Grant Recorder

The purpose of the Grant Recorder, is to take the guesswork out of curing the powder coating.

Thin light parts do not need the same time in the oven as heavy thick parts, thick heavy parts need longer in the oven than thin light parts.

This might sound obvious, but mistakes are frequently made in this area, many company's applying powder coatings have no method of ensuring the parts reach the right temperature, its no use using the temperature gauge on the oven, that only tells you the temperature where the thermo-couple is, it may even need calibrating!

The oven may even have cold spots, if the air distribution dampers are not set correctly.

At Industrial Finishing Specialists, no such guess work is used, we attach air and metal temperature probes to the the work, and the probes are attached to the recording unit, the recording unit is then placed in a thermos flask to keep it cool, then everything goes into the oven.

This way we get a very accurate reading of the product temperature and the oven temperature where the product is. 

As the substrate temperature rises, the readings are recorded on a roll of paper within the device.

Once the readings have been assessed, the correct curing time and temperature can be set for production.
