Built to hang, not roll
Most custom powder coaters roll parts through the booth and the oven on carts. We hang everything on overhead tracks, and we use a cart maybe six times a year.
More parts per oven load
Five overhead tracks, each rated to 3,000 lb, carry up to 15,000 lb into one big oven at once. The large burner brings thick steel up to temperature faster.
Fewer hands on your parts
Parts stay on the track from blast to cure, so our technicians handle each one fewer times. That keeps labour down, and the savings pass to you.
Room to coat
With no cart in the way, the booth fits the part plus two coating technicians, so two people can coat at once.
Manufacturers who tour the shop usually notice the layout first. Come see it for yourself.
