What happens here

After powder coating, the parts are conveyed directly into a large oven, which is described as a 'giant oven' stretching across a significant portion of the factory. Here, the coated parts are baked at approximately 450 degrees Fahrenheit. This baking process cures the powder paint, transforming it into a durable, hard finish. Infrared (IR) heaters are used to warm up the parts and 'gel' the powder coat before it enters the main oven, helping to kickstart the curing process. Following the oven, the parts enter a cooling chamber, where fans rapidly cool them down. This sequential process ensures the paint is properly cured and then quickly brought to a safe handling temperature.

Goal: Cure the powder paint and cool the components.

this we're at now so we're at the frame tacking station so we've got this giant frame fixture here that does our full range of light duty snow plows from the 6t all the way up to the 15 1/2 ft light duty snow plow okay so frame tacking so you take tubular steel yep in its raw form yep and then you actually create the frame for the plow right here on one one spot right here we tack everything together we weld the hard to get two areas and then we send it over to the frame all right guys let's go for a ride we're going to load up a big fat piece of sheet metal on the under the the blah blah blah arm [Music] now this now this will get cut yep into all of the parts for the mle boards for the side wings for everything yeah mboard side frame everything yep we run all sorts of thicknesses on this machine from 16 gauge all the way up to 1
