EPTEX Coatings Switchgear Cabinet Finishing Systems
Switchgear cabinet shells and removable panels need finishing flow that protects edges, openings and masked surfaces before electrical assembly begins. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services powder coating booths, ovens, exhaust systems, make-up air and utility connections used with EPTEX Coatings equipment in cabinet production areas.

Cabinet Height And Door Openings
Switchgear cabinets can be tall, narrow and easy to damage at exposed edges. Booth openings, oven doors, cart turning space and staging lanes should be checked against the largest cabinet shell and the way it is handled.
Panel Routing Before Buildout
Doors, covers and side panels may be coated alongside cabinet bodies. A practical layout keeps matched parts organized, separates raw and coated material, and leaves room for inspection before the parts move to assembly.
Heat, Exhaust And Room Pressure
Powder application and cure equipment place demands on exhaust, replacement air and utilities. Duct paths, roof openings, heated equipment connections and nearby air movement should be coordinated before final equipment placement.
Site Review Items For Cabinets
Before a site visit, gather cabinet dimensions, loaded rack size, production direction, ceiling clearances, electrical and gas information, proposed exhaust route and any constraints from cranes, aisles or assembly stations.
Frequently asked questions
What makes switchgear cabinet finishing layout sensitive?
The parts are tall, have many edges and often include removable panels that need to stay organized through coating, cure and assembly.
Should coating equipment sit next to electrical assembly?
It should be close enough for efficient transfer while preserving heat clearance, traffic separation and maintenance access around the booth and oven.
What trades usually need coordination?
Mechanical, electrical, gas, fire protection, controls, roofing and sometimes structural support work may need sequencing around the finishing equipment.
Can cabinet finishing equipment be serviced in place?
Many service tasks can be planned in place when filters, fans, lights, burners, panels and access doors have clear working space around them.
