High-Volume Panel Coating for Indiana HVAC Manufacturers
Furnace cabinets, air handler panels, access doors and blower housings come off press brakes and turret punches in large numbers. Indiana HVAC manufacturers coating these parts need lines that run fast, change colors when needed and keep up with fabrication. Powder lines, ovens and the air and utility systems that support them are what Double D Mechanical installs, moves and services.
Discuss your installationLine Speed and Hook Density
High-volume lines balance conveyor speed with how many parts fit on each hook or rack. Dense hanging increases throughput but can block powder coverage. Testing hanging patterns on real parts finds the right balance.
Automatic Guns and Manual Touch-Up
Automatic guns handle flat panels efficiently, with manual stations for recesses and edges. Booth layout must give operators room and clear sight lines to parts.
Oven Length for Throughput
At high line speeds, ovens need enough length to cure parts. Extending the oven or adding burner capacity is a common upgrade when production grows.
- Check cure at maximum line speed
- Plan oven length for future growth
- Size exhaust and make-up air for the full line

Production targets, part sizes, current line speed and any bottlenecks you have noticed.
Planning a booth or oven project in Indiana
Crews mobilize from Houston; Indiana is roughly 850 miles away, so equipment, panels and tooling are staged and shipped ahead of the install crew.
Manufacturing in Indiana is concentrated around Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, and South Bend. The sectors most likely to be specifying spray booths, blast rooms, powder systems and cure ovens there include automotive and powertrain, RV and trailer manufacturing, steel, and aerospace components.
Cold winters mean make-up air heaters are sized for sub-freezing intake, and booth or oven placement has to account for frost lines, snow loads on roof penetrations and winter slab work.
Frequently asked questions
How do you increase output on an existing line?
Options include extending the oven, adding guns, improving hanging density or adding a second booth.
Can automatic guns coat recessed parts?
Partially. Manual touch-up stations handle areas automatic guns cannot reach.
What limits line speed most often?
Oven length and burner capacity are common limits, along with pretreatment dwell time.
Do you install complete powder lines?
Yes, including booths, ovens, washers, air systems and utility connections.
