Pre Station CT Prep A1 Automotive Prep Station Featuring Rear Extraction Plenum and Sliding PVC Curtains for Dust Control

Introduction:

The CT-Prep A2 is our best-selling standard model. Unlike the economy version, this station sits on a 300mm raised galvanized steel basement, allowing for true vertical downdraft airflow. This design effectively captures heavy sanding dust through the floor grates. It features a high-quality plenum chamber made of cold-rolled steel and galvanized roof panels for durability.

Technical Specification Sheet

PVC Curtain Enclosure Unlike a fixed booth, the Prep Station uses sliding PVC curtains.

• Convenience: Easily slide curtains open to move cars in and out quickly.

• Visibility: Transparent windows allow the manager to monitor work progress.

• Durability: Resistant to solvents and wear.

Energy Saving Strategy Don't turn on your 15kW Paint Booth just to spray a bumper with primer. Use the Prep Station (5.5kW) instead. It creates a cleaner environment than the open shop floor but costs a fraction of the price to operate.

Q: Can I spray the final topcoat (Color/Clear) in this Prep Station? A: Technically yes, but we do not recommend it for high-quality finishes. The Prep Station is not a sealed environment like a Spray Booth, so there is a higher risk of dust. It is best used for Primer and Putty.

Q: Does it need a metal base (basement)? A: No. The most popular model is the "Rear Draft" version. It sits on your existing flat concrete floor and sucks air out through a filter box on the back wall. This saves money on ramps and steel bases.

Q: Can you make a station for 3 cars at once? A: Yes, we can connect multiple units together (side-by-side) to create a multi-bay sanding line.

Q: Is the fan unit noisy? A: We use a dynamic balanced centrifugal fan with a belt drive, which keeps noise levels below 75dB.
