At Precision Conveyor, our liquid finishing systems are designed around your parts and your process—not some off-the-shelf kit of mismatched components. Every project begins with a deep understanding of your coating requirements, throughput goals, floor space, and operational challenges. From there, we engineer a complete system—from conveyor to spray booth to oven to controls—all built for durability, accuracy, and ease of maintenance.
What We Build In-House
Unlike integrators who assemble systems from third-party components, we design and build all major equipment in-house:
- Chain-On-Edge Conveyors – Smooth, accurate part transport with built-in rotation or indexing
- Spray Booths – Designed for proper airflow, overspray capture, and operator safety
- Ovens – Gas or electric convection or infrared, with uniform temperature control
- Automation – Robotic loaders, gun movers, indexing logic, part tracking
- Fixtures – Precision tooling for consistent orientation and coverage
- Controls – Allen-Bradley PLCs, HMI touchscreens, part tracking, and diagnostics
Considering a Chain-On-Edge Finishing System?
Built on a Chain-On-Edge Conveyor Foundation
All our liquid coating systems are based on our proven Chain-On-Edge (COE) conveyor technology. These conveyors provide:
Part stability during rotation or indexing
Process accuracy with consistent spacing and speed
Mechanical robustness for demanding environments
Fluid Handling & Delivery
We’re not tied to any single brand. That means we can select the best components for your specific application, and design the fluid handling system around it:
Electronic spray gun, pump, and agitation pneumatic control
Online solvent or flush supply
Circulating or direct-feed fluid delivery systems
2K meter/mix systems
Pressure pots with agitators
Pump-fed systems from day tanks or 55-gallon drums
Automatic color change systems
Automatic flush systems
We design every system with transfer efficiency in mind—getting more paint on the part and less in the air.
Pretreatment Capabilities
Prior to painting, your product may require preparation. We’ve developed a range of integrated pretreatment solutions:
Washing and Dry
Grit Blasting
Pre-Heating
De-stat Blow Off
Masking
Drying, Curing, & Cooling
Our ovens are custom-designed for your part, process, and performance requirements:
Electric Infrared
Gas Catalytic Infrared
Ultraviolet
Convection (Gas, Electric)
Cooling Enclosures (Forced Air)
Controls & Automation
All control systems are designed and programmed in-house by Precision Conveyor:
PLC-Based (Typically Allen-Bradley CompactLogix)
Touchscreen Interface
Part Tracking
Fault Detection
Production History Tracking
Safety Systems
We take operator safety seriously. Every system includes proven safety mechanisms:
Guards / Fencing
Light Curtains
Pull Cords
Door Interlocks
Push Button E-Stop Stations
Air Flow Sensors
Code Compliance
Our designs meet or exceed applicable codes for painting and coating systems:
NFPA 70 (NEC)
NFPA 79
NFPA 86 (Ovens and Furnaces)
CE / UL
CSA / TSSA (Canada)
OSHA
Maintenance Is Not an Afterthought
We incorporate features that make maintenance safer, faster, and less disruptive:
Oven access doors with work lights
Spray booth access doors for filter change
Overspray collection baffles
Observation windows
Conveyor maintenance zones
Auto lubrication systems
Many of our systems remain in operation after 30+ years in tough environments. That’s not luck—it’s deliberate design.
Installation, Startup & Training
Every Precision Conveyor system comes with hands-on support:
On-site installation and interconnect
Startup and debug with customer maintenance team
FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) at our facility
Operator and maintenance training
Proven Platforms & 3D Design
Our systems may be custom-built, but they’re never experimental. Every solution starts with a proven mechanical foundation and is modeled in full 3D using Autodesk Inventor before a single part is fabricated. These digital prototypes ensure proper fit, flow, and maintainability—and give your team a clear picture of how it will all come together.
We sweat the pixels so your team doesn’t have to. Inventor models help us catch conflicts, plan service access, and lock in performance before steel hits the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do your systems cost?
Systems typically range from $50,000 to over $1 million depending on complexity. We always aim for the most economical design that meets your needs.
What is your lead time?
Typical lead time is 12+ weeks from order, depending on system size and backlog.
What info do I need to provide to get started?
Ideally, part drawings, weight, coating type, desired throughput, and available space. But we can start the conversation with just a photo and a goal.
How much maintenance do your systems need?
Very little. Most customers run for years with minimal upkeep. Nobody wants to maintain a dirty paint line.
Can these systems fit in tight spaces?
Yes. With small-radius turns in our COE design and optimized layouts, we’re able to fit systems into extremely constrained footprints.
Can you integrate with our existing equipment?
Yes. We can design our conveyor, ovens, and automation to work with existing spray booths, controls, or robots.
Can you reclaim overspray material?
This is generally not done in liquid systems due to contamination risk. However, we can design for minimal waste and high transfer efficiency.
Can you stop the parts during coating (indexing)?
Yes. We regularly build indexing systems that stop parts in front of spray guns for consistent coating.
Can I visit a similar system in operation?
Yes. Many of our customers are open to site visits.
What happens if something breaks after install?
We provide immediate support from our engineers. That said, most of our systems run trouble-free for years.
Will you sell just one component?
We typically provide full systems, but are happy to quote conveyors, ovens, or controls as standalone solutions.
Do you support upgrades and retrofits?
Yes. We regularly upgrade ovens, controls, and conveyors on legacy systems.
What makes you different?
We build nearly everything in-house, focus on longevity and serviceability, and never hide behind a catalog of mismatched components.
