Control Options...
Option 1 – Essential Energy Pack
Includes replacing the existing control system with a new PLC and touch screen, combined with 2 No. VSDs to control the fan speed to enable automatic idle mode.
Option 2 – Optimal Energy Pack
Includes replacing the existing control system with a new, powerful PLC and 178mm colour touch screen. 2 No. VSDs to control the fan speed to enable automatic idle mode when no activity is taking place in the booth. In addition, the control system activates Auto Recirc mode for idle and flash off modes. Auto Stand-by is used to turn the booth off when no activity is detected. The Auto-Balance feature ensures that the booth is operating at the correct cabin pressure without the need for manual balancing. The AGM bake selector is a menu of paint types with pre-programmed time and temperature combinations which makes sure the optimal cure is consistently delivered for each paint process used.
Option 3 – Optimal Energy Pack Plus QADs
QADs is an auxiliary air moving system installed within the spray booth oven. The addition of a turbulent air movement for flash off and bake cycles dramatically reduces the process times compared to conventional equipment. It also allows for bake temperatures to be set lower than a conventional oven.

LED Lighting
LED lighting increases the LUX levels within the spray booth using the same number of light fittings. AGM’s replacement lighting systems are designed to output between 1,000 LUX and 1,500 LUX depending on customers specific requirements. LED lights offer a cost saving of 60% when compared to equivalent fluorescent lighting. LED lighting also maintains consistent lighting levels which satisfy motor manufacturer approvals.
