An oven may facilitate heating, curing, and/or drying processes for manufactured items, such as shoe parts, using multiple groups of infrared sources. Efficiencies of the oven are achieved through a deliberate airflow characteristic, which is accomplished with a configuration of apertures extending through a circulation plate. A higher concentration of apertures is formed in the circulation plate near a center zone relative to zones near an entrance and exit to the oven. Further, the shape of the apertures in the circulation plate aid in improved airflow within the oven.

A drying device for drying coated, elongated work pieces in a continuous process including a transport device for transporting the work piece. For drying an edge or surface of the work piece, heat sources are arranged in a drying chamber. In a drying zone, drying vapor is generated during drying. The vapor is removed by an airflow. The airflow is supplied via a supply channel and fans. A controller is provided to control the fans.

In order to provide a treatment installation for treating workpieces that is of simple construction and enables optimised workpiece treatment, it is proposed that the treatment installation should include a treatment chamber and a conveying device, by means of which the workpieces are suppliable to the treatment chamber, are removable from the treatment chamber, and/or are conveyable through the treatment chamber in a conveying direction.

Apparatus and methods for bulk processing items on a conveyor belt using an angled axial fan that extends obliquely into a processing chamber and includes a curved back wall forming an air flow chamber. The angled axial fan enhances air flow around a product being processed on the conveyor belt. A heater employs shrouds and a series of baffle plates held together using a connecting pin to heat circulated air in a low-pressure area below the conveyor belt. Baffles in an upper chamber mix and direct heated, circulated air over the conveyed product.

The present document describes methods for drying an aqueous priming coating composition covering an external surface exposed to air of a carbon material, or an aqueous coating composition covering an intermediate substrate covering an external surface exposed to air of a carbon material, to form a layer thereon. Also described are systems for drying a coating composition covering a surface of a carbon material.

A system for automatically controlling an electrode drying includes: an oven which provides a space where an electrode sheet is moved and dried, includes a dryer which applies hot air and/or radiant heat to the electrode sheet, and is divided into a plurality of drying sections; a measuring unit which collects information on a dried amount of the electrode sheet and transmits the collected information to a controller; and the controller which determines a dried level of the electrode sheet based on the information on the dried amount received from the measuring unit, and control a drying intensity of the oven according to the determined dried level. Herein, the controller independently controls the plurality of drying sections.
