Case Study: Rapid Deployment Paint Booth for Reusable Rocket Manufacturer

Project Overview

A reusable rocket manufacturer required a paint booth solution to support coating operations during the production of rocket components, including spray-on foam insulation (SOFI) and other aerospace coating processes. A critical requirement was speed. The booth needed to be operational in an extremely short timeframe to keep the manufacturing schedule on track.

The Challenge

• Extremely tight timeline to achieve operational status
• Large aerospace components requiring a spacious enclosure
• Management of exothermic spray processes, including SOFI application
• New roof system on facility and penetrating the roof for ventilation would void the building warranty

The Solution

Duroair engineered and delivered a 15’H x 30’W x 35’L DuroRoom™ retractable enclosure designed for rapid deployment. Because standard filtration equipment could not be delivered within the compressed timeline, Duroair’s team custom-designed the enclosure’s rear wall to integrate with third-party exhaust equipment, enabling immediate operation.

Following installation, when the third-party system proved insufficient, Duroair supplied a DuroPure™ recirculating filtration system, eliminating roof penetrations while safely managing all airborne contaminants. Additional upgrades recommended by Duroair’s installation team were subsequently added, including C1D1 lighting, a V-Groove track, and wheel systems.

System Specifications

• Enclosure: 15’H x 30’W x 35’L DuroRoom™ Retractable
• Filtration: DuroPure™ Recirculating (upgraded from third-party exhaust)
• Special Features: C1D1 Lighting, V-Groove Track & Wheel System
• Roof Penetrations: None required and building warranty preserved

The Result

• Rapid deployment booth operational within the required project timeline
• Safe containment of all aerospace coating processes including SOFI
• Zero roof penetrations with building warranty fully preserved
• Ongoing partnership subsequent orders for accessories and upgrades placed
• Scalable system upgrade path supported evolving manufacturing requirements

Why This Project Matters

This installation demonstrates Duroair’s ability to:

• Deliver solutions under extremely compressed timelines
• Engineer systems adaptable to evolving aerospace manufacturing needs
• Integrate with third-party equipment when circumstances require
• Provide long-term upgrade paths as operations grow and scale
