Real Customer Case: Algeria Cabinet Manufacturer
How a leading Algerian electrical cabinet manufacturer upgraded from manual coating to a Ketao automatic line
and achieved stable OEM quality for European export customers.
Algeria Electrical Cabinet OEM
Supplies to European distributors
The Challenge
The customer produced metal cabinets for industrial control systems with manual coating.
Their European buyers required stable film thickness (60–80 µm), high corrosion resistance (C4 standard, 720-hour salt spray),
and consistent surface quality across batches.
Problems with the manual line:
- • Film thickness varied 40–100 µm → rejection rate 25%
- • Operators struggled with large flat panels (uneven coverage)
- • Salt spray failures on edges and corners
- • Cannot scale production for new export orders
The Ketao Solution
Ketao designed a semi-automatic powder coating line with:
- • Heavy-duty overhead conveyor (600 kg per hanger capacity)
- • 7-stage pretreatment tunnel with iron phosphate conversion coating
- • Manual coating booth with 4 operator positions + gun parameter control
- • Gas-fired curing oven with ±3°C temperature uniformity
- • Powder recovery system to reduce cost
The Result
60-80 µm
Film thickness (±5 µm)
< 3%
Rejection rate
+40%
Output per shift
Customer Quote
"Ketao helped us move from manual guesswork to a controlled, stable process.
Our European customers now trust our quality, and we can accept larger orders with confidence.
The salt spray test results improved dramatically after the pretreatment upgrade."

Heavy-duty overhead conveyor with reinforced I-beam structure and precision drive system
for stable transport of large cabinets weighing 500-1000 kg.
Heavy-Duty Conveyor System for Large Cabinets
Standard powder coating lines handle parts up to 100-200 kg per hanger. Electrical cabinets and large enclosures
often exceed 500 kg per unit, requiring reinforced conveyor structure, larger hangers and more robust drive motors.
Ketao cabinet line conveyor features:
-
Load capacity: 500–1000 kg per hanger (customized per project) -
I-beam structure: Reinforced steel I-beam track for stability under heavy load -
Precision drive: Inverter-controlled motor for smooth start/stop with heavy parts -
Custom hangers: Designed to match your cabinet dimensions and mounting holes -
Safety interlocks: Overload detection and emergency stop for operator safety
💡 Engineering Note
We calculate conveyor load based on your largest and heaviest cabinet + hanger weight + safety factor (1.5–2×).
Share your cabinet dimensions and weight for a properly sized system.
High Corrosion Resistance for Outdoor & Industrial Environments
Electrical cabinets and control enclosures are often installed outdoors or in harsh industrial environments.
Meeting C4 or C5 corrosion resistance standards requires both proper pretreatment and coating system design.
C2
Low Risk
Indoor, dry environments (offices, clean rooms)
Salt spray: 240 hours
C3
Medium
Indoor with occasional moisture, outdoor rural areas
Salt spray: 480 hours
C4
Common Target
Outdoor urban/industrial, coastal areas (>10km from shore)
Salt spray: 720 hours
C5
Very High
Coastal areas (<10km), heavy industrial pollution
Salt spray: 1000+ hours
How Ketao Achieves C4–C5 Corrosion Resistance
Proper pretreatment
Iron phosphate or zinc phosphate conversion coating for strong adhesion and corrosion resistance
Adequate film thickness
60–100 µm for C4, 80–120 µm for C5 (edges need extra attention)
Quality powder selection
Outdoor-grade powder with UV stability and corrosion inhibitors
Consistent process control
Stable line speed, gun settings and curing profile to avoid weak spots

Cabinet Powder Coating Line FAQ
Common questions from cabinet manufacturers about powder coating line design and specifications.
1. What is the maximum cabinet size your line can handle?
+
For even larger enclosures or special dimensions, we can customize the booth, oven and conveyor accordingly.
2. Can your line meet C4 or C5 corrosion resistance standards?
+
adequate film thickness (60-120 µm), outdoor-grade powder and stable process control.
We design the complete system to meet your target corrosion resistance level.
3. Should I choose manual or automatic powder coating for cabinets?
+
and many cabinet models. Automatic guns with reciprocators are better for high volume and repeat production.
We can also design a hybrid system (automatic for large flat panels, manual touch-up for edges/corners).
4. How do you ensure uniform film thickness on large flat cabinet panels?
+
adjust gun angle and stroke, optimize powder output and line speed, and sometimes add rotation or tilt mechanisms.
Proper training and gun parameter control are also critical for consistent results.
5. What information do you need to design a cabinet powder coating line?
+
(3) corrosion resistance requirement (C2/C3/C4/C5); (4) workshop layout and available space;
(5) energy type preference (gas/diesel/electric). Cabinet photos and drawings are also very helpful.
