Convection drying for demanding surfaces
Convection drying is a central process step in industrial coating lines - from wood and furniture parts, plastics and metals to construction elements and technical components. Warm air removes moisture and solvents in a targeted manner, creating a stable coating film and curing the surface evenly. Optimised air flow ensures reliable quality and energy-efficient operation.

Stable and energy-efficient convection drying processes
With the VEN DRY AIR drying systems, Venjakob realises stable and energy-efficient convection drying processes. The drying systems have a modular design and can be flexibly integrated into new or existing lines. Depending on the application, nozzle drying channels, multi-level systems or vertical drying concepts are available. This produces uniform results with variable geometries and cycle times.

Advantages of convection drying
Coating drying offers high process reliability, flexibility and energy efficiency - ideal for varying materials, components and line speeds.
- Uniform heat and air distribution
- Reliable drying of water-based and solvent-based coating systems
- Gentle processes for complex or sensitive substrates
- Energy efficiency through air recirculation and heat recovery
- Flexible integration into new and existing production lines
Combination options for convection drying
Coating drying can be flexibly combined with other processes to cover short process times, stable film formation or specific material requirements.
- IR drying for accelerated surface evaporation
- UV curing for radiation-curing coatings
- Cool drying to stabilise the coating films
- Exhaust air purification for low-emission air flow
- Industrial robotics for reproducible series quality
The future of convection drying
Coating drying is developing rapidly: energy efficiency, stable process control and digital networking are becoming increasingly important. At Venjakob, we combine proven airflow technologies with modern, data-based control and optimisation approaches to make drying processes even more precise, sustainable and economical:
- AI-supported control of air volume, temperature and humidity
- Optimised air recirculation and heat recovery
- Hybrid solutions with IR and UV for shorter drying times
- Adaptive zone technology for changing speeds
- Networked process monitoring via VEN CONTROL
What is convection drying?
Warm air removes moisture or solvents from the coating and allows it to dry evenly.
Which materials are suitable for convection drying?
Wood, furniture parts, plastics, metals, doors, building elements and technical components.
What are the advantages of convection drying?
Reliable, uniform and energy-efficient drying.
How is the air channelled?
Via top, bottom or cross flow - depending on the geometry and process requirements.
Can convection be combined with IR or UV?
Yes, for shorter drying times and more stable coating films.
