OIL SPRAY BOOTH (OIL BOOTH)
OIL BOOTH is newer application of spraying oil instead of dip-oiling. OIL BOOTH are necessary for automobile parts or other components to spray oil in an enclosed chamber to protect them from Temporary corrosion i.e. prevention of components say for 30 days or 60 days or more In OIL BOOTH, high powered exhaust system to carry excess sprayed oil is exhausted to reduce TLVC (Threshold Limited Value) and thus will reduce fire hazard and can give operator comfort for breathing. Second major aspect of using an Oil Spray Booth is how to recover & recycle oil for economies of oiling cost. Oil Spraying Booths have become a very important necessity for company which want to shift raw components or finished components from one factory to the other, thus to reduce rust or oxidation process , when the product is in transit. We make customize Oil Spraying Booth design and oil spraying solution to suit the need of customer.
Speciality of Autocoat OIL SPRAY BOOTH is
Prevents coating defects due to adhesion of mist overspray, coverage is Improved & larger production volume possible.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an oil booth used for?
An oil booth is a specialised spray booth for applying rust-protection oils, anti-corrosion coatings and underbody oil sprays on metal components — widely used in automotive, defence and engineering manufacturing where oil-based corrosion protection replaces conventional paint for storage, dispatch or extreme-environment service.
Which industries need an oil spray booth?
Automotive (vehicle underbody coating), defence vehicle manufacturing, structural steel fabrication, valve and pump foundries, agricultural implements, marine equipment and any metal product needing oil-based anti-corrosion treatment before long-term storage or export dispatch in harsh environments.
How is an oil booth different from a paint booth?
Oil booths handle oil-based mists rather than solvent paints. They use specialised oil-coalescing mist filters, drip-collection trays at floor level, oil-resistant ducting and material seals. Booth electricals are matched to the typically lower flammability of rust-prevention oils versus thinners and solvent paints.
What types of oil are sprayed in these booths?
Rust-preventive (RP) oils, wax-based corrosion inhibitors, anti-rust dewatering fluids, underbody bitumen, dinitrol-class long-life cavity coatings and water-displacing oils. Booth design and filter media are tuned to the specific oil viscosity, spray atomisation and curing behaviour.
Are oil booths used for vehicle underbody coating?
Yes. Vehicle underbody oil and bitumen coating is one of the most common applications. The booth includes a lift platform or service pit for spraying the chassis underside, plus overhead mist extraction and floor-level drip collection so operators can move freely under the vehicle while maintaining safe air quality.
What safety measures does an oil booth need?
Oil-resistant ducting, bunded drip trays for spillage containment, fire-rated electricals, sprinkler provisions and operator PPE — solvent gloves, organic-vapour respirators, oil-resistant aprons. Floor layout includes dedicated spillage zones and approved oil disposal routing.
How is mist captured in an oil booth?
Multi-stage mist capture — coarse pre-filter for large droplets, oil coalescer pads to merge fine mist into drainable liquid, then high-efficiency final filters before exhaust. Coalesced oil drips into collection trays for recycling or disposal via PCB-approved hazardous waste channels.
Can oil booths be portable or fixed?
Both configurations are available. Fixed booths suit high-volume continuous operations like assembly-line vehicle underbody coating. Portable units on castors with flexible exhaust suit occasional underbody coating in service workshops or aftermarket facilities. Autocoat builds both based on client throughput needs.
What is the cost of an oil spray booth?
The cost of an oil spray booth varies depending on size, type, and automation. Key factors include booth dimensions, mist filter grade, oil heating provisions, conveyor or lift integration, fire-safety package and any specialised exhaust treatment. Contact us or send enquiry for exact cost.
Does Autocoat customise oil booths for specific oil types?
Yes. Autocoat tunes booth airflow rates, filter media composition, ducting material grade and electrical safety class to the specific oil chemistry — whether RP oils, wax, dinitrol cavity coatings or underbody bitumen — based on viscosity, atomisation behaviour and flash point characteristics.
