AI Technical Summary
The vertical airflow structure of traditional tunnel ovens increases the friction between the conveyor mesh and the support rollers, shortening the service life of the conveyor mesh. At the same time, the non-mesh conveyor mesh obstructs the airflow loop, leading to screen printing problems.
A vertical airflow structure for a tunnel oven was designed, employing a circulating fan and a perforated plate. The supply and return air are separated, and the air circulates through the side of the material channel, reducing wear on the conveyor network. The perforated plate ensures smooth airflow.
It extends the service life of the conveyor belt, avoids screen printing, ensures uniform temperature inside the furnace, reduces wind noise, and improves energy utilization efficiency.
