Powder Coating Manufacturers & Suppliers USA

Infrared powder coat curing uses short-wave or medium-wave quartz infrared energy to bring coated parts to cure temperature quickly and precisely. Instead of heating large volumes of air first, infrared transfers energy directly to the part surface. This can shorten gel and cure times, improve control across zones, and support conveyor tunnels, batch booths, or booster sections.

Infrared can reduce cycle time, floor-space needs, and energy waste because it heats parts more directly than a convection oven. It is especially useful for fast gel stages, preheating, and curing complex geometries when properly engineered. Convection may still be used in some lines, but infrared often improves throughput and process control.

Yes. Fannon Products designs, engineers, and manufactures custom infrared systems around the application, including conveyor cure tunnels, batch booths, booster zones, emitter panels, reflectors, controls, and temperature zones. Each system is specified for part size, coating chemistry, substrate, line speed, available space, and production goals.

Pricing is quoted per specification because powder coating lines vary in width, speed, part geometry, temperature targets, control requirements, and integration needs. A practical quote typically starts with line drawings, throughput goals, part details, cure schedule, voltage requirements, and whether the system is a new installation or retrofit.

Fannon Products manufactures systems and replacement infrared lamps at its facility in Algonac, Michigan and supports customers across the USA, with secure shipping capabilities to global destinations. Systems are made-to-order, so delivery timing depends on engineering scope, component selection, production schedule, and shipping requirements for the specific equipment.

Many production lines can be upgraded with infrared booster zones, gel sections, or custom heater assemblies. A retrofit may help increase line speed, improve finish consistency, or reduce the load on an existing oven. The best configuration depends on conveyor layout, available space, coating requirements, voltage, and the thermal profile needed.

Fannon Products manufactures replacement infrared lamps in every size, wattage, and voltage, including short-wave quartz, medium-wave quartz, and twin tube quartz lamps. Factory-direct replacement lamps can be built to OEM specifications for drop-in fit, helping reduce downtime and keep industrial curing and heating equipment operating reliably.

To engineer an effective curing system, the team reviews part dimensions, substrate material, coating type, target cure temperature, dwell time, conveyor speed, production volume, voltage, and control preferences. These details determine emitter wavelength, zone design, reflector layout, fixture configuration, and whether a conveyor tunnel, batch booth, or booster zone is most appropriate.
