Dry Back Paint Booth & Dry
Spray Booth – Autocoat Engineering
Autocoat Engineering has designed and developed a new series of Dry Back Paint Booths with amazingly low running cost of filter replacement — meeting pollution norms with a specialty 4-level metal baffle system. India’s most experienced Dry Back Paint Booth manufacturer since 1985, based in Thane, Maharashtra.
About Dry Back Paint Booths
The Dry Back Spray Paint Booth is also called a Low Cost Spray Booth since it is cheaper to purchase and operate compared to a Water Type Paint Booth. Autocoat has designed and developed a new series of Dry Back Paint Booths that address a major pain point in Indian industry — the costly replacement of standard coarse filters, which is a big hurdle for management and leads to many competitor booths lying idle or performing poorly.
These booths are especially popular for painting applications with low paint consumption (around 20 litres/shift) as well as in laboratory, R&D and development environments. Autocoat’s Dry Back Spray Booths are designed with cleanable and removable metal baffles which arrest most of the paint overspray — leaving behind clear, less smoky air towards the exhauster.
Autocoat Engineering is the most experienced Dry Paint Booth Manufacturer in India since 35 years — with wide experience in manufacturing Dry Back Paint Booths across different material handling configurations, different product sizes and different production volumes.
Autocoat New Series – Key Features
Autocoat’s new series of Dry Back Paint Booth design incorporates the following innovations:
- Specialty 4-Level FiltrationMulti-stage metal baffle system for thorough overspray capture at every level.
- Low Paint Consumption UseSuitable for PU and Air Drying (non-sticky) paints with consumption around 20 ltrs/shift.
- Amazingly Low Filter CostSpecialty metal baffle design ensures filter replacement cost is kept amazingly low.
- Meets Pollution NormsFully compliant with Particulate Matter pollution norms — no compromise on environment.
- No ETP RequiredUsed filters to be handed to ETP agents — no effluent treatment plant needed on-site.
- Lower Capital CostCapital cost is lower than a Water Wash Booth — ideal for budget-conscious operations.
Autocoat Metal Baffle vs Competitor Coarse Filter
The most critical difference between Autocoat’s Dry Back Paint Booth and competitors’ designs lies in the filtration method:
- Cleanable & removable metal baffles
- Reused after cleaning — no replacement needed
- Amazingly low maintenance cost
- Arrests most paint overspray efficiently
- Clear, less smoky air to exhauster
- Consistent performance over long periods
- Keeps production running without interruption
- Coarse filters cannot be cleaned and reused
- Choke in 1–2 weeks at 20 ltrs/shift
- Must be replaced entirely once choked
- Heavy, recurring filter replacement cost
- Choked filters restrict airflow completely
- Painter discomfort and production loss
- Many booths lie idle due to high filter cost
Costly replacement of filters is a big hurdle in Indian industries. Management does not like costly filter purchases every month — and many competitors’ paint booths lie idle or are forced to operate with poor performance as a result. Autocoat’s specialty cleanable metal baffle design solves this problem permanently, delivering amazingly low running costs for the entire lifetime of the booth.
Compliance & Safety Standards
A correctly designed and installed Autocoat Dry Back Spray Booth fulfils all of the following:
Operator Safety
Adequate exhaust ensures the breathing zone is kept free of solvent fumes and paint overspray at all times during operation.
Fire Safety
Efficient exhaust of flammable solvent vapours eliminates fire risk in and around the spray painting area.
Pollution Norms
The 4-level metal baffle filtration meets Particulate Matter pollution norms — no ETP required on-site.
Paint Finish Quality
Clean, dust-free air in the painting enclosure ensures a high-quality finish with no overspray contamination on wet surfaces.
