terms
as IR, if you'll pardon the pun,
that doesn't mean that convection
ovens
are bad. They are also excellent
pieces of equipment and, in many
cases, are the correct choice for a fin-
ishing process. The decision between
IR and convection depends on your
process and what you're ultimately
trying to achieve.
In many cases, an IR booster followed
by a convection oven is the most suit-
able choice for custom coating. Take
this into consideration and do your
due diligence with research and testing
on both types of ovens to see how you
can best meet your powder coating
and finishing needs.
