Coating Plant Projects

A turnkey coating plant project is a complete painting or powder-coating line delivered ready-to-run — pretreatment tanks, conveyor, paint or powder booth, drying or curing oven, exhaust, electrical panels, control system and operator training. Autocoat takes single-point responsibility from design through commissioning, so you sign off one line item.

A powder coating plant is designed around component size, daily throughput, hanging method and powder type. Standard layout: load station → 7- or 9-tank pretreatment → drying-off oven → powder booth → curing oven → cooling zone → unload. Autocoat's engineers size each section after a site survey to match your floor space and production rate.

A pretreatment system typically includes degreasing, water rinse, surface activation, phosphating, passivation and DM water rinse — usually 7 or 10 tanks for ferrous parts and 5 tanks for aluminium. Autocoat builds spray, dip and hybrid pretreatment systems with MS-FRP-lined tanks, dosing pumps and PLC control.

Dust-free spray painting uses positive-pressure clean-room booths with HEPA-filtered intake and laminar airflow to keep airborne dust below 5 microns — essential for high-gloss automotive and aerospace finishes. Autocoat designs dust-free booths for OEM body shops, instrument panels, and premium furniture finishing.

Yes. Autocoat specialises in revamping older painting plants — replacing inefficient blowers, upgrading filters, adding emission-compliant scrubbers, retrofitting LED lighting, modernising control panels and integrating energy-saving heat recovery. Revamping cost depends on plant size, scope of upgrade and existing condition, and typically extends life by 8–10 years. Contact us for a revamping quote.

Small batch paint shops are commissioned in 8-10 weeks. Mid-size powder coating plants take 12-16 weeks. Large conveyorised lines for OEMs run 20-26 weeks from PO to handover. Civil work and utilities run in parallel. Autocoat shares a project schedule on Day 1 so you can plan production ramp-up confidently.

A small conveyor coating plant is a compact powder or paint line with an overhead chain conveyor moving parts through pretreatment, booth and oven — sized for SME workloads of 200-500 components per shift. Floor footprint is typically 25-40 m² and capex is much lower than full automotive lines.

Industries needing surface coating plants include white-goods manufacturers, electrical panel and switchgear makers, fan and motor OEMs, automotive component suppliers, valve and pump manufacturers, two-wheeler frame plants, agricultural implements, fitness equipment, and architectural aluminium fabricators.

The cost of a powder coating plant varies depending on size, type, and automation. Key factors include daily throughput, pretreatment tank count, conveyor length, oven capacity, level of automation and any clean-room or emission-compliance features. Autocoat's free site survey scopes the right configuration for your needs. Contact us or send enquiry for exact cost.

Autocoat designs the coating plant and provides civil drawings showing foundation pads, drains, exhaust stacks, panel rooms and utility points. Actual civil execution is usually done by the client's contractor under Autocoat supervision, but we can also offer a full civil-included scope on request.
