About Side Draft Paint Booths
As per IS 3457 (Code of Practice for Industrial Ventilation) and the Factories Act 1948, the effectiveness of the Side Draft Paint Booth is dependent upon the air draft moving in the direction of spray painting while the painter is inside. In a Side Draft Paint Booth — open from the front side — air draft moves horizontally towards the exhaust chamber, carrying overspray paint particles along with the direction of airflow away from the painter’s breathing zone.
In the Side Draft Painting Booth, the component is rotated using different devices such as a Turntable, Scissor Lift with Turntable, Rotating Hanger suspended from the top, Hoist with Rotating Hook and similar devices. With such devices, the painter remains at the same location and spray painting of all sides of the component is possible inside the Side Draft Painting Booth.
Side Draft Painting Booths are useful for small or heavy components where painting is done standing in one position. Autocoat Engineering is the most experienced Side Draft Spray Booth manufacturer in India since 35 years — with wide experience across different material handling configurations, product sizes and production volumes.

Compliance & Safety Standards
A correctly designed and installed Autocoat Side Draft Spray Booth fulfils all of the following:
🧑🔧
Operator Safety
Horizontal airflow carries solvent fumes and paint overspray away from the painter’s breathing zone at all times — meeting worker-safety provisions of the Factories Act 1948 and IS 3457.
🔥
Fire Safety
Efficient exhaust of flammable solvent vapours away from the painting zone eliminates fire risk — per NBC fire-safety provisions applicable to industrial spray painting enclosures.
🌿
Pollution Norms
The filtration system — whether dry baffle or water wash — meets Particulate Matter pollution norms as per CPCB requirements and applicable State Pollution Control Board standards.
✨
Paint Finish Quality
Clean, controlled horizontal airflow in the enclosed painting area ensures a high-quality finish with no overspray contamination on wet painted surfaces — critical for industrial components where surface quality affects product performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Side Draft Paint Booth? +
A Side Draft Paint Booth is a spray painting enclosure where air flows horizontally from the open front side towards the exhaust chamber at the rear. As per
IS 3457 and the
Factories Act 1948, this airflow moves in the direction of spray painting — carrying overspray particles away from the painter and into the exhaust chamber. The painter remains stationary while the component is rotated using devices like a turntable, scissor lift, rotating hanger or hoist with rotating hook.
What makes Autocoat’s Side Draft Booth different from competitors? +
Autocoat has 35+ years of experience manufacturing Side Draft Booths with different material handling configurations, product sizes and production volumes. Autocoat has developed special Side Draft Painting Booths with Monorail & Hoist for heavy components at production volumes of 10 to 100 components per shift — an extremely popular and well-accepted combination across Indian OEM industries. Autocoat’s booths are designed to meet IS 3457, Factories Act 1948, CPCB pollution norms and paint finish quality standards.
Which components are suitable for a Side Draft Paint Booth? +
Side Draft Paint Booths are suitable for both small and heavy industrial components — including Pumps, Electric Motors, Valves, Engines, Gear Boxes, fabricated structures and general industrial equipment. The use of rotation devices (turntable, hoist, rotating hanger) means the painter remains in a fixed position while all sides of the component can be painted efficiently.
Is a Side Draft Booth available as Dry Type or Water Wash Type? +
Yes. Autocoat Side Draft Booths are available in both Dry Type (using metal baffles or filter media to capture overspray) and Water Wash Type (using a water curtain system). The choice between Dry Type and Water Wash Type depends upon the type of paint being used and the volume of paint consumption per shift. Autocoat’s engineers will recommend the right type based on your specific requirements.
What is the price of a Side Draft Booth in India? +
Side Draft Booth price depends upon size, material handling configuration (basic turntable, monorail with hoist, etc.) and whether it is a Dry Type or Water Wash Type. Contact Autocoat Engineering at +91-7738638116 for a free customised quotation complete with an AutoCAD drawing.
