With 35+ years of experience working with leading pump manufacturers across India — including KSB Pumps, IDEX Corporation and Kishor Pumps — Autocoat provides purpose-built spray booths and conveyorised pump painting lines. Based in Thane, Maharashtra — India’s most trusted Paint Booth for Pump manufacturer since 1985.
Pumps & Industry Overview
A pump is a device that moves fluids — liquids, gases or sludge — by mechanical action. This mechanical action can be reciprocating or rotary motion, and consumes energy to perform mechanical work moving the fluid. There are many different types of pumps available in the market, and the paint applied over the pump also depends on the type of application.
The application mainly includes the type of fluid to be pumped, the distance the fluid is to be moved, and the quantity required over a particular time frame. However, it can be complicated to accurately identify what kind of pump must be selected — identification of the pump can be done through its design as well as its position.
Autocoat Engineering has a long experience and expertise in supplying paint shops for electric motors and pumps. We wish to introduce our company in the field of manufacturing of Spray Booths for Pumps for painting pumps in the right way. For any painting line, process development is very important — once the process is set, quality improvement can easily be achieved.
Pump Painting Process & Surface Preparation
The paint applied to pump components must have excellent resistance to various chemicals, moisture and salts in the atmosphere. Before any paint film is applied, surface preparation is a must. Pumps have multiple components — cast iron, EN8, shafts, stainless steel — and each part needs to be treated separately due to its metallurgic properties. Some components like shafts are to be kept with unpainted surfaces so that they do not lose their mechanical properties.
Certain pump component surfaces must remain unpainted to retain their functional and mechanical properties. These include: Anodized Aluminium Grounding Pads, Brass Machined Surfaces, Bronze, Motor Leads, Chromium Plated Metals, Porcelain Enamel Finishes, Copper, Rubber, Galvanized Steel, Stainless Steel, and Glass. Identifying these unpainted areas correctly before painting is a critical step in any pump painting process.
Four Stages of Pump Painting
Autocoat’s pump paint booth process follows a structured four-stage workflow to ensure maximum paint adhesion, long-lasting protection and a professional finish on all pump components:
Conveyorised Pump Painting & Material Handling
Autocoat has supplied many pump paint booths as well as conveyorised pump painting lines, which are running almost on a 3-shift basis trouble-free. We have designed, developed and manufactured Slat Conveyor systems for heavy assembled pump painting. Conveyorised pump painting is very fast and economical, making it the preferred choice for high-volume pump manufacturers.
Autocoat has also developed industrial pump painting with monorail handling equipment for heavy pumps (centrifugal pumps) with a heavy-duty slat conveyor for transit. This method enhances the capability of the painter to lift, lower and also rotate the heavy pumps during painting. Our Pump Spray Booths are very efficient and match the Pollution Board norms.
Training sessions are conducted by Autocoat to educate painters and subordinates to get maximum productivity and effective maintenance from their pump painting lines. Our engineers visit client sites to ensure optimal booth performance, correct spray gun selection, and proper paint film thickness measurement — helping pump manufacturers achieve consistent, high-quality finishes every shift.
Autocoat Pump Paint Booth – Key Features
Autocoat’s Paint Booths for Pump Painting incorporate the following proven design features:
- Purpose-Built for Pump ComponentsDesigned for electric pumps, centrifugal pumps, pump castings, housings, impellers and assembled pump units of all sizes.
- Conveyorised & Batch ConfigurationsSlat conveyor pump painting lines for high-volume production; batch paint booths for large heavy-frame centrifugal pumps.
- Jig-Based Painting for Small PumpsJig systems allow multiple small pump castings to be painted simultaneously, achieving precise DFT (micron) control with the correct spray gun selection.
- Monorail Material HandlingHeavy-duty monorail handling equipment enables painters to lift, lower and rotate heavy assembled centrifugal pumps for full-surface paint coverage.
- Pollution Board CompliantPump spray booths are designed to meet Indian Pollution Board norms with efficient overspray capture and multi-layer baffle filter systems.
- 3-Shift Trouble-Free OperationAutocoat’s pump painting lines are built for continuous industrial use — running reliably on 3-shift production schedules at leading pump manufacturers.
Compliance & Safety Standards
A correctly designed and installed Autocoat Pump Paint Booth fulfils all of the following:
Operator Safety
Controlled airflow continuously moves solvent fumes and paint overspray away from the painter’s breathing zone, meeting OSHA occupational safety requirements for spray painting operations.
Fire Safety
Efficient extraction of flammable solvent vapours from the pump painting enclosure eliminates fire risk in and around the spray painting area, meeting fire safety norms.
Pollution Norms
Autocoat’s multi-layer baffle and filter system meets Particulate Matter pollution norms as per Indian Pollution Control Board regulatory requirements for industrial paint booths.
Paint Finish Quality
Controlled airflow in the pump painting enclosure ensures a high-quality, dust-free finish with no overspray contamination on wet painted pump surfaces — improving final product appearance and protection.
