A Galaxy Boost oven is a pre-gel oven used in powder coating to start the curing process without fully curing the coating. The Galaxy Boost is placed immediately after the powder booth and in front of your convection oven. A Boost oven can be powered by either Gas Catalytic IR or the new RHT radiant heaters.
It works by:
The Galaxy Boost uses gas catalytic infrared technology and/or RHT radiant heaters, which deliver fast, efficient heating with minimal airflow.
RHT Radiant High Temperature heaters deliver safe, reliable heat via short-wavelength infrared rays from gas combustion (Natural Gas or Propane). Infrared energy is absorbed rapidly and evenly by exposed materials, making them ideal for high-temperature processes such as dry-off and pre-gel. These units can bu used alongside Gas Catalytic IR heaters or by themselves.
Constructed entirely from high-temperature-rated stainless steel, with each burner featuring a precision pre-mix system for a consistently calibrated air-to-gas ratio.
This results in:
♦ Low-cost, standalone, independent units
♦ Potential remote PLC control
♦ Rapid heating from no Nox units
Adding a Galaxy Boost pre-gel oven before a conventional convection oven provides clear production and quality benefits. The controlled infrared heat softens the powder coating so it flows evenly and adheres securely to the substrate. As there is less airflow in the pre-gel oven, the powder is not blown off. This enables shorter gaps in production when doing color changes.
This results in:
♦ Uniform film thickness
♦ Improved edge coverage
♦ Reduced surface defects
By sharing the thermal load with the main curing oven, the pre-gel oven reduces overall cure time, thus reducing operating costs. Don’t forget, improved powder transfer efficiency can also reduce powder usage and waste. Improved quality means less re-work, which means further energy savings and a better ‘bottom line’.
It allows the convection oven to:
♦ Run at lower temperatures
♦ Operate for shorter durations
♦ Consume less gas and energy
A WolfRayet Galaxy Boost pre-gel oven can improve the quality of the final product. The improved flow and adhesion of the powder coating material result in a more even and uniform finish, with no cross-contamination between parts.
Achieve:
♦ Smooth, even coatings
♦ No cross-contamination between parts
♦ Durable, long-lasting performance
