KOCH Finishing Systems Powder Lines for Heavy Equipment and Agriculture
Heavy equipment and agricultural manufacturing requires finishing systems that can handle large weldments, frames, guards, arms and implement parts. Double D Mechanical supports KOCH Finishing Systems-style powder coating lines and conveyor cure ovens with installation, relocation, service, airflow, exhaust and utility coordination.

Oversize Part Envelopes
Large equipment parts need generous clearance through booth openings, oven entrances, conveyor turns and staging areas. The planning process should include actual hanging orientation, rack style, part swing, crane reach and the path from fabrication into finishing.
Exhaust And Replacement Air
Powder booths and cure ovens both affect building air. Exhaust ductwork, fan access, make-up air and heat control should be reviewed with nearby welding, assembly and material handling areas so the line fits the larger plant environment.
Utility Runs Around Heavy Work
Electrical, compressed air, controls and heat-source connections should be routed where they can be serviced without blocking forklifts, cranes or maintenance carts. Overhead utilities must be checked against conveyor supports and tall suspended parts.
Service Planning Before Start-Up
Operators and maintenance teams need clear access to booth filters, reclaim equipment, collector doors, oven panels, burner or heater areas, fan drives and conveyor components. These spaces should be protected in the layout, not left over after equipment is set.
Frequently asked questions
What makes heavy equipment powder lines different from smaller part lines?
The parts are larger and heavier, so conveyor height, rack strength, door clearance, staging room and maintenance access have a bigger effect on daily operation.
What site details help Double D Mechanical review the work?
Helpful details include part envelopes, conveyor drawings, utility locations, roof structure, existing ventilation, photos, access paths and any planned production shutdown windows.
Can existing make-up air be used for a relocated line?
It must be reviewed against the new exhaust load, duct routing and surrounding building conditions. Existing equipment may not align with the new line location.
Why should service areas be marked on the layout?
Marking service areas helps prevent storage, carts or new workstations from blocking filters, doors, drives, fans and oven access panels after installation.
