GFS Advancecure Accelerated Airflow System

Inside This Document

GFS's 8-page brochure on the AdvanceCure Accelerated Airflow System — booth airflow technology that cuts drying times roughly in half for collision repair centers. By moving air directly across painted surfaces, AdvanceCure dramatically reduces drying time for any basecoat, waterborne or solvent-based, increasing booth throughput without adding heat. Configurations and integration options for new and existing GFS booths are covered for shops chasing cycle-time gains.

ADVANCECURE ® Accelerated Airflow System globalfinishing.com • 800-848-8738 ADVANCECURE ® Accelerated Airflow System CUT DRYING TIMES IN HALF Designed to help collision repair centers be more productive, efficient and profitable, the AdvanceCure Accelerated Airflow System from Global Finishing Solutions® (GFS) greatly reduces the amount of time needed to dry any type of base coat — be it waterborne or solvent-based. As warm air rises in a paint booth, the surface temperature of the vehicle can vary by 15 degrees Fahrenheit from top to bottom. This can pose a challenge for achieving an even temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit over the entire surface of a vehicle. In a typical downdraft paint booth, this process can take up to 20 minutes. With AdvanceCure, this time can be cut in half to about eight minutes. AdvanceCure distributes heat more evenly throughout the booth and over the vehicle. By reducing the amount of time required for each paint job and promoting an even cure in less time, AdvanceCure helps put more jobs through your shop. 2 < Boundary Air Laminar Airflow < Painted Surface AdvanceCure ® OFF AdvanceCure ® ON < Controlled Turbulence Laminar Airflow < Painted Surface HOW IT WORKS When a paint booth is in spray mode, a layer of slow-moving air — known as boundary air — forms on the vehicle surface. This boundary air traps solvents and prevents the heated air from reaching the vehicle surface during cure mode, therefore slowing down the paint drying process. The key to AdvanceCure’s amazing results is the controlled turbulent airflow it creates on the surface of…
