EPTEX Coatings Wheel and Rim Finishing Systems
Wheel and rim finishing uses compact but repetitive part flow, with masking, surface prep, coating and cure steps packed into a practical production area. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services powder coating booths, ovens, exhaust ductwork, make-up air and utility connections used with EPTEX Coatings equipment.

Round Parts And Rack Rotation
Wheels and rims need handling that lets operators reach inner barrels, edges and bolt areas without crowding the booth. Rack design, rotation clearance and loading height should be checked before equipment placement.
Prep To Coating Separation
Blast or cleaning work should be separated from powder application and cure staging. The route from dirty prep to clean coating should reduce dust migration while keeping parts moving efficiently.
Compact Exhaust And Cure Layout
Wheel finishing areas often use smaller footprints, but exhaust, make-up air, oven doors and utility access still need defined space. Duct routing and heated equipment connections should be coordinated before final set.
Cleaning And Changeover Access
Repeated color changes or frequent part changes make access important. Operators and maintenance staff need room to reach booth interiors, filters, hooks, racks, oven loading areas and controls.
Frequently asked questions
What wheel details affect finishing system layout?
Wheel diameter, width, rack quantity, masked surfaces, prep method and cure loading all affect booth and oven planning.
Why does rack rotation matter?
Rotation or repositioning helps operators reach inner and outer surfaces, so the booth area needs clearance for the loaded rack and the person working around it.
Can wheel prep and powder coating share a room?
The arrangement can be reviewed, but dust control, airflow direction, cleaning access and separation from cured parts are important.
What utilities are typically checked?
Electrical service, compressed air, exhaust duct routing, replacement air and heated equipment utilities are commonly checked during planning.
