CONVEYOR OVENS
  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 airflow's 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.
SAKAV's 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 customer's process and can include:
-     multiple heat zones
-     extended loading and unloading zones
-     special belt construction or attachments
-     cooling zone to reduce part temperature
Our experienced engineers will work closely with you to develop a conveyor oven to meet your particular requirements. Every unit is completely assembled and tested. You are invited to witness test and run sample parts at our factory prior to shipment.

HEAVY DUTY CUSTOM DESIGNED CONVEYOR OVENS

SIZING OF CONVEYOR OVEN LENGTH

To determine if a belt conveyor oven is practical for your application, estimate the heated tunnel length. Belt conveyor equipment is sized to the application based on part dimensions, production rate and dwell time.
Belt width is selected to accommodate the desired loading pattern, such as in line, side by side or four abreast. The loading density, parts per lineal foot, and production rate determine the design belt speed. The design heat zone length is the product of belt speed and dwell time. 

It is important to understand the relationship between belt width, production rate and heat zone length. Doubling the belt width will double the production rate, or allow the heat zone to be half as long.

HEAVY DUTY CUSTOM DESIGNED CONVEYOR OVENS

To estimate the length of belt conveyor equipment required for your application, insert your process information in the relationships below. To the heat zone length calculated, the length of load zone and unload zone must be added. Approximately 2 additional feet of length will be required for belt guarding and drive.

Equipment width will be approximately 3 feet wider than belt width to accommodate insulation, duct work and control enclosure.

(Production rate of …………parts per hour)                   = (Belt speed of ………. feet per hour)
(Loading density of ……….parts per lineal foot)
(Belt speed of ….. feet per hour) X (Dwell time of ….. hour) = (Heat zone length of ………. feet)
