Intek infrared cure oven installation and relocation
Intek infrared cure ovens use radiant heat for finishing operations on parts such as enclosures, panels, fabricated metal and fixtures. Double D Mechanical plans installation, relocation and service around emitter clearance, part presentation, oven openings, exhaust, make-up air, electrical service, controls and safe maintenance access.

Emitter Clearance To The Work
Infrared equipment depends on the relationship between emitters and the part surface. Part height, rack design, conveyor position, reflectors, shields and access doors should be reviewed before equipment is placed.
Electrical And Control Requirements
Power feeds, control panels, sensors, disconnects and interlocks should be routed with maintenance in mind. Cable paths and panels should stay clear of loading zones, hot surfaces and moving conveyors or carts.
Ventilation Around Radiant Heat
Exhaust and make-up air should be coordinated with the finishing area so heat and process air are managed. Fan locations, duct runs, roof penetrations and nearby booths or ovens should be reviewed together.
Relocation Inputs For Infrared Systems
Before a move, document emitter arrangement, panel locations, control wiring, conveyor or rack position and utility tie-ins. The new location should preserve clearances, service access and the intended part path.
- Record emitter locations and the distance to the work surface.
- Confirm electrical service, controls and disconnect locations.
- Check service access around panels, reflectors and fan equipment.
Frequently asked questions
What is important when installing an infrared cure oven?
Emitter placement, part clearance, electrical service, controls, ventilation, heat shielding and maintenance access are important.
Can infrared cure equipment be relocated?
Yes, after emitter layout, wiring, controls, exhaust, clearances and the new part handling method are reviewed.
Why does part presentation matter?
Radiant heat reaches surfaces based on distance and orientation, so racks, hooks, conveyor height and part shape affect placement.
What should be ready before a site visit?
Have drawings, photos, part dimensions, rack or conveyor details, electrical information and notes about exhaust or heat concerns ready.
