The Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA), the Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI), Products Finishing magazine and Southern Company have teamed up to provide a comprehensive training course. The Powder Coating and Curing Processes Seminar is scheduled for October 20-21, 2020, at the Alabama Power Technology Application Center (TAC) in Calera, Alabama.
The day-and-a-half introductory course includes classroom instruction and hands-on lab demonstrations. Attendees benefit from personal interaction with the speakers who are seasoned experts in all aspects of powder coating and curing processes. Attendees also receive technical resources to complement the program and gain valuable experience by spraying and curing a part during the course.
The classroom agenda will cover a variety of topics presented by members of the organizations who are dedicated to the education and growth of the industry. This seminar also includes a section on curing that reviews the basics of infrared technology, several useful electric and gas applications, and helpful case studies to prove the benefits to those who use it. Members of IHEA’s Infrared Equipment Division will lead the curing segment and demonstrate the technology in the lab:
- Curing: Infrared Basics — Scott Bishop, Alabama Power Co.
- Curing: Applications/Case Studies — John Podach, Fostoria Process Equipment, a Division of TPI Corp.; Eric Bellon, Heraeus Noblelight America LLC.
- Curing: Interactive Demonstration — Scott Bishop, Alabama Power Co.
The seminar combines the perfect mix of technical information, classroom involvement, hands-on practice, and social interaction for attendees to receive the best overall training value. You won’t find a more cost-effective powder coating and curing training seminar anywhere else. Learn from industry experts in this state-of-the art facility.
Registration fee includes classroom and lab sessions; breakfasts, breaks, and lunch and a networking reception, CCAI’s Powder Coating Training Manual ($65 value), and the newly revised Infrared Process Heating Handbook ($20 value).
