Industries / AEROSPACE
Aerospace Manufacturing & Finishing Solutions.
From aircraft and component spray booths to process ovens, vacuum systems, dust collection, and compressed air, Southern Booth & Equipment helps aerospace manufacturers and maintenance facilities select, install, and support the systems behind their work.
Built around your operation
One Partner for the Systems Behind Your Aerospace Operation.
A full-aircraft refinishing facility and a precision-component production area have different needs. SBE starts with what you manufacture or maintain, the processes involved, and the requirements of your facility. We help bring equipment selection, installation, and long-term support together for aircraft manufacturers, component suppliers, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities.

01
AIRCRAFT & COMPONENT FINISHING
Aircraft & Component Spray Booths
Finishing booths and ventilation for aircraft, components, and assemblies of different sizes.
Details
Create a finishing environment around the aircraft, parts, and assemblies you work on. From dedicated component booths to full-aircraft enclosures, SBE helps match the equipment to coating materials, part dimensions, access, airflow, filtration, and specified operating conditions. Paint mixing and supporting ventilation are considered as part of the finishing area.
Applicable equipment
Aircraft and component spray booths, paint mix rooms, air make-up systems, exhaust ductwork, and application-specific filtration.
SBE support
Application and layout review, equipment selection, installation, airflow evaluation, maintenance, repairs, and upgrades.

02
COMPOSITE PROCESSING & CNC
Vacuum for Composites & CNC Workholding
Application-specific vacuum equipment for composite bagging, infusion, and CNC table hold-down.
Details
Support vacuum bagging, resin infusion, and CNC table hold-down with vacuum equipment selected for each process. SBE considers required vacuum level, pumping capacity, process conditions, filtration, and piping. Infusion and workholding are evaluated separately rather than assuming that one pump configuration or shared supply suits every application.
Applicable equipment
Vacuum pumps, dedicated or centralized vacuum systems, inlet filtration, process-appropriate traps, and vacuum piping.
SBE support
Application review, pump selection, system installation, troubleshooting, maintenance, and replacement planning.

03
DRYING, CURING & PROCESS HEATING
Industrial Ovens & Process Heating
Industrial ovens matched to drying, adhesive curing, coatings, and composite-processing requirements.
Details
Match the oven to your drying, adhesive-curing, coating-curing, or composite-processing requirements. SBE considers part and load dimensions, operating temperature, cycle requirements, production volume, and facility utilities. The focus is the thermal process itself—not only an oven that accompanies a paint or powder coating operation.
Applicable equipment
Batch and process ovens, including cabinet, walk-in, and pass-through configurations selected for the application.
SBE support
Application review, equipment selection, layout and utility coordination, installation, startup support, maintenance, and repairs.

04
SURFACE PREPARATION & DUST CONTROL
Cutting, Sanding & Composite Trimming
Dust capture for composite trimming, routing, grinding, and surface-preparation tasks.
Details
Capture dust at sanding, grinding, routing, and trimming operations. SBE helps plan collection around the tools, equipment, workpieces, and materials involved. Composite dust, metal dust, and residue from existing coatings are reviewed for their specific capture and handling requirements rather than treated as interchangeable collection applications.
Applicable equipment
Dust collectors, downdraft tables, source-capture hoods, tool extraction, ductwork, and application-specific filtration.
SBE support
Equipment and capture-point surveys, system planning, equipment selection, installation, filter service, and maintenance.

05
FABRICATION & MACHINING AIR QUALITY
Weld Fume & Machining Mist Collection
Separate capture solutions for component-welding fume and machining-generated oil or coolant mist.
Details
Address welding fume from component fabrication and oil or coolant mist from machining with equipment suited to each contaminant. SBE helps plan capture at the workstation or machine, considering the process, operating schedule, access needs, and filtration requirements. Welding fume and machining mist are treated as distinct applications.
Applicable equipment
Weld-fume extraction arms, portable or centralized fume systems, machine-mounted or centralized mist collectors, ductwork, and filtration.
SBE support
Application review, equipment selection, installation, filter replacement, troubleshooting, and maintenance.

06
PLANT UTILITIES & PRODUCTION SUPPORT
Compressed Air for Production & Finishing
Compressors, air treatment, storage, and distribution for production tools and finishing equipment.
Details
Supply pneumatic tools, spray equipment, and production machinery with compressed air planned around demand and point-of-use requirements. SBE considers pressure, capacity, storage, air treatment, and distribution—not just the compressor. New systems and upgrades are planned around the equipment and operating conditions in your facility.
Applicable equipment
Air compressors, dryers, receivers, filtration, drains, and facility compressed-air piping.
SBE support
Layout planning, product selection, installation, and modifications.

From planning through long-term support
We Design. We Build.
We Keep You Running.
One partner for the equipment, the installation, and the support that follows.
1
Design & Planning
Start with your processes, materials, operating demands, and facility constraints. We help select equipment, define responsibilities, and coordinate the project with your team and the equipment manufacturers.
2
Installation & Integration
Bring equipment, ductwork, piping, utility coordination, and startup support together within the agreed project scope. Plan access and installation sequencing around the needs of your facility.
3
Maintenance & Repairs
Support the systems your operation depends on with preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, replacement filters, and equipment-specific service.
4
Upgrades & Facility Changes
Adapt to new programs, increased production, and changing layouts with equipment upgrades, system modifications, relocations, and decommissioning of systems being replaced.
Support for existing facilities
Already Have the Equipment?
Start With Support.
You do not need a new hangar or a major capital project to work with SBE. We help aerospace facilities maintain existing spray booths, ovens, compressors, vacuum pumps, and collection systems, address recurring equipment problems, and plan practical upgrades.
Maintenance built around your equipment.
Through our Preferred Maintenance Program, service can be organized around your equipment, operating demands, and maintenance needs.
Start with an existing system, a recurring problem, or an upcoming service need.
