WolfRayet is a recently launched company offering powder coating systems and gas catalytic infrared (IR) ovens for powder coating, medium-density fiber (MDF) and other heat-sensitive substrates. The company’s Galaxy systems range is varied in order to assist with different types of operations. The Galaxy product range includes:
- The Galaxy 6, 8 and 10 systems. These systems are customizable during the initial design stage and designed for medium- to large-scale operations.
- The Galaxy Lyte. The Lyte is a user-friendly, small-scale system, suited for low-volume coaters to achieve a high-quality coating finish, according to the company. Designed for cabinet shops and existing custom metal powder coaters, it enables powder coating for both wood and MDF as well as metal parts.
- The Galaxy Ultra Lyte. The Ultra Lyte is the smallest system available for those looking to powder coat one kitchen set of MDF doors and draw fronts on a daily basis.
- Pre-gel or booster ovens prior to convection ovens.
- Overhead conveyor systems. These are intended to save space.
“At WolfRayet, our mission is to apply the latest design and technology to manufacturing,” explains Mike Chapman, WolfRayet chief technical and strategy officer. “Working with application partners, we can deliver complete systems. Every system can be used to powder coat MDF and other heat-sensitive substrates.”
Mike Chapman is known in the industry as the founder of Vulcan Catalytic Systems with over 35 years’ experience in gas catalytic IR development. WolfRayet is pleased to have Mike leading the development and implementation of this industry sector.
“We believe that our gas catalytic IR technology, together with PLC systems, gives total process control,” Chapman says. “Altogether, it is a new high-tech, low operating cost solution.”
In November 2022, WolfRayet is showcasing all three of the Galaxy lines at its Gainesville, Texas, facility. Customers are be able to coat their wood-based products on the line that best suits their production requirements.
