Powder Coating Curing Ovens

Powder coat curing temperatures typically range from 325°F to 450°F (163°C to 232°C), depending on the specific powder formulation. Most standard powders cure optimally at around 375°F to 400°F. Infrared curing systems from Fannon Products can rapidly and precisely achieve and maintain these temperatures, ensuring consistent, high-quality finishes.

No, 200°F is generally too low to fully cure most powder coatings. At this temperature, the coating may appear set but will lack proper cross-linking, resulting in poor adhesion, reduced hardness, and compromised durability. Most powder coatings require a minimum of 325°F to initiate and complete the curing process correctly.

Infrared curing ovens heat the substrate and coating directly through radiant energy, bypassing the need to heat surrounding air. This delivers faster heat-up and cure cycles, more precise temperature control, lower energy consumption, and a smaller equipment footprint compared to traditional convection ovens — all resulting in higher throughput and reduced operating costs.

Yes. Fannon Products specializes in fully custom infrared oven and system design, engineering, and manufacturing. Whether you need a system for automotive powder coat curing, industrial parts, or a unique substrate, their engineering team will design a solution matched to your exact production requirements, part geometry, and throughput targets.

Fannon Products utilizes short-wave, medium-wave, and fast medium-wave infrared lamps in their curing systems. Short-wave and fast medium-wave lamps offer near-instant response times ideal for high-speed lines, while medium-wave lamps provide more gradual, even heating. Wattages range from 250W to over 6,000W, and systems can be configured with 24K gold, white oxide, or clear quartz reflectors.

Fannon Products' infrared curing systems serve a wide range of industries including automotive manufacturing (primer, color coat, clear coat, and powder coat curing), plastics fabrication, industrial process heating, printing and screen printing, electronics, textiles, food processing, glass-ceramics, and agricultural applications — all from their American-made facility in Algonac, Michigan.
