Why Does IntelliFinishing Always Work with Midwest Finishing Systems?

When it comes to building a complete IntelliFinishing system, Midwest Finishing Systems is a key partner—and for good reason. As John Claman of IntelliFinishing explains, the partnership isn’t just based on quality equipment, but on years of close collaboration and a shared commitment to delivering top-tier finishing systems.

One of the biggest advantages of working with Midwest is their equipment customization. For example, they’ve developed split-top ovens specifically to accommodate IntelliFinishing’s overhead friction-driven conveyor system. Since IntelliFinishing carriers operate above the oven and rely on synthetic rubber wheels, it’s crucial to keep that heat-sensitive material out of high-temperature zones. The split-top oven design solves that challenge, making it an ideal match.

In cases where heat levels are lower—such as with liquid coating systems—the conveyor may pass through the oven like in traditional setups. But for most systems, the energy-efficient, carrier-friendly split-top design from Midwest is the better option.

Midwest Finishing Systems also streamlines installation. Much of their equipment is pre-assembled and tested at their factory, reducing on-site troubleshooting and speeding up project timelines. Their ability to ship components ready for quick setup saves time, ensures quality, and simplifies the entire build process.

Midwest’s extensive experience in finishing equipment makes them an invaluable resource. Their deep expertise in washers, ovens, cooling tunnels, and environmental rooms complements IntelliFinishing’s focus on smart controls and modular design.

Together, the two companies have created a seamless, turnkey partnership that began in 2008 and continues today—delivering reliable, high-performance finishing systems backed by close coordination across sales, estimating, and operations.
