Drying & Curing Ovens
Curing Ovens are high temperature ovens typically used for curing Powder Coated finishes, around 200°C – 230°C.
Drying Ovens are lower temperature ovens or Drying Rooms used to dry product after painting or after cleaning processes such as after pre-treatment. These can be as low 40°C up to 150°C.
They typically heat recirculating air using a gas burner or electrical element. A small bleed of air is taken from the oven to maintain pressure and help remove any gases released from the heating process. Pressure Relief is built into each oven to prevent explosion.
All ovens have insulated walls with thermal breaks designed to help keep the outside of the oven cool.
- Manufactured from Galvanised Steel and Aluminium Coated Steel
- Gas Burner or Electric Heating Elements
- Insulated wall and door panels
- Can be made for conveyorised systems on request

Curing Ovens
These Powder Coating Ovens are industrial ovens designed for the efficient curing of powder-coated finishes, offering high efficiency and precise temperature control. The curing process for powder coatings is crucial, as it strengthens the coating while it sits as a loose powder on the surface. Most powder coatings, such as thermoset powders, cure at temperatures around 200°C for 10 to 15 minutes before being left to cool. The exact temperature and curing time can vary based on the manufacturer’s specifications and other factors, including the size and mass of the object, the efficiency of the powder coating oven, and the thickness of the coating. Proper curing is essential to achieve a durable, high-quality finish.
The standard oven is a closed enclosure, fully insulated on all walls, ceiling and doors. Airflow is a recirculating type where the air is pulled over a modulating gas burner for accurate temperature control. Pressure relief is built into the oven along with a constant purge taking off around 10% of the airflow.
Drying Ovens
These are Industrial Ovens used for drying products after different processes. This could be after the application of wet paints or after washing product through a jet wash or pre-treatment unit. These typically run at lower temperatures of around 100°C to 160°C but can be set to suit your requirements. The exact temperature and length of time needed to dry product evenly will depend on the size and mass of the object and the medium to be dried, i.e. paint or water.

Drying Rooms
These are typically rooms to provide a clean ventilated area to allow paint finishes to dry naturally in a controlled environment. These typically run at lower temperatures of around 30°C to 50°C where personnel can enter the room whilst it is running, but can be set to suit your requirements.
