Industrial Paint Booth Fire Suppression Systems
Specialized Fire Protection for Spray and Finishing Operations
Industrial paint and spray booths present elevated fire risks due to flammable vapors, solvents, and overspray. Pye-Barker Fire & Safety provides engineered fire suppression systems designed specifically for industrial paint booths and finishing operations. From system design and installation to inspection and ongoing service, our solutions help control fires quickly, support code compliance, and protect employees, equipment, and production continuity.
Hazard-Specific Suppression Design
Paint booths present unique fire risks from flammable vapors, solvents, and overspray. Fire suppression systems are engineered specifically for spray and finishing environments to detect and suppress fires quickly within enclosed spaces. This targeted design helps control fires at the source and reduce the risk of spread.
Code Compliance and Operational Safety
Paint booth fire suppression systems must meet NFPA standards and local fire code requirements to remain compliant. Proper system design, installation, and documentation help facilities pass inspections and maintain safe working conditions. This compliance-focused approach supports employee safety and uninterrupted operations.
Ongoing Inspection, Service, and Reliability
Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to prevent paint booth fire suppression systems function properly when needed. Routine service verifies detection lines, suppression agents, and system components. Ongoing support reduces the risk of system failure, minimizes downtime, and protects equipment and production continuity.
