Curing and drying ovens

A curing oven brings the powder on the part to its cure temperature and holds it there; a drying oven removes water after washing. We build box-type ovens for batch work, tunnel ovens for continuous lines and U-turn ovens where the line must enter and leave on the same side, all with thermoblock heating and rock-wool sandwich panels.

Questions we get before the quote

Answered in full. The sizing guide goes deeper. Sizing guide

How long does a tunnel oven have to be?

Length equals the line speed multiplied by the time the part needs inside: heat-up to the cure temperature plus the hold time the powder supplier specifies. A 20 m curing tunnel at 1 m/min gives 20 minutes; at 2 m/min it gives 10, which is too short for most powders unless the parts are thin. The sizing guide walks through the arithmetic.

Gas or electric heating?

Electric heating is simpler to install and reacts fast, which suits box ovens; our standard box oven uses a 60 kW finned resistance thermoblock. Gas heating costs less per kWh in most of Europe and is the usual choice for long tunnels. Both are available on every oven size.

Which temperature do the ovens reach?

Our box oven is designed for 250 °C; tunnel ovens are specified per project to the powder's cure window. Low-temperature-cure powders, which cure from roughly 120 to 160 °C, shorten the oven or raise the line speed for the same length.

How is the oven insulated?

150 mm rock wool between 1 mm galvanized skins, assembled as sandwich panels that interlock with high-temperature silicone. The outer skin is powder-coated.
