1. Gas / electric conveyor pizza oven
At present, conveyor belt pizza ovens are widely used in various pizza shops. It can set the time and temperature. Therefore, everyone can bake the pizza. Moreover, pizza can achieve the same taste. So pizza conveyor greatly reduces the operating intensity of employees. There is no need to train employees too much. Just put the pizza in from one side and take it out from the other to produce it.
(1) What is a conveyor oven?
Because this oven looks like a small conveyor furnace, it is also namely conveyor belt pizza oven. Different from traditional kilns and layer furnaces, it uses conveyor belts to transport pizza from one end to the other.
During the entire conveying process, it uses high-temperature pressurized jet baking technology. That is to say, there is hot air blowing at the pizza above and below. Therefore, the hot air quickly penetrates the inside of the pizza. Finally, the pizza is heated more evenly. So the taste is better.
What can you cook in a conveyor oven?
The belt conveyor oven is professional for pizza kitchen commercial use. In addition to baking pizza, you can also bake other foods. For example, you can use it to bake bread, fish, chicken, steak, sausage, burger, french fries, biscuits. Pizza conveyor can also be used for barbecue.
Of course, in order to ensure the baking effect, the food entrance height of the pizza oven is often not high. So it does not apply to all foods.

(2) How does a conveyor pizza oven work?
In order to know the working principle of the pizza tunnel oven, we need to understand its structure firstly.
(1~Pizza oven shell, 2~conveyor belt, 3~wind direction converter, 4~air guide channel, 5~cooling and heat insulation system, 6~control system, 11~inner cavity of oven, 12~wind direction conversion cavity, 13~air inlet, 14~ exhaust outlet, 15~ deflector baffle, 21~ cover plate, 31~ impeller, 32~ heating tube, 33~ motor, 41~ air inlet, 42~ air outlet, 43~ air guide plate, 44~ filter, 45~ shell, 451~ exhaust hole, 51~ blade, 52 ~ cavity zone, 53~ air inlet, 54~ air outlet, 58~ heat insulation board. )
The heating tubes are arranged around the periphery of the fan blade. The oven has a unique internal structure. Firstly, the heating tubes heat the airflow. Then the upper and lower air guide channels guide the hot air flow to form vertical convection. Therefore, a hot air circulation system forms in the conveyor pizza oven. Moreover, the pizza oven uses a hollow stainless steel mesh belt. Therefore, the airflow can pass through smoothly. So the working temperature is more uniform and the heat is fully utilized.
Air impingement principle: There are many exhaust holes on the air guide plate. So the inner and outer plates in the upper and lower air guide channels form the airflow into jet-like hot air. The jetted hot air is distributed above and below the conveyor belt where the pizza is placed. Then the fan sucks hot air into the return air passage. So it forms a cycle.
(3) Features of conveyor belt oven

2. Tunnel IR / UV Conveyor dryer screen printing
Conveyor dryers have wide application in the printing industry. It includes silk screen conveyor dryer and uv curing oven. The former usually uses IR infrared heating. Unlike other industries, the baking temperature of tunnel dryer screen printing is often not high. We often use it to dry clothing, T-shirts, leather, electronic components, food, pharmaceuticals, etc.
(1) What is screen printing conveyor dryer
It is also namely tunnel dryer or belt furnace. The tunnel dryers are special for the curing inks on various materials. IR drying tunnel oven can drying most all kinds of ink ( except UV ink). For example, it can cure thermosetting ink, screen printing ink, pad printing ink, plastic ink, glass ink, etc. Of course, uv curing oven dry the UV ink.
Screen conveyor dryer usually uses the infrared heating method. Screen printing tunnel dryer can be suitable for many kinds of materials, such as fabric, paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, glass,wood, silicone. For instance, we usually use tunnel conveyor oven to dry t shirt after printing. In addition, because the drying temperature is often not high, it usually uses Teflon mesh belt and PVC conveyor belt.
On the other hand, UV curing oven is a machine that uses a UV light source to cure UV coatings. It reacts chemically with the photosensitizer in the UV coating. So it can instantly dry and solidify the ink or glue. The core component of conveyor curing oven is the UV lamp. It can use high-pressure mercury lamps, metal halide lamps or LED lamps. The equipment has wide application in the curing of glue after dispensing products in the glass, electronics, and 3C industries. For example, the mobile phone screen panel is cured with a UV dryer. Unlike traditional hot air curing, UV curing oven is more efficient.
