1. Loading / unloading area:
Firstly, set a mesh belt exposed outside the conveyor furnace at the feed inlet. So this constitutes the entrance area. Then convey material into the drying working area and is dried by hot air circulation. In the end, an industrial fan cools the workpiece. And a mesh belt is set at the discharge port. So this constitutes the unloading zone. The mesh belt is 0.75m above the ground, in order that is convenient for workers to operate.
2. Drying area:
The industrial conveyor oven is equipped with a drying area. There are several heating methods, such as radiation, hot air circulation and radiation + hot air circulation. In addition, with heat preservation, exhaust air, temperature control system, it can make the conveyor furnace constant temperature adjustable.
When the workpiece enters the drying area, it travels at a speed of 0.5~3m/min (speed adjustable). Then dry the workpiece at the set temperature. Moreover, it sets up air transport and exhaust system on the tunnel furnace. Thus the workpiece can be heated evenly in the system. At the same time, the exhaust gas and water mist are extracted to avoid polluting the workshop environment.
3. Mesh belt conveyor system:
The conveying system is a mesh belt conveyor. Conveyor belt can be metal wire mesh belt, slat chain belt, teflon belt and so on. Stable operation, adjustable speed 0.5~3m/min.

Working Priciple of Mesh Belt Furnace

For example, the temperature control of the conveyor furnace supplied to one customer adopts “thermostat + SSR solid state relay + thermocouple control“.

1. when you start the machine, if the temperature is lower than the set temperature, the SSR solid state relay is closed. And then the heating element starts heating.

2. If the temperature is higher than the set temperature, the SSR solid state relay is open. And then the heating element stop heating.
