Drying Ovens
Drying ovens are used following any cleaning and pre-treatment that has been carried out before any paint or powder is applied. Our industrial ovens are custom manufactured to your production rate, curing cycle, and layout requirements. They can be configured to accommodate single pass or multi-pass conveyor systems depending on your requirements.
Pre-Heated Powder Gel & Ramp Ovens
These ovens use an accelerated increase in temperature to cure or ‘gel’ a powder coating which significantly lowers the loss of powder and decrease required for curing. They serve as an economical way to raise product surfaces to high temperature when short process cycles are the objective or where higher temperatures can optimise a process.
Industrial Convection Ovens (Curing)
Curing ovens are the ideal choice if you are restricted in terms of the amount of floor area you have. They are an economical solution that can handle a variety of parts simultaneously regardless of their thicknesses, shape, size and setup. Convection equipment is a well established method of heating that can be precisely controlled in terms of temperature and curing time. They are designed to maintain an even, uniform finish from start to finish resulting in the highest possible standard of curing.
Infa-Red Curing
Infra-red curing ovens generate more efficient curing cycles which enable the size of the oven to be significantly smaller. These ovens are therefore more economical than typical convection based ovens.

Batch Cartridge Booth
Batch cartridge booths are a clean, flexible and efficient solution for batches and short-runs of manual and custom-colour powder coating requirements.
These booths are a modular, smaller solution ideal for short and medium sized runs. They feature cartridge-filter technology which provides a high level of material usage and have the benefit of a fast paint colour change system. We can customise the design of the batch booth for automatic spraying applications. The booths are comprised of a closed loop and automatic powder recycling system that enables the most economical material use. This system also lowers the amount of contamination and serves as a safer and cleaner solution. They also have a modular build which is designed to reduce the amount of space required.
Wet Spray (Dry Filter Booth)
We design the Dry Filter booths for many finishing applications. We offer both open face type and conveyor based models. We can also design a custom dry filter booth specifically for your application. Front filter doors, air make-up systems and special spray booth controls can all be integrated into the design.
Water Wash Spray Booths
Water booths provide an extremely efficient means for extracting particles of paint present in exhausted air by making use of water to serve a as means of filtration. These type of booths are commonly used for runs requiring large volumes of paint. They can also safely use a wide variety of paint types with varying degrees of drying speed and viscosity. Our water booths are designed for many different finishing requirements. At PB, we can supply pump and non-pump based versions with either enclosed, conveyor and open face models. We can also incorporate air make up systems, filter doors, sludge dewatering and specialist booth operating controls into our designs.
Online Cartridge Booths
These cartridge booths are suited to high volumes of metal finishing and non-metal based items that require grinding. They can have removable drawer powder or fluidized bed recovery systems. The booths feature blowers, motors, final filters, cartridge filters, manometer, solenoid valves, light fixtures, a complete wired control panel and assembly instructions.
Pre-Treatments For Powder Coating
The most critical step in obtaining a quality finish in any finishing activity is the effective pre-treatment (e.g. cleaning) of the product. The quality of the surface preparation process and equipment sets the standard for all subsequent operations in a finishing system.
The majority of industrial coatings requires the thorough cleaning of all dirt, oils, and contaminants from the product surface and treating the product surface with an iron phosphate or conversion coatings to prevent corrosion and increase paint / powder adhesion.
Types Of Treatment
Our powder coating equipment also covers continuous spray pre-treatments which are by far the most common way of preparing metal surfaces for finishing. This equipment, normally conveyor based, are ideally suited for high capacity plants because of its adaptability.
Tunnel Type
Tunnel type pre-treatments use a water based, multiple step process to prepare surfaces. For both small and large items, overhead conveyors are used to suspend the parts from hooks or racks. These then traverse through the equipment where they are covered with a variety of solutions, sometimes heated to 60oc, which re-circulate via storage tanks for use at each stage.
Immersion (dip Tanks)
Dip tanks are a variation of and work similarly to spray washing. Immersion pre-treatments are commonly needed for intricate parts that aren’t best served by only using spray methods.
Key Features:
- Stainless steel or Mild Steels Designs
- Tanks, heat exchangers, drain boards and conveyor rails also available in stainless steel
- Quick disconnect risers and spray nozzles
- Vertically mounted pumps
- Centrifugal vent fans for extended Life
Box Washer
The Box washer system is configured to meet the most stringent requirements in today’s pre-treatment market. The washer systems are manufactured to customer requirements and can be in-line or off-line design, having as many stages as required operating on a single work chamber. These box washer systems can be used wherever one or more aqueous process needs to be applied to a given product. Cleaning, phosphating, rinsing and sealing would be an example of such a multi-stage process. The number of stages is determined solely by the process requirement.
Flexibility
Much of the flexibility of this system stems from the single treatment chamber, which saves space over conventional in-line systems with separate chambers and annexes between. Flexibility is gained by having totally controllable process and drain times which would otherwise be a fixed feature, determined by chamber and conveyor length and speed of travel.
Savings
There is a reduction in capital and installation costs and longer-term savings on energy and maintenance costs, including both equipment and people.
Installation – Powder Coating Machine
The range of machines provides a compact installation compared to conventional treatment methods, saving floor space and giving more efficient use of treatment chemistry.
Economy
These systems allowing the most economic process times to be set for the work and its condition. They also eliminate losses and quality problems caused by over-spray.
