In-Line Process Ovens for Paint, Powder, and Composite Finishing

For industrial finishing you need consistent, high-quality results. If you’re using paint, powder coatings, or composite finishes, you need precise curing, baking, and drying to ensure the performance and durability of each product or component. In-line process ovens are an essential tool for manufacturers to provide a controlled environment. Here are some of the uses and benefits or using an in-line process oven. 

In-line process ovens are integrated into the production line, allowing products to move continuously through the oven as part of the manufacturing process. These ovens can be customized to enable temperature control, airflow, and conveyor speeds to meet manufacturing needs for each component. Some common uses of in-line process ovens include: 

• Curing Paint: for the automotive, aerospace, and metal fabrication industries, in-line process ovens are used after liquid paint is applied to a surface to provide heat to harden and bond with the material.
• Evaporation: some finishes may need solvents to evaporate before entering a high temperature curing phase. In-line ovens can provide lower temperature environments for this process.
• Temperature Control: with precise temperature control, in-line ovens prevent over-baking or under-curing which can compromise the adhesion of paint or quality.
  

In-Line ovens can also be used for powder coating, providing high-quality finishing without the use of solvents. Powder coating uses an electrically charged powder that is cured in the oven to melt and form a smooth layer on the object. The ovens can be customized to reduce heat loss and provide energy efficiency. 

Composites like fiberglass or carbon fiber are used by many industries including sporting goods, automotive and aerospace. Using curing resins and adhesives, these specialty finishings also use in-line process ovens to provide controlled heat needed to cure resins used in the finishing process. Composites also require curing or baking, so in-line ovens can provide different temperature zones to complete the process more efficiently with precise temperatures and airflow for each part of the process.

In-line process ovens are an indispensable tool for paint, powder, and composite finishes. With customizable configurations and temperature zones, they can be integrated into your production line to create efficient and consistent results.
