Professional Burn-Off Oven Stripping Melbourne - Trusted Since 1989
Looking for professional burn-off oven stripping in Melbourne? Ada Powder Coatings operates Melbourne's most advanced thermal paint removal facility. With over 35 years of experience, we specialise in burn-off oven stripping for engine blocks, cast iron components, machinery parts, heritage items, and industrial equipment.
Our burn-off oven Melbourne facility uses precisely controlled temperatures to safely remove paint, powder coating, grease, and contaminants from metal surfaces without chemical stripping or abrasive damage. Unlike chemical stripping that can leave residues or abrasive blasting that removes material, thermal burn-off provides the cleanest surface preparation possible.
What sets our Melbourne burn-off service apart is our temperature-controlled process that prevents warping, maintains dimensional accuracy, and completely removes all coating layers down to bare metal. This makes our burn-off oven perfect for restoring valuable components, preparing parts for powder coating, and cleaning industrial equipment.
What is Burn-Off Oven Stripping?
Understanding Melbourne's most effective paint removal method
Burn-off oven stripping is a thermal paint removal process that uses controlled high temperatures to incinerate paint, powder coating, grease, and organic contaminants from metal surfaces. In Melbourne's restoration and manufacturing industries, burn-off ovens provide the most thorough cleaning method for metal components without using hazardous chemicals or removing base material.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about burn-off oven stripping in Melbourne
What is burn-off oven stripping and how does it work?
Burn-off oven stripping uses controlled high temperatures (typically 400-500°C) to incinerate paint, powder coating, grease, and organic materials from metal surfaces. The process leaves only ash residue that is easily removed, exposing clean bare metal ready for refinishing. It's the most thorough paint removal method available in Melbourne.
Will burn-off damage or warp my metal components?
No, when performed correctly by experienced operators. Our temperature-controlled burn-off process is carefully managed to prevent warping, oxidation, or material damage. We've successfully processed everything from delicate cast iron heritage items to precision aluminium engine blocks without compromising dimensional accuracy or structural integrity.
How much does burn-off oven stripping cost in Melbourne?
Burn-off pricing depends on component size, coating thickness, and material type. Small items like motorcycle frames start from $150-300, while larger items like engine blocks or industrial equipment range from $300-800. Contact us for a detailed quote for your specific burn-off stripping project.
What metals can be safely burn-off stripped?
Most metals can be safely processed including steel, cast iron, aluminium, stainless steel, and copper alloys. We adjust temperature and duration based on the specific metal to ensure safe stripping. Delicate materials like brass or zinc are assessed individually. We process aluminium engine blocks, cast iron heritage items, and steel machinery parts regularly.
How long does the burn-off process take?
Processing time varies from 4-12 hours depending on coating thickness, component size, and material type. Plus cooling time of 12-24 hours. Complete turnaround including blasting finish is typically 3-5 business days. We offer express service for urgent Melbourne projects.
Is burn-off better than chemical stripping or abrasive blasting?
Yes, for most applications. Burn-off provides complete removal without chemical residues, hazardous waste, or material removal. Unlike abrasive blasting which abrades the surface, burn-off only removes coatings. For components with intricate details, multi-layer coatings, or when preparing for powder coating, burn-off is the superior choice.
