India’s most experienced paint booth manufacturer since 1985, based in Thane, Maharashtra.
About Paint Booths
Paint Booth has been advocated throughout industry as the most efficient method of filtering paint overspray. At the same time, a Paint Booth effectively prevents overspray from reaching the surrounding area. Autocoat Engineering is specialised in the manufacture of all kinds of Paint Booths — featuring various booth models and specialising in custom designs for unique paint booth applications.
Paint Booths are used to increase the efficiency of operators, reduce dust problems, reduce overspray problems, address paint dust, increase corrosion resistance of the product being painted, and play a big role in removal of waste spray paint and the sludge formed by it.
Paint Booth helps in adding value to the final product, as it is the last operation in queue. Products painted from a clean paint booth normally have a higher commercial value than those painted in an open area. Paint Booth is the only equipment by which operator health problems can be avoided — and use of masks in the paint booth further improves operator health.
Why Use a Paint Booth?
With Autocoat Engineering’s vast experience in paint, Painting Plants, Curing Ovens, Continuous Production Plants and Pretreatment Plants — all painting-related problems can be solved with a customised approach:
Operator Efficiency & Health
Adequate exhaust keeps the breathing zone clean and fume-free. Use of masks in the paint booth further improves operator health, comfort and sustained productivity over longer shifts.
Overspray & Dust Control
Paint Booth effectively captures overspray paint particles, preventing them from settling on wet painted surfaces and eliminating surrounding air pollution inside and outside the factory.
Fire Risk Elimination
Washing action and adequate exhaust minimise escape of flammable solvent along with exhaust air — significantly reducing the risk of fire in and around the spray painting area.
Higher Product Value
Products painted from a clean paint booth command a higher commercial value than those painted in open areas. Paint finish quality directly impacts customer satisfaction and rejection rates.
Types of Paint Booths
Autocoat manufactures two main draft configurations, each available in water wash and dry back variants:
Side Draft Paint Booth
Small & lightweight componentsIdeal for small or lightweight components where painting is done standing in one fixed position. Available in both Water Wash and Dry Back configurations.
- Effective overspray removal from breathing zone
- Clean air supply to operator at all times
- Water wash action minimises pollution
- Eliminates fire risk from solvent fumes
- Low maintenance & running cost
Down Draft Paint Booth
Heavy & large componentsFor heavy components, the Down Draft Water Wash Paint Booth is ideal — the operator can paint the job by moving all around it for full 360° coverage.
- 360° access — operator moves around job
- Ideal for pumps, motors, valves & engines
- Effective vertical downward airflow pattern
- Complete pigment, resin & solvent separation
- Available with monorail & hoist for heavy loads
Water Wash Paint Booth
All paint types – pumpless designEngineered for maximum efficiency — no pumps, filters or nozzles. Washing action ensures complete separation of pigment, resin and solvent from overspray.
- All water-base & solvent-based paints
- Epoxy, alkyd, acrylic & polyurethane
- Reduced maintenance expenses
- Compliant with pollution norms
- Batch & conveyorised production lines
Dry Back Paint Booth
Non-sticky paints – lowest costSuitable for non-sticky overspray paints like Air Dry and Quick Drying PU paints — with specialty multi-level metal baffle filtration for the lowest running cost.
- Multi-level metal baffle filtration
- Amazingly low filter replacement cost
- Meets Particulate Matter pollution norms
- No ETP required
- Lower capital cost
