KOCH Finishing Systems conveyor cure oven installation and relocation
KOCH Finishing Systems conveyor cure ovens are used in continuous finishing lines where coated parts move through heated cure zones on a conveyor. Double D Mechanical plans installation, relocation and service around oven placement, conveyor alignment, heat, circulation air, exhaust, make-up air, gas, electrical service, controls and maintenance access.

Oven Placement In The Line
A conveyor oven has to match the production path before and after cure. Part height, hanger spacing, conveyor speed, entrance vestibules, exit clearance and unload space should be reviewed together so parts can enter, cure and leave without binding or excessive handling.
Heat Zones And Air Movement
Cure performance depends on controlled heat, circulation fans and stable airflow around the workpiece. Burner access, fan service space, panel joints, doors and duct connections should remain reachable after the oven is set in place.
Exhaust And Replacement Air
Oven exhaust and building make-up air should be coordinated before stack routes are finalized. Roof structure, nearby intakes, utility corridors and production aisles can affect how exhaust, combustion air and replacement air are routed.
Connection Details To Confirm
A useful site review starts with clear information on the oven, conveyor and building services.
- Confirm conveyor centerline, elevation and direction of travel.
- Gather gas, electrical, control and exhaust information.
- Identify service zones at burners, fans, panels, doors and drives.
Frequently asked questions
What affects conveyor oven placement?
The largest part, hanger spacing, conveyor elevation, entrance and exit clearance, service access and nearby process equipment all affect placement.
Can a KOCH conveyor cure oven be relocated?
Relocation can be planned when the oven sections, conveyor openings, utilities, exhaust routes and controls can be documented and reconnected in the new layout.
What should be ready before a walkdown?
Oven drawings, conveyor information, part dimensions, utility locations, exhaust details and photos of the current and proposed areas are useful.
Why does make-up air matter for a cure oven?
Exhaust removes air from the building. Replacement air helps keep the oven area and adjacent finishing equipment from fighting pressure problems.
