Powder Coating Ovens supplied by Vulcan are used for curing powder on metal substrates

Powder Coating Ovens for cure and booster applications

Powder Coating Ovens supplied by Vulcan Catalytic Systems are used for curing powder on metal substrates, such as aluminum extrusions, sheet metal and various metal geometric shapes.

Infrared booster ovens or pre-gel ovens that precede the traditional convection ovens, rapidly raise the powder coating temperature to a point where the powder flows and gels delivering the parts to the convection oven close to cure temperature in a short amount of time.

Get a QuoteVulcan Systems designs and manufactures both the catalytic heaters and the infrared powder coating ovens. The ovens are designed to surround the parts using our "totally reflected" technology to ensure the entire part reaches temperature rapidly.

Vulcan is the leading manufacturer of custom gas fired infrared Powder Coating ovens, serving the Industrial metal and wood coating industries. Vulcan manufacturers the total infrared oven system starting from our highly efficient patented catalytic heaters, zoned via our unique gas pulse system (GPS) and housed in UL approved control panels . Our Infrared Powder Coating Ovens are custom designed to specific customer requirements of part size, type of coating, conveyor height and line speed

Powder Coating Oven Design

Vulcan's infrared powder coating ovens are designed specifically for curing and gelling powder coatings using fully reflected IR technology.
Multi zone gas pulse technology is used throughout the oven design concept, allowing for front to back and top to bottom temperature control. Control of the zones is via an intuitive PLC operator interface that is also the diagnostic center. The control system is ideal for heating heat sensitive substrates as well as traditional metal parts. READ MORE >>

Gas Pulse Control

The Vulcan powder coating oven heating system is controlled with state-of-the-art UL approved controls, which incorporate our unique gas pulse technology (GPS). Proved and tested for many years GPS is the most economical method of providing multi zone capability for catalytic ovens via PLC based controls. GPS carefully meters precise volume pulses of gas, ensuring ideal temperature settings while allowing for multi zoned heating arrays. The Vulcan Gas Pulse System incorporates a recipe-based menu which interfaces with digital output cards. Operators call up the recipe on the touch-sensitive PLC screen and the system automatically sets the control using the Gas Pulse System.
