Rohner powder coating line installation and relocation
Rohner powder coating lines connect multiple process areas, often including pretreatment, dry-off, powder application, cure and cool-down. Double D Mechanical plans installation, relocation and connections around production flow, conveyor or cart movement, airflow, exhaust, ovens, utilities and maintenance access.

Sequence From Pretreat to Cure
A powder line must move parts in the right order without creating bottlenecks. Washer or pretreatment areas, dry-off, coating, cure, cool-down and inspection should be laid out around the part size, hang method and required handling time between steps.
Conveyor, Cart and Rack Coordination
The handling method shapes the mechanical work. Conveyor elevations, slot openings, turns, load stations, unload stations, carts and racks all affect clearances, access platforms, booth placement and oven alignment.
Multiple Air and Heat Systems
Powder lines can include booth exhaust, collector airflow, dry-off oven heat, cure oven heat and general replacement air. Ductwork, stacks, fuel, electrical service, compressed air and controls need coordinated routing across the full line.
Line Move and Tie-In Planning
Relocating a line requires careful documentation of each zone, including conveyor sections, booth, collectors, ovens, panels, fans, ducts, controls and utilities. The receiving area should be reviewed for floor space, roof penetrations, staging, maintenance aisles and trade sequencing.
- Prepare part dimensions, rack spacing and target production flow.
- Identify each utility connection by process area.
- Reserve access at collectors, ovens, conveyors, pumps and panels.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a powder coating line more complex than a single booth?
A line connects handling, pretreatment, drying, coating, curing, exhaust, heat and controls, so each area affects the next.
Can a powder coating line be relocated?
Yes, when each process zone, conveyor section, utility connection and air system is documented and planned for the new space.
What should be reviewed before installation?
Part flow, hang method, conveyor layout, booth and oven positions, exhaust routes, utility capacity and service aisles should be reviewed.
Why is trade sequencing important?
Mechanical, electrical, controls, rigging, fire protection and building work often overlap across the same line footprint.
