Industrial Ovens Overview

Catalytic Industrial Systems manufactures flameless gas catalytic industrial ovens, ramp-up ovens and portable heating systems that are energy-efficient, and very cost-effective, for the broadest range of applications.

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

We specialize in industrial ovens for these applications:

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

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

We often engineer “combination” systems to provide the most efficient heating solution. Catalytic ramp-up industrial ovens for powder coating, for example, use catalytic infrared technology to increase product surface temperature, and preheat the powder to a gel state, prior to
convection cure. This provides several benefits, among them:

A shorter cure cycle, and faster line speed

Higher uniformity of cured finish

Less energy consumption

Prevention of cross-contamination where multiple color powders are applied consecutively

Powder ramp-up industrial ovens (also called “booster” ovens or “gel” ovens) are 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, ramp-up industrial ovens from CIS contribute to a better overall result because a ramp-up oven heats only the
powder and the 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 often 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 new or reformulated powder coatings, or liquid finishes. 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.

Catalytic gas-fired infrared industrial 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 industrial ovens with plant-wide controls, and material handling up and downstream.

If new industrial ovens are 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 Industrial Ovens are ATEX approved.
