Daily output of a workpiece based on oven curing time

Oven curing is a critical step in the production of powder coatings, curing the powder coating applied to the surface of the workpiece into a hard, durable film that improves the appearance and durability of the workpiece. During oven curing, the transfer rate of the workpiece has a significant impact on curing time and yield. This article will describe the method and importance of determining the transfer rate and throughput per day based on oven cure time to help companies better control their production process and improve productivity and product quality.


Daily output of a workpiece based on oven curing time


1. The effect of oven cure time on part transfer speed and throughput per day


Oven curing time is an important factor in the speed of transfer and throughput per day. If the transfer speed is too fast, incomplete curing will affect the quality of the coating and cause production losses; if the transfer speed is too slow, production efficiency will be reduced and yield will be affected. It is therefore very important to determine the transfer speed and throughput per day of work based on the oven curing time.

2. Method of determining transfer speed and throughput per day


The method of determining transfer rate and throughput per day can be divided into the following steps:


(1) Determining the oven curing time


Before determining transfer rates and throughputs per day, the oven cure time needs to be determined. This can be done through laboratory tests, actual production on site etc.


(2) Calculating the transfer speed of the workpiece


Once the oven cure time has been determined, the transfer time required for each workpiece can be calculated to determine the transfer speed of the workpiece. 

The transfer speed is calculated as: 

        Transfer Speed = Oven Length / (Oven Cure Time + Conveyor Dwell Time)


(3) Determining the daily output

Once the transfer speed of the workpiece has been determined, the daily production rate can be calculated based on the production time and transfer speed. 

The formula for calculating throughput per day is: 

        Throughput per day = Production time / (oven curing time + conveyor dwell time) x Transfer volume per hour.

3. Importance of determining transfer speed and throughput per day

The importance of determining transfer speed and throughput per day is reflected in the following:


(1) Improving production efficiency

Determining the transfer speed and the daily output of the workpiece according to the oven curing time will help the company to better control the production process and improve productivity. By adjusting the transfer rate, you can maximise the use of the oven and the efficiency of your production.


(2) Reducing production costs

Determining conveyor speed and throughput per day can also reduce production costs. By accurately controlling conveyor speeds and planning daily output, companies can reduce man-hours and labour costs and increase production efficiency and output.


(3) Improved product quality

Determining transfer speed and throughput per day can also improve product quality. Accurate transfer speed control and throughput planning can ensure that the coating is fully cured in the oven, thus improving the appearance and durability of the product.


(4) Improved customer satisfaction

Determining transfer speeds and throughput per day can also improve customer satisfaction. By improving production efficiency and product quality, companies can better meet customer needs and increase customer satisfaction and reputation.

4. Summary

Determining the transfer speed and throughput per day for a part based on oven curing time is a critical step in the production of powder coatings. Through reasonable control of transfer speed and single day production planning, companies can improve production efficiency, reduce production costs and improve product quality and customer satisfaction. 

Therefore, companies should pay attention to this aspect and take effective measures to improve production efficiency and product quality.
