Time spent in the oven is determined by the coating suppliers, who specify the required time at a given temperature to thoroughly cure the coated product. However, line speed, product window size, hanging spacing and product weight/conveyor weight must be defined prior to designing a cure oven. Line Speed.Assume a production rate of 600 parts…

Tips on how to choose the system that best suites your coating needs. One of the most common questions asked of those in the powder coating industry is whether to use a manual batch-type system or an automated line. The answer isn’t always easy: Batch systems and automated lines use different approaches to powder coating,…

In any powder coating line, pretreatment is the foundation of quality. No matter how advanced your spray booth or curing oven is, if the surface preparation is flawed, the final coating will fail—through peeling, blistering, or rust bleed-through. That’s why eliminating pretreatment defects isn’t just a detail; it’s a mission-critical step in achieving a flawless finish……[..]
