How it works

In the powder coating industry, the new Elcometer 215 Oven Temperature Profiling System is crucial for ensuring a precise and consistent curing process. It continuously monitors both the temperature inside the curing oven and the surface temperature of the product, helping to guarantee that the powder coating adheres correctly without compromising the finish or causing damage.

1. Set Up Set up the profile requirements in the free ElcoMaster® software app using the paint manufacturer’s datasheet and send to the Elcometer 215 Oven Logger via USB or Bluetooth®
	2. CureAttach up to eight air or surface temperature thermocouples around your product to monitor the air and surface temperatures at key points during the cure process.
3. Analyse Once cured the gauge will provide an instant pass/fail based on the collected data. You can then download all temperature data to ElcoMaster® allowing you to create professional temperature profile reports in seconds.

Oven profiling monitors oven and product temperatures, providing insight into curing conditions, helping to ensure coating quality, boost efficiency, reduce energy use, and support process certification.

Ensure Coating Quality

Optimise the oven set up to provide the appropriate cure profile for the coating/product combination to ensure the highest physical and cosmetic properties.

Improve Productivity & Efficiency

Reduce energy costs, curing times and streamline operations – no need to remove the gauge from the thermal barrier, simply connect to the ElcoMaster^® App wirelessly via Bluetooth^®.

Certify Your Process

Assure clients and regulators of your high standards with traceable oven profile reports that clearly verify the consistency and reliability of your process.

Key Features

Ensure Optimum Cure & Quality

– Time at Temperature

Coatings require a specific time at a set temperature to fully cure and achieve their intended properties (hardness, adhesion, gloss, etc.).
The Elcometer 215 Oven Data Profiler accurately records the temperature profile of the powder coated product during the curing process, ensuring they reach and maintain the necessary temperature for the correct duration as specified by the powder manufacturer’s cure schedule.

– Prevent Under-Cure

Insufficient temperature or time at temperature leads to an under or partially cured coating which is soft, prone to scratching and poor adhesion  for example, meaning it will not meet the expected quality. The Elcometer 215 Oven Profiler provides clear evidence on whether the products experienced the required thermal cycle.

– Prevent Over-Cure

Excessive temperature or time at temperature can also be detrimental, leading to discoloration, brittleness, and a loss of coating properties.
The Elcometer 215 Oven Temperature Profiler identifies over-baking by providing a detailed temperature profile history.

Optimise Efficiency & Reduce Costs

– Identify Hot & Cold Spots

Ovens can have uneven temperature distribution. The Elcometer 215 Oven Temperature Profiling System can map these variations, allowing operators to adjust airflow, conveyor speed & burner settings, or product placement to achieve the optimal set up for your powder coated product. This optimises energy consumption and ensures a consistent and uniform cure.

– Optimise Line Speed

By understanding the actual time it takes for parts to reach cure temperature, manufacturers can optimise conveyor speeds, potentially increasing throughput without compromising quality.

– Reduce Rework & Scrap

Consistent and proper curing minimises defects, reducing the need for costly rework or scrapping improperly coated products.

Maintain Quality & Traceability

– Document the Cure Process

The Elcometer 215 Oven Data Logger provides a permanent record of the oven’s temperature performance during the curing process. This documentation is crucial for quality control, internal audits, and demonstrating compliance with customer specifications.

– Troubleshoot Coating Issues

If any coating defects arise, the temperature data can be analysed to help identify if the curing process was within the specified parameters, helping to understand and correct the root cause of the problem.

– Ensure Consistency

By regularly profiling and setting up the oven for each product using oven temperature data loggers, you can ensure that the curing process remains consistent even with variations in product, batch size or ambient conditions.

The Elcometer 215 Thermal Barrier is designed to ensure that the gauge electronics and batteries are protected from the high temperatures as it passes through the oven

Powerful Robust thermal barrier for prolonged use at high temperature – run at 100°C for up to 180 minutes or up to 300°C for up to 60 minutes.Wide range of K-type temperature probes with strong, highly flexible and easy to clean Teflon® coated cables

Clamp Air Probe	Clamp Surface Probe	Magnetic Air Probe	Magnetic Surface Probe	Combined Clamp & Magnetic Probe
A clamp air probe, often located in channel 1, is the main trigger for oven processes. Its low thermal mass allows it to respond quickly to changes in oven temperature, initiating and halting operations based on the ambient heat around the product.	Clamp surface probes accurately monitor the temperature of the product being coated, ideal for coated products with varying geometries or surfaces that are difficult to attach a magnetic probe to.	Located in channel 1 as the main trigger for oven processes, its low thermal mass responds quickly to changes in oven temperature, initiating and halting operations based on the ambient heat around the product.	Magnetic contact probes monitor the heat within the thermal mass (product).  Magnetic probes are useful to get into the centre of a product however these are only useful for ferrous powder coated products.	The combined probe either measures the surface temperature by physical contact or measures the air when bent upwards.  You can only use it either as an air sensor or surface sensor but not both at the same time.
