Wisconsin Powder Coating Job Shop Equipment
Wisconsin powder coating job shops coat a steady flow of industrial parts for local manufacturers, plus custom work for individuals, all through long cold winters. Ovens and make-up air carry a big share of the operating cost. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services powder booths, ovens and the air, exhaust and utility connections around them.
Discuss your installationUpgrading an Aging Oven
Older ovens can lose efficiency through worn insulation, failing door seals and outdated burners. Repairs or upgrades restore temperature uniformity and cut fuel use. Sometimes a replacement oven is the better choice, especially if the job shop has outgrown the old one.
- Check panel insulation and seams
- Replace worn door seals
- Service or upgrade burners and controls
Cold Weather and Make-Up Air
Booth exhaust must be replaced with heated air for much of the year. A make-up air unit tied to the booth fan keeps the shop warm and the booth airflow steady.
Industrial Customers and Repeat Work
Repeat industrial work rewards consistency. Stable oven temperatures, clean racks and steady booth airflow lead to consistent results from order to order.
Oven Age and Customer Mix
Oven age and size, booth details, make-up air equipment, gas capacity and the type of customer work you run.
Planning a booth or oven project in Wisconsin
Crews mobilize from Houston; Wisconsin is roughly 1,000 miles away, so equipment, panels and tooling are staged and shipped ahead of the install crew.
Manufacturing in Wisconsin is concentrated around Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, and Appleton. The sectors most likely to be specifying spray booths, blast rooms, powder systems and cure ovens there include heavy machinery and engines, paper products, food processing equipment, and metal fabrication.
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
Is it worth repairing an old oven?
Often, if the structure is sound. Insulation, seals, burners and controls can be renewed. A heavily worn or undersized oven may be better replaced.
Why is our shop cold near the booth?
The booth may be exhausting air without enough heated make-up air, pulling cold air in through doors and gaps.
How do we keep results consistent for repeat customers?
Stable oven temperature, clean racks and well-maintained booth airflow are the key equipment factors.
Can you add make-up air to an existing shop?
Yes. A unit can be added with roof or wall penetrations, ductwork and controls tied to the booth.
