Running a Multi-Booth Furniture Finishing Line: How Domusindo Set Up Their Coating System
In large-scale furniture production, the finishing system is only as reliable as the equipment feeding it. When multiple spray booths draw from the same supply, pressure consistency across the line determines whether every piece comes out the same. Getting that right requires the right transfer pump, the right regulators, and a setup that keeps fluid moving steadily from storage to gun throughout the shift.
This is a look at how Domusindo, a furniture manufacturer in Indonesia, set up their finishing system using Cosmostar equipment.
The Challenge: Feeding Multiple Spray Booths From a Single Storage Area
Domusindo operates a dedicated storage and pump room that serves as the central hub for their finishing operation. From this room, coating material is transferred through supply lines to multiple spray booths on the production floor, where operators apply the finish directly to furniture pieces.
Running a system like this introduces a pressure management challenge that single-booth setups do not face. When more than one gun draws from the same supply simultaneously, fluctuations in line pressure affect spray pattern and output at each booth differently. The result is inconsistent film build across pieces, color variation between panels, and the added cost of rework.
Beyond pressure, the transfer of material from storage drums to the spray line needs to be continuous and reliable. Any interruption in fluid supply stops the booth and breaks the production rhythm.
For a furniture operation supplying export markets, where consistency requirements are strict, these are production problems that affect output quality directly.
The Setup: Centralized Storage, Transfer Pumps, Fluid Regulators, and Airless Spray Gun
The finishing system at Domusindo was built around a dedicated storage and pump room housing the drum stations and transfer pumps, with supply lines running out to each spray booth on the production floor. Three categories of Cosmostar equipment worked together across this setup.
The P0168 Transfer Pump and COSMOSTAR P0182 Transfer Pump handled material supply from the storage drums to the spray line. The P0182, powered by a 6" Compact air motor with a 3:1 pressure ratio, delivers a flow rate of up to 37.8 liters per minute, suitable for the volume demands of a multi-booth finishing operation. It handles a broad range of finishing fluids including solvent-borne and waterborne coatings, varnishes, enamels, and lacquers. The P0168 complemented the P0182 in the drum transfer setup, providing reliable fluid supply from multiple drum stations in the storage room.
At each spray booth, fluid regulators managed the pressure delivered to the spray gun. The COSMOSTAR R0921 Low Pressure Fluid Regulator controlled pressure in the circulating lines, dropping fluid pressure to the level appropriate for spray gun delivery.
COSMOSTAR R0925 High Pressure Fluid Regulator maintained consistent pressure at the spray gun inlet, keeping atomization quality stable regardless of how many booths were active at the same time. Together, the two regulators separated supply-side pressure management from delivery-side control, giving each booth more predictable spray behavior under production conditions.
At the booth, operators used Cosmostar R2006 Silver Airless Paint Spray Gun. The R2006 is designed for high-pressure applications with a maximum operating pressure of 7,250 PSI. Its lightweight and rugged construction suits continuous use in a production finishing environment, and its ability to handle high solid coatings makes it practical for the finishing materials used in furniture production.
What the Production Floor Looked Like
The storage and pump room sat adjacent to the production floor, housing the pump setup and drum stations in a dedicated space. Supply lines ran from the room out to the spray booths, with regulators installed at each booth to manage delivery pressure at the gun.
On the production floor, large furniture panels and cabinet frames moved through the finishing area in volume, with operators working simultaneously at dedicated booths along the line. Keeping the pump system centralized and separate from the spray area kept the production floor cleaner and allowed the pump setup to be serviced without disrupting ongoing finishing work.
