Ardent Aviation Expands Capabilities with New Dalby Genesis Q Spray Booth

At Ardent Aviation, we always look for ways to enhance our services, improve efficiency, and deliver superior customer results. Our latest investment, the Dalby Genesis Q Spray Booth, is a game-changer in our aircraft interior refinishing capabilities. Installed and fully operational in Hangar 6 at Hawarden Airport, this cutting-edge spray booth marks a significant milestone in our journey as a growing aviation business.

From Order to Operation – The Journey of Our New Spray Booth

Purchasing equipment and bringing the Dalby Genesis Q Booth to life at Ardent Aviation wasn’t just about purchasing equipment—it was a carefully planned project aimed at increasing our capacity, efficiency, and quality in aircraft interior refinishing.

Step 1: Selecting the Right Spray Booth

As our business grew, so did the demand for high-quality refinishing of aircraft interior components, including overhead bins, bulkheads, galley units, and seating elements. We needed a modern, high-specification spray booth to handle the unique challenges of aviation interior coatings. The Dalby Genesis Q Booth stood out for its precision, reliability, and energy efficiency, making it the perfect fit for our needs.

Step 2: Delivery & Construction

Once we placed the order, the real work began. A dedicated team prepared Hangar 6 to accommodate the new booth, ensuring the layout, ventilation, and electrical systems were ready for installation. The booth’s modular design allowed for a smooth setup, and over several days, it was constructed piece by piece, transforming a space into a fully functional spray booth.

Step 3: Setting It to Work

After installation, the booth underwent extensive testing and calibration to ensure optimal airflow, temperature control, and paint application precision. Our team received specialist training on the system, mastering its Press & Go control system, Flash Off mode, and Dalby EcoSave energy-saving technology. With everything in place, we were ready to put it to work.

How Our New Spray Booth Enhances Our Capabilities

With the Dalby Genesis Q Booth now fully operational, we’ve significantly improved our aircraft interior refinishing process, offering key benefits to our customers:

✈ Higher Quality Finishes – The booth’s advanced airflow and temperature control ensure a flawless finish, reducing rework and delivering premium results on every component.

⏳ Faster Turnaround Times – The Flash Off mode accelerates drying times for water-based paints, minimizing aircraft downtime and getting components back into service quickly and efficiently.

⚡ Improved Energy Efficiency – The Dalby EcoSave system optimizes energy usage, reducing costs while maintaining peak performance.

🔧 Versatility for a Range of Interior Components – The spacious booth allows us to work on various aircraft interior parts, from small cabin fittings to large structural components.

A New Era for Ardent Aviation

Installing our Dalby Genesis Q Spray Booth is more than just an equipment upgrade—it represents our commitment to excellence, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
