How do Powder Coating Ovens Work?

• When the substrate is coated, a powder coating oven is used to cause the powder to adhere to the metal extremely firmly meaning it will be extremely long-lasting. The powder then becomes a smooth substance that looks as if it has been painted on.
• Powder coating ovens apply heat to the coating at a determined temperature, meaning that the final objective of the powder coating method will be met. Specialist ovens are needed, for this reason, the coating should not be subject to direct heating, and heating elements should not come into direct contact with the powder coating or it would burn the coating.
• The coating oven must contain heating coils that can direct infrared heat to the entire coated object in a process called convection heating. Convection heating allows heat to move towards a substance without needing direct contact, the heating coils do not touch the coated object and therefore will not impact the coating.
• The most important element of a powder coating oven is its volumetric capacity. Powder coating ovens are frequently used in the automotive industry to coat critical components to ensure they do not degrade or warp throughout their use.
