KOCH Finishing Systems powder coating line installation and relocation
KOCH Finishing Systems powder coating lines organize pretreatment, drying, powder application, curing and handling into a connected finishing process. Double D Mechanical plans installation, relocation and service around conveyors, washers, booths, ovens, exhaust, make-up air, compressed air, gas, electrical, drains, controls and service clearances.

Conveyor Path And Workpiece Envelope
The line should be planned around the largest part, rack spacing, carrier movement and loading method. Turns, elevation changes, transfer points and aisle space all affect whether operators can keep parts moving without extra handling.
Pretreatment To Powder Application
Wash stages, dry-off areas and the powder booth have to work as one production path. Water, drains, pumps, air knives, heat, booth containment and collector access should be coordinated before equipment placement is finalized.
Cure Oven And Exhaust Planning
Cure ovens require heat, circulation, exhaust, make-up air and clear access to burners, fans, doors and controls. Stack routes and utility locations should be checked against the building structure and adjacent production areas.
Site Data For Line Work
Before installation or relocation, gather line drawings, equipment photos, utility maps, part dimensions, conveyor details and notes on current production constraints. That information helps coordinate rigging, trades and startup readiness.
- Confirm the line direction from load to unload.
- Identify gas, electrical, water, drain and compressed air locations.
- Keep service access open at booths, ovens, pumps, fans and drives.
Frequently asked questions
What makes powder line installation complex?
A powder line connects handling, cleaning, drying, coating and curing equipment, so utilities, alignment, airflow and sequencing must be planned together.
Can a KOCH powder coating line be reconfigured?
A reconfiguration can be evaluated when the conveyor path, equipment locations, utilities, exhaust and maintenance access can support the new process flow.
What should be ready before a site visit?
Drawings, photos, part sizes, utility information, conveyor data, oven details and notes on production goals or constraints are helpful.
Why is access around the booth and oven important?
Filters, collectors, burners, fans, doors, controls and conveyor drives need service access to keep the line maintainable.
