Product Overview
This Compact Programmable IR Drying Oven with Conveyor bridges the gap between benchtop batch drying and full-scale production. It is specifically designed for continuous R&D testing, small-batch pilot production, and process validation of pulp molded products including trays, containers, corner protectors, and custom molded fiber shapes.
Unlike batch ovens where each sample is processed individually, this continuous system allows products to be loaded onto a conveyor and passed through the IR heating zone at a controlled speed – exactly simulating production conditions. The variable belt speed (0.2-5 m/min) and adjustable lamp height (50-200 mm) provide independent control over drying time and intensity.
The conveyor can be configured in two modes:
- Single-pass mode – products pass under IR lamps once for continuous production simulation
- Recirculating mode – products return to infeed for multiple passes, ideal for thicker products requiring longer drying
The oven features 2-4 independently controlled heating zones, each with its own IR lamp height adjustment. This allows researchers to create customized drying profiles: for example, high intensity in zone 1 for initial moisture removal, lower intensity in zone 2 for gentle finishing, and cooling in zone 3.
The compact size (approximately 2-3 meters total length) fits in most laboratory spaces while providing realistic continuous drying data for scale-up to full production lines. The entire system is mounted on a mobile cart with locking casters, allowing it to be moved between the R&D lab and pilot production area as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does continuous conveyor drying differ from batch drying in R&D?
A1: Continuous drying better simulates production conditions, where products move through a drying tunnel at constant speed. This allows you to study the effect of conveyor speed (dwell time) on final moisture content, develop drying profiles that transfer directly to full-scale lines, and generate more accurate scale-up data than batch experiments.
Q2: Can this oven be configured for recirculating operation (multiple passes)?
A2: Yes. The system can be configured with a manual return conveyor or an automated recirculating loop. Recirculating mode is useful for thicker products that require longer drying times than the single-pass oven length allows. The control system can be programmed to count passes automatically.
Q3: What is the typical production capacity for pilot runs?
A3: Capacity depends on product size, belt width, and speed. For example: 300 mm belt width, 1 m/min speed, and 200 mm product spacing yields approximately 300 pieces per hour. For smaller products (e.g., cup carriers), capacity can exceed 500 pieces per hour.
Q4: Can I use the same oven for different product shapes without changing fixtures?
A4: The open conveyor belt accepts any product shape that fits within the belt width and height clearance. For very small or unstable products, we offer custom product nests that can be placed on the belt. Changeover between nests takes less than 5 minutes.
Q5: How does the multi-zone design improve drying quality?
A5: Different drying stages require different conditions. Zone 1 can use high-intensity short-wave IR for rapid initial moisture removal. Zone 2 can use medium-wave IR at lower power for gentle finishing. Zone 3 can be a cooling section. This graduated approach prevents case-hardening and produces higher quality products.
