EPTEX Coatings Steel Electrical Enclosure Finishing Systems
Steel electrical enclosures, doors and panels are usually finished before electrical assembly, which makes coating quality, masking protection and clean transfer especially important. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services powder coating booths, ovens, exhaust, make-up air and utility connections used with EPTEX Coatings equipment.

Shells, Doors And Panel Movement
Enclosure finishing often includes empty shells, removable doors, back panels and covers moving through the same cell. The layout should account for tall carts, door swing, hanging points and protected staging for coated parts.
Powder Coverage Before Assembly
Because electrical components are added later, the finishing area should help keep interiors, flange surfaces and masked features clean. Booth access, lighting and part orientation all affect how consistently operators can reach corners and returns.
Air Balance Around Enclosure Lines
Powder booths and ovens need exhaust and replacement air that fit the room, roof route and surrounding plant ventilation. Make-up air, duct supports and control wiring should be reviewed alongside other building systems.
Access For Filter And Oven Service
Maintenance space should be planned around filters, fan sections, burners, control panels, doors and conveyor or cart paths. Service access is easiest to protect when it is marked before anchors, utilities and guards are placed.
Frequently asked questions
What enclosure information helps with equipment planning?
Useful details include shell height and width, door sizes, rack spacing, masking locations, cart dimensions and the planned direction of production flow.
Why finish enclosures before electrical assembly?
Finishing empty housings reduces interference from installed components and allows doors, panels and shells to be coated as metal parts before wiring and devices are added.
What connections are commonly reviewed?
Electrical service, gas service for heated equipment, compressed air, exhaust ductwork, make-up air, lighting circuits and controls are commonly reviewed.
Can existing enclosure finishing equipment be moved?
Relocation can be evaluated by checking the current equipment condition, disassembly needs, new clearances, exhaust routes and available utilities at the receiving location.
