Conveyor Ovens

About Conveyor Ovens Detail

Operation

Conveyor drying uses a perforated belt to transfer feed materials through the dryer. Heated air is either passed under and through, or over and through the belt and product bed before being reheated and re-circulated. Units are normally multi zoned and may have differing airflows in successive zones. Additionally each zone may use a different temperature profile and control. Saturated or close to saturated air is exhausted from the dryer via a central exhaust duct.
Conveyor dryers may be multi pass units, in which the feed is transferred from one belt to another belt below it by gravity. These dryers are usually two or three pass machines. Additionally certain conveyor dryers, such as those used in vegetable dehydration have multiple belts in line, and the feed is transferred from one belt to another.

SAKAVs experience in the design and manufacture of conveyor ovens has resulted in a wide range of units. Electric gas and steam heated units with operating temperatures from 650C to 6500C, have been created for all fields of industry.

Each unit is specifically designed for the customers process and can include:

Multiple heat zones
Extended loading and unloading zones
Special belt construction or attachments
Cooling zone to reduce part temperature
