Temperature Profiling in Industrial Coatings

Paint, Powder and Custom Coating for OEM

Custom coaters also referred to as "job shops", supply a coating facility to other OEM operations. Though not actually manufacturing an end-product of their own, the custom coater provides a variety of coating solutions for their customers, covering a range of different products.. The custom coaters often employ multiple coating lines and coating chemistries with different types of ovens (batch and conveyorized). Typically, hundreds of different product batches are processed on a monthly basis.
