Curing Oven

Catalytic Industrial Ovens - conveyor IR / infrared ovens as drying ovens equipment; convection oven technology

	Catalytic infrared heating saves up to 80% of the energy & time needed by convection ovens or electric infrared ovens.

Technologies Overview

Catalytic Industrial Systems manufactures flameless gas catalytic
infrared ovens, ramp-up ovens and portable heating systems that
are energy-efficient, and highly cost-effective.

For more than a half century, we have provided OEMs, Tier 1s
and job shops with custom-engineered solutions that meet their
goals for quality, throughput, uptime performance, and economy.

We specialize in these 8 system types:

• Powder Curing Oven
• Paint Curing Oven
• Powder Gel Oven / Ramp-up Oven
• Dry-off Oven
• Adhesive Curing Oven
• Silkscreen Drying
• Ink Drying Oven
• Pallet Shrink Tunnels for Packaging

Catalytic Industrial engineers highest quality curing oven systems
using our field-proven gas catalytic infrared and convection technologies.
We specialize in custom systems that meet individual facility requirements
for cycle time, product mix, or equipment footprint.

We often engineer “combination” systems to provide the most efficient
heating solution. A catalytic ramp-up curing oven for powder coating for
instance, uses catalytic infrared technology to increase the product’s
surface temperature, and preheats the powder to a gel state, prior to
convection cure. This provides several advantages, including:

A shorter total cure cycle, and therefore faster line speed
Greater uniformity of cured finish
Lower energy use
Prevention of cross-contamination where multiple color
powders are applied in consecutively

A powder ramp-up curing oven (also called a “booster” oven or
“gel” oven) is compatible with virtually all powder coating formulas.
These ramp-up ovens are an excellent alternative for manufacturers of
metal and plastic parts, also wood products and medium density fiberboard.
When used to cure powders on MDF, a ramp-up curing oven contributes to a
better overall result because a ramp-up oven heats only the powder and
the MDF surface, and exposes the product to less total heat energy.

Catalytic systems range from portable infrared heaters and manually-
operated batch ovens to programmable, in-line infrared and convection
systems for high-throughput, “24/7” manufacturing. We can engineer
multiple-zone systems to meet specific process objectives.

Catalytic enjoys a strong working partnership with leading
manufacturers of industrial coatings. Our extensive R&D capabilities
give us the capability to test, under production conditions, the cure
performance of any new or reformulated powder coating, or liquid finish.
As a result, our technical team is often called upon when powder
coating manufacturers are developing new coating chemistries,
and want to prove them in a laboratory environment that can
replicate the line speeds and other parameters of a production
shop, and precisely document the results. Visit our engineering
and testing page for more.

Catalytic gas-fired infrared heating systems and ramp-up ovens have
a long history of dependable service. They are designed for maximum
energy-efficiency, and low maintenance. Where needed, our in-house
Control Engineering Group can interface our infrared heating systems
with plant-wide controls, and material handling up and downstream.

If a new infrared heating system, convection oven or ramp-up oven is
in your plans, or if you want to discuss options for the retrofit and upgrade
of your existing infrared heating system or convection oven, email us now.
With 50+ years experience in virtually every industry sector, we can
recommend the process heating solution that best meets your needs.

Catalytic Infrared Heating Systems are ATEX approved.