(2) How does screen printing conveyor dryer work?
Similarly, in order to understand the working principle of screen tunnel dryer, we must first understand its structure. The screen tunnel dryer usually consists of heating tubes, wind motor, impeller, belt conveyor and a control system.
Multiple infrared heating tubes are installed on the cover of conveyor oven. The mesh belt conveys the printed products to the drying working zone. When screen tunnel dryer starts to work, the wind motor will drive the impeller to rotate. So it makes the hot air blow to the belt. Then it will dry the printed matter that has passed. Since the hot air flow is evenly distributed in the working zone, the drying effect is very good.
The working principle of uv curing oven
UV curing is a technique for obtaining a coating film through the rapid polymerization of a monomer/oligomer mixture. This drying is achieved using photoinitiators and high-performance lamps. The UV tube lights up and emits ultraviolet light with a main peak of about 360nm. Then, UV light irradiates the ink layer to cause the acrylic resin of the ink to crosslink and cure.

3. High Temperature continuous heat treatment tunnel dryer
In industrial production, it is often necessary to heat and dry products. High-temperature treatment on the surface of the workpiece to achieve curing. At present, most continuous tunnel dryers have several areas, such as loading area, heating area, cooling area and unloading area. There is a mesh belt conveyor in the drying furnace. It conveyors the workpiece for heating. Then transport to the cooling zone for cooling treatment. All processes are automatically completed at one time. The operation is simple, so it saves labor cost.
(1) What is continuous tunnel dryer?
Tunnel furnace adopts hot air circulation and far-infrared method to dry products. Industrial conveyor oven is mainly to meet the high-yield drying needs. The tunnel oven is a continuous drying equipment. It can continue to bake uninterruptedly, thereby improving production efficiency.
The advantage of mesh belt oven resides in the fact that it is a continuous heating furnace. Therefore it does not require that the pieces to be heated remain stopped. Due to its great versatility, tunnel dryer with conveyor has multiple applications.
Tunnel dryer can be used for drying and baking in industries such as food, textiles, and small die-casting parts. Or use it to dry painted workpieces. In addition, conveyor belt oven is also applicable for continuous drying and sterilization of zitter bottles, cosmetic bottles, pharmaceutical glass bottles, Chinese medicine and other materials.
Some specific application examples:
① There are a large number of rectifiers in automotive electronic products. The fixing and installation of the rectifier is generally like this: Firstly, apply the flux and solder. Then heat them at high temperature in industrial tunnel oven.
② After completing first impregnation, the solid capacitor needs to be put into the drying furnace to dry the water vapor. Then carry out the second impregnation.
③ In the home appliance industry, phosphating film acts as the bottom layer of electrophoretic coating and has been applied almost 100%. After painting, we need put them into a tunnel conveyor dryer for drying.
④ High temperature heat treatment is required in the metal industry. For example, we need to put the spring in a continuous tunnel dryer for heating. This significantly improves the performance and service life of the spring.
(2) Tunnel Dryer Working Principle
The tunnel furnace plays a role by heating tubes. Firstly, heater converts electrical energy into thermal energy. Then the heat is blown into the air inlet duct and conveyor oven by the fan. This forms a hot air circulation.
Generally, it uses far infrared to heat the furnace. IR rays can reach every corner of the conveyor furnace. The internal hot air circulation makes the upper and lower temperatures in the tunnel dryer more uniform. So it can ensure product baking quality.
(3) Features & Advantages of Continuous Tunnel Dryer
① First of all, precise temperature control system: PID control, with temperature self-tuning function;

① The power supply lacks phase. If so, several lamps usually do not light at the same time. At this time, measure whether the input 3-phase voltage is normal. Or check the lamp circuit of tunnel dryer.
② The lamp tube is damaged. At this time, we need to replace the heating tube.
4. Food microwave drying oven
Conveyor microwave oven is a device that uses electromagnetic waves to heat materials. It is to splice several furnace bodies together. Then it forms the tunnel microwave oven. It is industrial microwave equipment. In addition to the drying effect, microwave tunnel dryer can also sterilize. So it has wide application in industrial mass production.
