ARE YOU STILL AIR DRYING PARTS?
ARE YOU STILL AIR DRYING PARTS?
WHAT IF YOU COULD CURE FLAWLESS FINISHES, READY-TO-SHIP—IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES? ( INSTEAD OF 1 - 4 DAYS )
THE REAL FINISHING BOTTLENECK IS AIR DRYING— IT’S A THERMAL PROBLEM.
THE HALCON TUNNEL ELIMINATES IT.
THE HALCON TUNNEL.
CURE-TO-SHIP IN 10 MINUTES.
ZERO AIR-DRYING. ZERO BOTTLENECKS.
FLAWLESS FINISHES.
Most manufacturers still finish like it’s 1985. Air drying. Gas ovens. 20-minute cure times. High rework. Line stoppages.
The HalCon Tunnel is different. It’s a hybrid IR curing system engineered to finish most coatings in under 5 minutes and cool-to-touch in 90 seconds—with zero emissions, 99.9% defect elimination, and unmatched throughput. This completely eliminates air drying.
At the core? A dual-phase cure sequence:
Medium-wave IR prepares the substrate.
Short-wave IR penetrates the coating, curing from the inside
out—releasing all trapped solvents. No blistering, no bubbling,
no rework. Just perfect finishes, every time.
Why this matters:
- Hybrid Infrared = Instant Heat, Total Control Medium + short wave IR precisely cure the coating layer—no wasted energy heating air or metal. Reaches full curing temperature in ONE second. 70% less power consumption.
- Zero Air Drying. 5X Throughput vs Gas Ovens Full cure in 5 minutes (vs 20+ mins). Doors cool-to-touch in 90 seconds.
- Cures Coatings From the Inside Out (vs Outside In) Eliminates blisters, bubbling, and delamination caused by trapped solvents—99.9% less defects.
- Programmable Cure Recipes Allen-Bradley PLC runs finish “recipes” by part/coating— repeatable, spec-perfect curing.
- Zero Bottlenecks, Zero Downtime No preheat. No cool-down. Just continuous flow—day and night.
- Integrates with Any Line Works standalone or connects with PowerCart™ or your existing conveyor. Each oven is custom built in 12ft increments..
- 99.9% less defects. Crystal-Clear Finishes. No Do-Overs. Say goodbye to rework. Your best finish becomes your new standard.
- Zero Carbon Emissions—environmentally friendly, OSHA & EPA compliant.
NOW THAT THE CURING
BOTTLENECK IS SOLVED— LET’S REMOVE THE CONVEYOR BOTTLENECK.
HALCON TUNNEL + POWERCART.
THE SMARTEST, FASTEST, AND MOST
EFFICIENT FINISHING TECHNOLOGY EVER BUILT.
Prime Heat Systems eliminate the bottleneck—
delivering 10-Minute cure-to-ship, 99.9% fewer rejects, and ROI in under a year.
THE POWERCART™
LINTELLIGENT ROUTING.
INDEPENDENT PART FLOW.
NO LONGER CONTROLLED BY CONVEYORS.
Traditional conveyors force every product to move at the same speed, in the same order, for the same finish.
PowerCart™ breaks that model completely.
PowerCart™ is a smart, independent material-handling system that replaces fixed-speed conveyors. Load once, and each door moves independently at its own pace — automatically adjusting to mixed door types, coatings, and cure cycles — through sanding, coating, curing, cooling, inspection, and assembly, without waiting on the line or the next batch.
By intelligently routing each door and delivering parts to the HalCon Tunnel exactly when and how they need to arrive, PowerCart acts as the system’s conductor — cutting WIP (work in progress), eliminating rehandling, and completely removing the mechanical bottleneck.
Why this matters:
Independent Part Flow (no towline bottlenecks)
One slow station doesn’t stall the whole line—carts keep
moving and routing.
Intelligent Routing + Track Switching
Each cart routes to the next station. No fixed path. No
conveyor timing constraints.
Fewer Touches Per Door (labor compression)
Load Once → Finished/Ship-Ready Flow—Once the door is
on the cart, it moves through every finishing station until it’s
ready to ship.
WIP Collapse + Floor Space Recovery
Completely eliminate stacking doors to dry/cool. Less
congestion. More usable square footage.
Recipe-Based Cure Intelligence
(with HalCon Tunnel + Allen-Bradley Brain)
Run mixed doors/coatings on the same line with the correct
cure profile—automatically
