BGK Curing, Conveying & Controls

Inside This Document

BGK's 8-page overview of curing, conveying, and controls as one integrated, customizable finishing system. It explains the three jobs a BGK oven does: drying (moving heated air to pull moisture from previously coated products), baking (heating objects over time without drying them out), and curing coatings to final hardness. The brochure shows how electric infrared ovens, chain-on-edge conveyors, and PLC controls combine into engineered production lines — the stage of the finishing process that happens after the spray gun.

BGK Finishing Solutions Curing, Conveying and Controls. Integrated/Customizable Systems Provide Optimum Performance BGK ovens serve three basic purposes: Drying… applied to products that have a lot of moisture, usually introduced by some previously applied chemical or coating process. In drying, the oven moves a constant stream of heated air over the products to take the moisture out. Baking… technique is applied to heat objects over a period of time without drying them out and curing the coating to the part. Curing… a slower process during which an object or compound is heated to give it different properties and alter its molecular structure. IR curing can provide zoned control to meet any finishing requirement or part configuration for optimum performance. BGK can cure your material with a full range of solutions from IR to gas catalytic to convection, we have it all. Ovens heat in different ways and outcomes are dependent on part complexity, shape, coating material and finishing process and BGK is your single source provider, used to dry or cure a full range of coating materials including liquid, powder, Teflon, ™ wax, UV and adhesives, just to name a few. BGK Conveyors come in two parts-specific categories Parts weight. Parts size. Desired production speed. Coating material to be used. These are key considerations when specifying and coupling the right combination of BGK conveyor and curing oven equipment. With an array of choices including chain-on-edge or flatline conveyors, BGK is capable of accommodating an extensive range of equipment needs. Spindle Type… BGK…
