Box and tunnel polymerization oven
The polymerization oven is a closed chamber for heating the product to a predetermined temperature with powder paint applied (for polymerization).
You can read more about the control of the polymerization chamber here.
Technical characteristics of polymerization ovens:
- Time to reach the mode 10-40 minutes;
- Working temperature range 90-220°С;
- oven wall temperature no more than 45°C.
- The ability to build in the top or bottom transport system of any configuration.
- Individual sizes for each client.
Polymerization oven types
Depending on the number of doors, polymerization ovens are divided into 2 types:
- box;
- tunnel.
Box polymerization oven
The box oven has only 1 doorway. Both, uploading and unloading of products is carried out through it. A box type is less productive than a tunnel, since it takes time to remove finished products from the carriage, and then hang up the next ones for polymerization. That is why a dead-end polymerization oven is used in workshops with a low capacity.
Design:
- Doorways: 1
Transport systems:
- Lower transport system: Yes
- Top transport system: Yes
Working parameters:
- Temperature range: 60 – 230ºС
- Time to reach operating mode: 10 – 40 min
Tunnel polymerization oven
The tunnel oven has 2 doorways located on opposite sides. The items are loaded on one side and pass through the transport system of the oven and after the polymerization process is completed the products are unloaded from the other side. Then you can load the next portion of products.
This oven is more efficient due to its two doorways and is usually used in automatic powder coating lines.
Design:
- Doorways: 2
Transport systems:
- Lower transport system: Yes
- Top transport system: Yes
Working parameters:
- Temperature range: 60 – 230ºС
- Time to reach operating mode: 10 – 40 min
For these two types of ovens, you can use the top or bottom transport system. A conveyor is used in large-scale production of products to transport products for powder coating.
