Powered adjustable width infrared powder coating oven

Infrared Powder Coating Oven with Powered Adjustable Width

One of our long-time customers wanted to update their powder coating oven and painting system.  The very successful sheet metal fabricating business needed to increase their production on their powder coating and liquid paint line. The current Blasdel oven was purchased used in 2006 and the infrared technology helped to grow their business astronomically.  After they installed the oven, they found out how easy the infrared oven is to operate.  The energy efficiency and versatility to run many different size and shapes of parts was a huge bonus.  With small to very large parts, they knew that their current oven’s flexibility would be the design they wanted to increase their production.  And a new Blasdel oven would be the infrared powder coating oven for their future.

Turning up the Heat

The new powder coating oven would be hotter than their current oven.  The first oven utilizes Blasdel Coil-O-Rods and aluminum reflectors, with a watts density of 11.  The new oven uses higher wattage ceramic panel heaters with a watts density of 15.  The configuration of the new infrared oven, (height and length) would be the same.  The different would be including the powered adjustable width.

Automating the Setup – Game Changer

To adjust the current oven ergonomically, four people are needed to change the width by moving it in and out manually.   Often they needed to wait for it to cool down.  Faced with this challenge, Blasdel designed a powered width adjustment system, whereby a drive system moves the oven in and out with the touch of a push button.  Also, there was no need to wait for the powder coating oven to cool and the width could be changed on the fly.  This was a game changer.

More Success

Presently, the customer’s production has increased dramatically and the previous oven is still in use as a backup and moisture dry-off oven to accelerate dry time after their washer.  They are very happy and excited that they made this purchse.
