| Open-face manual booth | An exhaust system draws air from the open work face through the booth toward its powder collection filters. | Manual coating of small or medium parts in batch production. | Airflow must be designed to contain overspray without disrupting powder application. |
| Enclosed manual booth | The operator coats parts inside an enclosure while booth airflow carries airborne overspray to the collection system. | Batch work where greater separation from the surrounding workspace is useful. | Access, lighting, part handling, and cleaning should be considered in the layout. |
| Walk-in booth | A larger enclosed work area lets operators coat or handle oversized parts while exhaust airflow captures overspray. | Large components or parts that are difficult to move through a compact booth. | The booth and extraction system need to suit the part size, operator access, and required airflow pattern. |
| Batch booth | Parts are loaded, coated, and removed in groups rather than moving continuously through the booth. | Variable part sizes, short production runs, and job-shop work. | Loading and unloading time can affect throughput; hooks and fixtures need to support reliable grounding. |
| Conveyorized through-feed booth | Parts suspended from a conveyor pass through the application area while booth exhaust captures airborne powder. | Repeatable production with a regular flow of parts. | Conveyor speed, part spacing, and booth opening design influence line capacity and powder containment. |
| Cartridge-filter collection | Exhaust air passes through filter cartridges that capture overspray; some systems use periodic compressed-air pulses to clean filters. | Booths where powder is not routinely reclaimed for reuse, or where the system is designed for filter-based collection. | Filter condition and cleaning are important to maintaining the intended airflow. |
| Cyclone with final filtration | A cyclone separates a portion of overspray from the air stream; downstream filters capture remaining airborne powder. | Suitable reclaim systems and production involving compatible powder and color-change practices. | Recovered powder reuse depends on powder condition, contamination controls, and the coating process. |
| Non-reclaim collection system | Overspray is captured by the collection equipment and is generally not returned to the application process. | Frequent color changes, small production runs, or applications where reclaiming is not part of the process. | Powder disposal and filter replacement are operating considerations. |
| Quick color-change design | Accessible booth surfaces and collection components are arranged to make cleaning between powder colors more manageable. | Facilities that switch colors or coating jobs regularly. | Actual changeover time depends on booth geometry, equipment, cleaning procedure, and operator practice. |
| Automated application-compatible booth | The booth accommodates automatic spray equipment, such as reciprocators, while exhaust airflow contains overspray. | Repeat production requiring consistent gun movement or coordinated application. | Gun positioning, part presentation, grounding, and airflow should be considered together during system design. |
