The oven has 5β insulated walls and an aluminized steel interior and exterior. It features three zones: 2β long open belt loading zone, 7β long insulated heat zone with recirculated airflow and 4β long open unloading zone. The mandrels holding product move through the oven on two strands of 60 pitch roller chain on 35β centers, powered by a ΒΌ HP motor drive with fixed speed of 32 inches per minute.
A 4200 CFM, 3-HP recirculating blower provides vertical downward airflow to the workload, while a 325 CFM powered forced exhauster is also onboard. Motor operated vertical lift doors are provided at each end of the oven.
Controls onboard No. 874 include SCR power controller and fused disconnect switch. A PLC controls temperature and conveyor indexing.
