Intek for Powder Coating Job Shops
Powder coating job shops need cure layouts that can adapt to changing part sizes, rack styles and customer work. Intek infrared oven installation or relocation should be planned around surface exposure, booth-to-cure movement, exhaust, make-up air, electrical service and routine access.

Changing Workpiece Mix
Job shops may run flat panels, frames, brackets and assemblies through the same cure area. Infrared equipment layout should consider part orientation, rack density, tall parts, wide parts and room to adjust handling patterns.
Booth To Cure Transitions
Freshly coated parts should have a practical path from powder application into cure. Layout planning should avoid tight turns, blocked unload areas and drafts created by exhaust or replacement air.
Electrical And Exhaust Planning
Electrical service, controls and ventilation routes should be reviewed with the shop layout. The plan should keep panels, disconnects and service points reachable without interfering with booth access or rack movement.
What To Have Ready
Bring part size ranges, rack or cart details, coating booth location, desired flow, electrical information, ceiling height, exhaust route options, floor condition and photos of the proposed cure zone.
Frequently asked questions
What part details help plan an Intek oven for a powder shop?
Provide common and maximum part sizes, rack spacing, carrier type, coating method and any parts with recesses or surfaces that may be shadowed.
Why review booth airflow with the cure area?
Booth exhaust and oven ventilation both affect building pressure, so they should be reviewed together to reduce drafts near coated parts.
What clearances matter for service?
Access is needed at electrical panels, controls, heater zones, guards, exhaust connections and nearby booth or conveyor equipment.
What affects relocation planning in a job shop?
Part flow, aisle width, roof or wall exhaust paths, available electrical service, shutdown sequencing and the rigging route all affect the plan.
