Oven + Spray Booth

[dealerlvw]

My intentions, however weird is to consolidate oven and spray booth into one structure. Fans to suck out powder in spray mode not to regard any powder reclaimation, then to slide in elements for heating once most all of powder is removed. Oven is 4' X 8' x 36" allready partially assembled.
Oven is designed to reach 800 degrees for any possible use of ceramic coating for use on Hot Rod Pipes etc. Heat range to be reached by infrared and electric elements. I believe this is doable.

There are actually a few of those out on the market already...They are not exactly popular though. There are several drawbacks that stop people from using them. The main problem as I see it would be cleanup. As you spray to waste your powder it will fall to the floor in thin layers and become quite dusty. As soon as you try to cure the fallen powder will kick up and get into your coated parts. To avoid this you would need to put something down on the floor and walls of the oven to collect the over spray. Then you would need to clean out the oven before curing. that's alot of wasted time for one coating job in my opinion. The easiest way to do what you're thinking about would be to make the spray booth part as a down draft type, with the filters on the floor in a cartridge type setup that can be removed for curing. You would still have the issue of what to do with the over spray on the walls, but the removable downdraft setup would reduce the clean up time.

Thanks bzer 1 for your reply, I have thought over that very problem and hopefully have a remedy for it. If it doesn't work out at least I have made my brain work, nothing ventured nothing gained.

i don t really see any good side to a setup like this besides saving space .
when i powder i like ti have lot s of light . but in this case the lights would have to be inside the oven so all that extra powder would stick to and cure on the lights. the cleaning problem woud be time taking too .also with a big oven /booth
you have to be inside the oven to powder the parts (possible dust problem there
when i do parts i like to preheat my oven so that the curing temp is reached faster for a better finnish( imposible with this type of setup)
