A thermal spray booth for capacitor production is an enclosed, ventilated chamber where zinc, aluminium, tin, or copper is arc-sprayed onto the end faces of metallized film capacitor windings. The booth pulls overspray and fume away from the operator, keeps the silver-grey zinc or bright aluminium coating consistent, and can be built as an acoustic enclosure that holds noise at about 85 dBA. We are a manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of thermal spray booths for capacitors in Jodhpur, India, in manual and automatic versions.
What Is a Thermal Spray Booth for Capacitors?
A thermal spray booth for capacitor manufacturing is a ventilated enclosure for the end-spraying (metalizing) step of metallized film capacitors. Molten metal is sprayed on both end faces of the capacitor winding so it forms the electrical contact with the film layers.
The booth does three jobs at once:
- Contains overspray, dust, and fume
- Controls airflow (face velocity and duct velocity) so less zinc is wasted
- Reduces noise, if built as an acoustic enclosure
How Does a Thermal Spray Booth for Capacitor Work?
- Load the capacitor winding in the fixture or on the conveyor.
- Start the extraction: the axial fan pulls air through the hood and booth.
- Arc spray the end face: the spray gun melts zinc, aluminum wire, tin, or copper wire and sprays it at high velocity onto the capacitor end.
- Penetrate and bond: particles partly enter the pockets between film layers, making contact with the winding.
- Capture overspray: air carries the leftover metal into the filter, where it is trapped.
- Unload and move to the next step, such as heat treatment or lead attachment.
Capacitor Arc Spray System
Our booth is designed to work with a capacitor arc spray gun system made of four modules:
- Power supply
- Energy hose package
- Wire push unit
- Spray gun
What It Does
- Sprays zinc, tin, aluminium, copper and their alloys onto film capacitor ends
- Uses 1.6 mm and 2.5 mm wire as standard (other sizes on request)
- Lets you reduce the wire-melting voltage and control a narrow spray beam
- Stops and starts in under 2 seconds, saving wire and energy
- Suited to continuous production with low maintenance
Zinc, Aluminium & Tin Spray Coating on Capacitors
| Metal |
Typical colour |
Why it is used |
| Zinc |
Silver-grey |
Gentle on the capacitor and gives consistent results and a good surface for lead attachment |
| Aluminium |
Bright silver |
Low damage to the winding and a good bonding surface |
| Tin |
Silver-white |
Easy soldering and contact quality |
| Copper |
Reddish-brown |
Higher conductivity, with a separate booth set-up to reduce wasted metal |
Both flame and arc guns can spray these metals, but arc spray is the most widely used method for capacitor ends.
Why Arc Spray for Capacitors?
- Lower heat input to the capacitor, so fewer scrapped units
- Better penetration of the foil windings thanks to higher particle velocity
- Denser coatings with less oxide
- Consistent operation and easy automation
- No fuel gas or oxygen: no flammable or explosive gases to store
- Lower energy cost: power is used only while spraying
- Quick start and stop for high-throughput lines
- Electric supply is widely available

Acoustic Enclosures for HVOF, Plasma & Arc Spray
Thermal spraying is loud. Our acoustic booths use modular panels with acoustic fill and perforated steel inner faces. They bring noise down to roughly 85 dBA, or to your company or country standard.
- Viewing windows for safe monitoring
- Double-leaf entry or sliding overhead door
- Inlet silencers
- Custom panel colours
- Quick assembly and easy relocation
The same enclosure style is used with an HVOF gun, plasma and arc spray set-ups. See our Thermal Spray Gun range for the full list.
How to Choose the Right Thermal Spray Booth for Capacitor?
- Capacitor size and quantity: this sets booth size and fan capacity.
- Coating metal: zinc, aluminium, tin, or copper (copper may need its own set-up).
- Manual or automatic: based on daily output.
- Airflow: choose 2000-6000 cfm and fan size to match the spray volume.
- Noise requirement: standard booth or acoustic enclosure.
- Filtration: glass-fibre filters, plus dust collector if needed.
- Power supply: 415 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz.
- Site support: wiring, air and water piping up to the equipment inlet, and handling arrangements are customer scope.
