy

GFS ECO is all about reducing energy consumption and providing a ‘green’ solution for the refinish industry. By incorporating the latest in energy-saving technologies, such as VFD’s and SmartCure, as well as our AdvanceCure Accelerated Airflow System for waterborne paints, the Ultra Plus 1 achieves the fastest drying times, the lowest operating costs, with as little environmental impact as possible.

Standard Features:

• 16 high-efficiency 6-tube light fixtures
- 8 lights integrated into CAF Ceiling, 4 sidewall lights, 4 corner 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' Controled Air Flow ceiling:

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 on the AdvanceCure towers or lights, and help keep the booth clean and contaminant-free.

AdvanceCure Acelerated Airflow System

. 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.

AdvanceCure System Includes:
• 4 x AdvanceCure towers with 6 adjustable air nozzles
each, and integrated light fixtures
• High-efficiency high-volume air blowers
• Independent tower control

LOGIC Touch-screen Control Panel:

The nerve center of the Ultra Plus 1, the touch-screen LOGIC 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. Integrated AdvanceCure controls and automatic Economy Mode functions ensure that all the pieces of the Ultra Plus 1 work together for maximum productivity and unequaled energy efficiency.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)

Two Variable Frequency Drives accelerate airflow during flash-off cycles, provide energy-saving smooth motor starts, and facilitate the operation of the booth in ‘Economy Mode’. This Economy Mode reduces energy and gas usage while the operator is not spraying, then switches back to regular operation when spraying resumes.

Ultra Plus 1 Paint Booth Heater

Ultra Plus 1's heat group features a 1.5 million BTU burner, 15hp high-efficiency direct-drive motors, and a Twin VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) system for smooth motor startup and optimum air management. By utilizing VFD's, Ultra Plus 1 can enter 'Economy Mode' automatically when the operator stops spraying. By controlling the speed of the motors for optimum performance, VFD's provide huge energy savings that were previously unattainable.
