Difference between Gas Catalytic Oven and Electric Infrared Oven

Gas catalytic oven uses radiation heat transfer technique  to heat only the paint and powder without heating the surface. Electric Infrared Oven  use electric infrared heaters to radiate heat into a part. The ovens can be designed in various shapes and for nearly any process involving heat treatment. Gas catalytic oven is the most cost effective and energy efficient curing solution. Compared to electric infrared, gas catalytic infrared uses significantly less energy to operate. These ovens are commonly used for curing powder coatings on nearly any substrate. Further life of the electric heaters are less which means higher replacement costs which will increase your maintenance costs. Gas catalytic infrared ovens do not rely on heated, moving air to increase the part temperature.  This reduces opportunities for cross-contamination or blowing off un-cured powder on powder coated parts.Electric infrared ovens are the fastest way to heat a part. For extremely small spaces and fast line speeds, electric infrared energy will transfer the infrared energy faster than gas catalytic infrared ovens. gas catalytic ovens can bring down drying time drastically and also it uses less fuel bringing down energy costs.

Gas Catalytic Oven Can Cure Powder in 3-4 Minutes

Yes its true , gas catalytic oven can cure the powder with 3-4 minutes. it can also be used as a booster oven to bring down drying times and reduce the length of the conventional powder curing oven and reduce on investment costs. It can be retrofitted into an existing powder coating plant/line. Gas catalytic oven reduces your fuel/energy/running costs by 50% and increase your productivity. The gas catalytic oven uses a special radiation heat transfer technique which heats the powder and not the metal. Radiation heat is created by oxidizing the gas either LPG or natural gas using a catalyst. Gas catalytic ovens can be used on flat as well as complex shaped parts.

Prism has installed many gas catalytic ovens  around the world as well as in India along with its powder coating plants and Painting lines.
