Introduction

We supply a variety of infrared curing ovens for powder coating lines. As an infrared oven manufacturer, we work with fabricators upgrading or retrofitting an existing powder line, or building a brand-new line — after evaluating your powder type and substrate in our lab with test heaters, we design and build an oven matched to your product mix.

Infrared powder coating oven

For customers with existing convection ovens, the oven is often the bottleneck limiting maximum production rate. By installing an infrared booster section — before, after or even within the existing oven — you increase efficiency and remove the bottleneck. We engineer these upgrades to be seamlessly installed with minimal downtime. High-intensity shortwave, medium-wave and gas catalytic infrared systems are all within our range. Electric infrared and electric-infrared/convection combination booster ovens sit in front of the convection cure oven to increase output for the smallest footprint — and improve quality by reducing powder blow-off and colour cross-contamination.

How IR Technology Works

Infrared heaters for powder coating work by converting electric current (resistance heating of an emitter) or natural gas / propane combustion into IR energy. The intensity of IR emitted depends on the emitter’s temperature — the hotter the emitter, the shorter the wavelength and the more energetic the IR. For IR emitters to work effectively, they must be properly selected and matched to the load: substrate type (e.g. steel), monorail conveyor pounds/feet per hour, and powder coating mil thickness.

Why Choose an IR Booster Oven

Advantage Engineering Detail Production Payoff
Near-Instant Heat-Up Elements reach setpoint in < 60 sec Slash idle energy & increase line availability
Compact Length 50–70% shorter than convection ovens Fits tight floors, boosts takt without expansion
Zoned Control Individually PID-controlled emitter banks Fine-tune heat to part mass & coating thickness
Energy Efficiency 95% radiant efficiency on catalytic models Up to 40% gas savings vs. convection
Clean, Silent Operation No fans or recirc blowers on catalytic IR Lower noise & zero cross-contamination
Tool-Free Access Lift-off panels for element change in minutes Minimized downtime & maintenance cost

Catalytic Curing Advantages

Energy-Saving
Up to 30% more energy efficient than electric convection ovens — lower gas bills year-round.
High Efficiency
Preheating time reduced to ~30 minutes — near-instant heat-up gets you to production faster.
Space-Saving
Gas catalytic infrared system requires far less installation space than a convection tunnel.
Higher Curing Quality
No wrinkles or bubbles (as with convection curing) — homogeneous coating with consistent, high-quality finish.

Key Features & Specs

Three IR Technologies
Shortwave, medium-wave and gas catalytic infrared heating — matched to your powder and substrate.
Low Maintenance
No internal reflectors to clean; lift-off panels let you swap elements in minutes.
Precise Repeatable Control
PID-controlled emitter banks deliver repeatable cure results batch after batch.
Minimal Airflow
Built with minimal to no airflow — eliminates powder blow-off and cross-contamination.
Retrofit Friendly
Install before, after or within existing convection ovens — minimal downtime, seamless integration.
Fast Cure Cycle
Gels most powder coatings in under 1 minute; full cure in 1–3 minutes — dramatically faster than convection.
Customisation options: works with chain-on-edge / spindle, flat belt or overhead conveyor; voltage as specified (208V, 240V, 380V, 400V, 480V, 575V); gas catalytic on natural gas or LP; 3″ minimum insulation; horizontal and/or vertical zoning for varying product sizes; combination IR/convection systems; pyrometers for part-temperature monitoring; optional cooling system to bring parts back to safe handling temperature. Suitable for powder coating on metal and on plastics.
