How a Chocolate Spray Booth Works – And Why the KADZAMA Spray Booth Is Ideal for Chocolatiers

Imagine the scene: you’re airbrushing vibrant cocoa butter colors onto artisan chocolates, and fine droplets of cocoa butter are drifting beyond your workpiece. Without proper containment, this overspray can settle on every surface – coating your kitchen in a sticky film and even contaminating other confections. This is where a chocolate spray booth becomes a game-changer. In this article, we’ll explain how a spray booth works (in easy-to-understand terms) and why the KADZAMA spray booth stands out as the ideal solution for small chocolatiers, bean-to-bar artisans, and mid-sized confectionery manufacturers.

What Is a Chocolate Spray Booth?

A chocolate spray booth (sometimes called a painting spray cabin) is a specialized enclosure designed to contain and capture overspray when you apply colored cocoa butter or chocolate with a spray gun or airbrush. Essentially, it’s a mini ventilated cabin that keeps your workspace clean while you achieve beautiful, uniform chocolate coatings.

KADZAMA’s Painting Spray Cabin , for example, is built specifically for this purpose – it’s designed for evenly coloring chocolates, desserts, and molds using cocoa butter or other food-safe colorants, and it can minimize production contamination by up to 95%. In other words, a good spray booth dramatically reduces the mess and ensures a clean, efficient workflow.

How Does a Spray Booth Work to Prevent Overspray?

A spray booth operates on a simple but effective principle: strong airflow and filtration. When you turn on the booth, a powerful fan creates airflow (approximately 800 m³ of air per hour) that draws in the surrounding air from the open front of the booth. As you spray your chocolate or cocoa butter coloring, any overspray is immediately pulled away before it can settle on your room. Inside the booth, a dual-layer filter system traps the colorant particles:

• Internal Fine Filter: A fine mesh or HEPA-like filter inside the booth captures the smallest cocoa butter droplets and pigment particles. This ensures that the air blowing out of the booth is clean and free of mess.
• External Disposable Filter: In front of the main filter, there’s often a disposable pre-filter (a thin, replaceable filter pad). This catches most of the cocoa butter and chocolate overspray before it even reaches the fine filter

Once the overspray is captured, the booth recirculates or safely exhausts the filtered air back into the room. The result? A spotless workspace free from colored cocoa butter dust and contamination.

Ideal for Cocoa Butter Spraying in Artisan Chocolate Work

The KADZAMA spray booth is specifically engineered for cocoa butter-based spraying – whether you're decorating bonbons, cakes, or glazes. Its filters and fan are built to handle the oily, viscous nature of cocoa butter and edible colorants, keeping overspray contained and surfaces clean.

This enables small and mid-sized confectioners to achieve professional-grade finishes without needing a separate room or complex ventilation systems. Even in compact kitchens, spraying becomes a clean and efficient process.
