Precision, Balance, and Intelligence — The New Standard in Spray Booth Design

In modern refinishing, the difference between an average and a perfect surface finish often comes down to one invisible factor: airflow.
At TEC NOVA Europe, we’ve redefined how air moves inside the spray booth — transforming a traditional process into an intelligent, adaptive system.

Our next-generation AI Edge Control technology constantly monitors and balances air pressure, flow rate, and temperature. Every parameter is analyzed in real time, allowing the system to make instant corrections that maintain an optimal environment for both safety and coating quality.

The Science Behind Intelligent Airflow

Traditional spray booths operate with fixed airspeed and static fan systems. This leads to unnecessary energy waste and unstable flow conditions during different phases of painting and curing.

The intelligent airflow system developed by TEC NOVA integrates:

  • Variable-speed turbofan control that adapts automatically to booth load and process stage

  • Dynamic pressure balancing between intake and exhaust sections

  • AI-based prediction of filter saturation and system compensation

  • Optimized laminar flow geometry minimizing turbulence and overspray

This precise balance ensures that air moves smoothly across the entire workspace, removing paint particles efficiently while maintaining a consistent temperature field.

Efficiency That Translates into Savings

Energy consumption is one of the largest operating costs in body shops and industrial coating facilities.
Our intelligent airflow technology directly addresses this challenge.

By combining frequency-controlled motors, recirculation modules, and smart heating logic, TEC NOVA spray booths can reduce energy usage by up to 35% without compromising performance.
The system automatically lowers fan speed during standby or flash-off periods, and re-accelerates only when needed — you use energy only when the process truly requires it.

This translates into measurable financial savings and a smaller carbon footprint, aligning with the European Green Deal objectives for sustainable manufacturing.

Data-Driven Control: AI Edge in Action

The AI Edge Control System is the heart of our intelligent booth architecture.
It continuously learns from process data — adjusting airflow profiles for each paint type, ambient condition, and operator preference.

Operators can monitor performance through a touch-based industrial interface, displaying real-time metrics like airflow velocity, pressure differentials, and filter status.
Remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance functions ensure maximum uptime and minimal manual intervention.

Every booth becomes a connected, self-optimizing system — a true step into Industry 4.0 for the paint sector.

A Cleaner Environment for People and Products

Smart airflow design is not only about performance — it’s also about health and safety.
By maintaining stable air velocity and direction, the system effectively captures overspray, reduces exposure to volatile compounds, and keeps the operator’s breathing zone clear.

The result: superior coating quality, cleaner air, and a safer workplace.

The Future of Finishing Is Intelligent

From the first concept sketches to the final spray test, TEC NOVA’s engineering philosophy is guided by one principle — every movement of air must have a purpose.

Our intelligent airflow systems redefine what a spray booth can be: not just a chamber for painting, but an active, learning environment that evolves with your workflow.

Whether you manage a compact automotive booth or a large industrial line, efficiency now begins with intelligence.
