Q. Can I build a Propane heat unit for baking powder paint?

I am trying to find some info on the possible construction of a Propane bake oven for Powder paint. We need to build one around 1500 cu/ft. We have been told that Tube style Propane heaters will do the job, however I do not like to just go with the first thing I hear.

If Someone out there has ever built a Propane oven, or is running Propane for this purpose. Please help with what you may have.

Q. I was using a brick oven to cure my powder coating which were small items. Now the project is expanding and I need to build a new oven. I cannot use electricity, as that commodity is very expensive; it was suggested that I use LPG (liquid petroleum gas) so I need to build a gas fired convection oven. I have worked the size as being 8'H * 6'W * 8'D or 384 cubic feet. Now my dilemma is this: where do I put the fire box (area with the burners) at the bottom of the oven area or to the back and where do I put the ducting for the fan, top of the oven to the front/top of the oven to the back, and how wide do I make the ducting. Looks like I need more than 1 fan. Lastly what would you recommend to line the interior of the oven area, high temp paint or... (I have used 1/8" thick mild steel to make the oven area already; cannot afford stainless steel). Please help in the poor man's way as possible. I've just really started.

Best Gas Burner for Powder Coating Oven

Q. Hi it's been a while since I posted, Question is what is the best make of Gas Burners for Powder Coating Plant, our existing burner is a TC Williams WMG6 and it is 12 years old, we are starting to get faults with lockout's the burner seams to work well but fault finding by engineers is costly as is down time, hence thinking of replacing it with the likes of a Weishaupt Low-NOx, sliding-two-stage, W-series gas burner, model
WG30N/1-C ZM-LN. DIGITAL ? not sure if this will be more reliable but I expect it should reduce gas bills, anyone know of this make, or a better one ?
