Essential Pre-Coating Equipment
Industrial Drying Oven
Remove Moisture Before Coating
A critical step between pretreatment and powder coating. Ketao drying ovens remove surface water and moisture to prevent coating defects like pinholes, bubbles and poor adhesion.

What Is a Drying Oven and Why Do You Need It?
A drying oven is a heated chamber installed immediately after the pretreatment line.
After parts go through degreasing, rinsing and conversion coating, water droplets remain in recesses,
joints and complex geometries. If you powder coat wet parts, you will see coating defects.
The drying oven solves this problem by:
-
Heating parts to 80-120°C to evaporate surface water quickly -
Creating controlled airflow to carry moisture away from the chamber -
Ensuring parts enter the coating booth completely dry -
Preventing pinholes, bubbles and adhesion failures in the final coating
⚠️ What happens without a drying oven?
Water trapped in recesses will turn to steam when the part enters the curing oven, causing pinholes,
bubbles and poor adhesion. Many coating failures can be traced back to insufficient drying.

Common Question
Drying Oven vs Curing Oven: What's the Difference?
Many buyers ask if they can combine both functions. Here's a clear comparison to help you decide.
| Aspect | Four de séchage | Four de cuisson |
|---|---|---|
| Objectif | Remove water after pretreatment | Cure powder coating (cross-link) |
| Température | cURL Too many subrequests by single Worker invocation. To configure this limit, refer to https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/configuration/#limits | 180–220°C |
| Position in line | After pretreatment, before coating booth | After coating booth, final step |
| Temps de séjour | 5–15 minutes | 10–30 minutes (depends on powder) |
| Parts condition | Wet (after rinsing) | Dry with powder coating |
| Air quality requirement | Standard (moisture exhaust needed) | Clean (no contamination on coating) |
| Can they be combined? | ❌ Not recommended. Different temperatures, positions and cleanliness requirements mean separate ovens give better results. | |
💡 Can you skip the drying oven?
If your parts are very simple with no recesses (like flat sheets), you might use forced air blow-off instead of an oven.
But for most real-world parts—with holes, joints and complex geometry—a drying oven is the only reliable way to

We calculate the exact dwell time during the design stage based on your specific parts.
4. Which heating type is most economical: gas, diesel or electric?
+
Diesel is convenient if gas infrastructure is not available. Electric is cleaner and easier to install but usually has higher running costs.
We can help you calculate the total cost of ownership for each option.
5. How much space do I need for a drying oven?
+
and your conveyor moves at 2 m/min, the oven needs to be about 20 meters long. We design the layout based on your workshop drawing
and can optimize for tight spaces.
