Industrial Powder Coating Product Info

GFS powder coating ovens reach temperatures of 300 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, with low air change rates to ensure efficient curing of powder coatings. Integrated, adjustable airflow tabs provide exceptional temperature uniformity to expedite the dry finishing process and deliver superior coatings.Ā 

Uni-Flow Airflow Tabs

GFS powder coating ovens feature built-in air delivery systems that ensure excellent heat distribution. This enables swift temperature attainment and boosts productivity.

Industrial Powder Coating FAQs

Powder coating has many industrial applications, including manufacturing, military, rail and agriculture. Each industry’s use case is different, but the underlying process of how to powder coat a surface is the same. GFS finishing equipment accommodates businesses of many types and sizes, and we’re happy to share our 50-plus years of powder coating expertise with our customers.

If your powder coating oven doesn’t heat evenly, cold spots will result in uneven and sloppy coatings. Inadequate airflow and faulty temperature sensors are among the most common causes. Overcrowding can be an issue, as well, if too many items are stuffed into the oven at once. Dirty ovens can also introduce impurities that compromise the finish. The contaminants may affect the oven’s ability to heat evenly, allowing one issue to compound the other.Ā 

Other common issues include back ionization (too much powder producing starring or an orange peel-like finish), outgassing (bubbling caused by air or moisture escaping during curing) and the Faraday cage effect (an item’s geometry causing certain areas to receive too much or too little powder). The best powder coating ovens address these potential issues with even air and temperature distribution, in addition to advanced powder controls.

All GFS equipment is vertically manufactured in the U.S., giving us complete control over design, fabrication, installation and maintenance. We’ve worked hard to achieve a reputation for quality throughout our product lines, including paint booths and powder coating ovens.Ā 

Our outstanding technical support also stands out. We view every customer as a long-term partner. We also offer product training, and our vast distribution network provides local support across North America.
