Small Conveyor Plant
Conveyor Painting Plant are used for painting of components for mass productions & generally upgraded from batch painting to conveyor painting because of following distinct advantages
In conveyor painting plant, each part moves through the manufacturing process at the same rate. If graphed, conveyor painting would be a straight line moving from start to finish. There is no wait time or down time because progress is happening constantly. Conveyor painting is well-suited for manufacturers with a large volume of parts, as they do not be required to manually move the parts into the next phase of the finishing process. However, it is important to note that the continuous flow of a conveyor system is not suited for lines containing parts of different size & shape.
Typically small conveyor painting plant is designed with Autocoat Dry Back Paint Booth, Flash Off Enclosure , Accelerated Drying Oven with conveyor speed ranging from 0.3mtrs per minute to 1 mtr. Per minute for economical pricing.

If you wish to expand your paint shop and space is a problem, it will be interesting to investigate to go for conveyor painting plant installation. Another reason can be to introduce Accelerated Drying instead of Air Drying for space saving, consistent quality even during monsoon, better productivity.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a small conveyor coating plant?
A small conveyor coating plant is a compact powder or paint coating production line with an overhead chain conveyor moving parts through pretreatment tanks, application booth and curing oven — sized for SME workloads of 200–500 components per shift in a small floor footprint.
Who is a small conveyor plant for?
Small and mid-size manufacturers of fan motors, electrical panels, two-wheeler frames, agricultural implement parts, fitness equipment, fabricated steel components and SME-scale OEMs who need efficient automated coating but at lower capital expense than full-scale automotive-grade plants.
What components fit through a small conveyor plant?
Components up to typically 600×600×900 mm (W×D×H) and 25–50 kg per hook. Small conveyor plants handle motor housings, valve bodies, electrical enclosures, machine brackets, fasteners, fabricated parts and similar SME-scale industrial components needing painted or powder-coated finish.
How big is a small conveyor coating plant?
Floor footprint is typically 25–40 m² total. Conveyor track length 30–60 m. Overall plant dimensions 5–8 m wide × 6–12 m long including pretreatment tanks, booth section and curing oven — fitting easily into existing SME factory sheds without major civil work.
What conveyor speed do these plants run at?
Typical overhead chain speed 0.5–1.5 m/min. Cycle time per part from load to unload is 30–60 minutes depending on pretreatment dwell time, paint application and oven cure schedule. Speed is matched to your specific paint chemistry and finish requirements.
Can small plants do powder coating?
Yes. Small powder coating conveyor plants are very popular for SME operations — powder application is naturally suited to compact lines because of its high transfer efficiency and powder recovery. Manual powder gun stations or single-axis automatic gun systems work well at this scale.
What is the typical layout of a small conveyor plant?
Two common layouts: linear (load → pretreatment → drying-off oven → paint or powder booth → curing oven → cooling → unload) or U-shape (same flow but folded back so one operator can handle both load and unload positions for low-staff SME operation).
Are small conveyor plants energy efficient?
Yes. Compact ovens with 100 mm rockwool insulation, VFD-driven blowers, optional heat-recovery exchangers and multi-zone temperature control keep operating costs low compared to large continuous coating lines. Smaller heated volume means lower fuel or electricity bills per part painted.
What is the cost of a small conveyor coating plant?
The cost of a small conveyor coating plant varies depending on size, type, and automation. Key factors include daily throughput, pretreatment tank configuration, conveyor length, oven and booth automation, and any emission-compliance features. Contact us or send enquiry for exact cost.
Can SMEs upgrade to a small conveyor plant?
Yes. SMEs migrating from manual painting to a small conveyor plant typically see 3–5× improvement in daily throughput, dramatically improved finish consistency and lower per-part paint cost. Typical investment payback through productivity and material savings is 18–30 months.
