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)

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 conveyor system
Conveyor hanger design
Large cabinet on conveyor

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?


+

We design cabinet lines for dimensions up to 2.5 m (W) × 1.5 m (D) × 1.2 m (H), which covers most industrial and electrical cabinets.
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?


+

Yes. Achieving C4 (720-hour salt spray) or C5 (1000+ hours) requires proper pretreatment (iron or zinc phosphate conversion coating),
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?


+

It depends on your volume, budget and cabinet variety. Manual coating with controlled gun parameters is suitable for medium volume
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?


+

Large flat panels are challenging because of uneven distance from gun to part. We use multiple gun positions,
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?


+

Please share: (1) typical cabinet dimensions (L×W×H) and weight; (2) daily or weekly production volume;
(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.
