If you manage a spray shop in the woodworking industry, you'll know that space is often at a premium, and time even more so. The paint finish is the most critical part of the job, but it's also the final task in the production process. Logistics can get overlooked, causing bottlenecks to occur. If you want to boost production and avoid damaging finished items, work has to flow smoothly, and storage needs to be well organised.

Using an industrial paint drying rack for cabinet doors and other workpieces can change the game, saving you time, hold-ups and money.

Here's how.

They safely maximise your drying area

A spray paint drying rack allows you to stack vertically instead of using coveted floor space. You can collate finished jobs in one, tight area. Because they are designed for the job, racks provide safe storage. There's far less risk of damaging completed work and having to respray.

They allow adequate airflow for the perfect finish

When items such as cabinet doors are packed too tightly together in the drying area, it can cause curing issues and paint flaws. Well-designed drying racks allow plenty of space between stored items for adequate airflow, eradicating this problem.

They help you to stay organised to avoid bottlenecks

Most racks have wheels, making it quick and easy to move work around the spray booth without damaging the item or presenting manual handling risks. A portable drying rack also creates a mobile storage facility that you can move around the workshop to keep orders organised and safe.

The bottom line

Spray racks are an investment that will bring you a high return. They allow you to:

Speed up your production line
Reduce the risk of damage to work that would result in costly resprays
Improve spray shop health and safety
Organise your orders and space effectively
