Design And Operation Of Convection Drying And Curing Ovens

摘要

The three major processes at work in a finishing operation are the surface pretreat-ment, the coating application, and the drying and curing of the coating. There are several proven methods from which to choose. The processes are dependent upon each other and are subject to design considerations, such as coating specifications, substrates, factory space availability, capital budget, environmental concerns, and many others. Several options for the process are available. There are air-dry applications, low-temperature cures for woods, plastics, and even electrocoated parts, and the more traditional higher temperatures for solids and powders.