This microwave drying oven becomes popular for heating, drying or sterilizing various products in the food, chemical, and furniture industries. After dyring & sterilization, the food shelf time can be extended by 3 to 8 times.
(1) How does tunnel microwave conveyor oven works?
When the tunnel furnace is in operation, the microwave generator produces microwaves. Then, the conveyor transports the material to the microwave heating cavity. At this time, the moisture in the material is heated to evaporate. In addition, the dehumidification system discharges water vapor to achieve the purpose of drying. Moreover, the bacteria in the material will also be killed. Due to the microwave electromagnetic field, biological and thermal effects will occur. So microwave tunnel dryer has a bactericidal effect.
(2) Characteristics of microwave conveyor dryer
① Fast drying speed;
② Heat and dry evenly;
③ Keep the original color of the material;
④ High energy saving efficiency;
⑤ Simple operation and large selectivity;
⑥ Easy to realize automatic assembly line production;
(3) The correct operation process of microwave tunnel dryer
① Firstly, check whether wire connection are normal.
② For tunnel dryer, check the tension of the conveyor belt. Because after a long period of production operation, the oven belt may loosen.
③ Then, turn on the transmission system and the fan cooling electrical part. Observe whether there is any abnormality in the unit of the microwave conveyor oven and the heat dissipation system.
④ When the power on, it should be idling for a short period of time. After normal operation, then add materials onto microwave conveyor dryer.
⑤ Technicians should always pay attention to the changes in the value of the instrument. If the value fluctuates abnormally, press and hold the emergency stop button of the device immediately.
⑥ When finishing work, cut off the power first. Then clean up the microwave drying oven.
5. Comparison of several tunnel conveyor ovens
Understanding the characteristics of different baking equipment will help us make better choices. Next, we will introduce the comparison of drying ovens.
(1) pizza conveyor oven vs deck oven
For deck oven: This type of oven is the most common. Many pizzerias use deck oven. This kind of oven uses the upper and lower fire to heat up. It takes a long time to bake. In addition, you need to flip the pizza constantly.
Pizza baked in a deck oven has a lot of moisture. It is easy to cause the pizza bottom to separate from the cheese. Especially for fruits or ingredients with high water content. This kind of oven is easy to dry and burn the pizza. Besides, the heating is uneven. So it will affect the taste. Of course, deck oven is cheaper than conveyor toaster oven.
For conveyor pizza oven: It uses high temperature pressure jet baking technology. The hot air quickly penetrates the inside of the pizza. So it makes the heating more even and the taste is better. Moreover, you can easily adjust the temperature and time of pizza tunnel oven according to your own needs.
During the baking process, no need human intervention. We just need to wait for the pizza to come out from conveyor pizza oven belt. The whole process is simple and efficient, saving time and effort.
(2) conveyor dryer vs drying oven
For drying oven: it usually means the industrial vertical dryer. The product placement method is generally tray push or push rack push. Drying oven occupies a small area. Compared with the tunnel conveyor dryer, the price is relatively cheaper. But the production capacity is small. Moreover, it requires manual loading and unloading.
For conveyor dryer: Continuous tunnel furnace has higher price. And it occupies large area. But tunnel dryer is efficient. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for mass drying operations. The tunnel furnace adds a baking furnace cover on the basis of the conveyor production line. The product enters the conveyor oven from one end trough the oven belt. After drying, it moves out from another end. Therefore, it requires no manual handling. So save time.
(3) infrared conveyor oven vs microwave tunnel dryer
For IR conveyor dryer: Infrared heating uses the principle of electromagnetic radiation heat transfer. It transfers heat in a direct way to achieve the purpose of drying objects. Infrared has a shorter wavelength than microwaves, so its energy is higher than microwaves. IR heating is from the outside to the inside. Firstly ir conveyor oven heat object surface. Then the temperature rises, thereby evaporating water.
In terms of application, infrared tunnel furnaces are more commonly used in industrial fields. Although it can also dry food, it has no sterilization function.
For microwave tunnel dryer: Because the vibration frequency of the microwave and water molecules is close, it is conducive to the formation of resonance. So it allows the food to heat up evenly from the inside. Moreover, microwave conveyor dryer has sterilization function.
6. How to choose right tunnel conveyor oven dryer?
When buying drying equipment, you need to pay attention to various details. Only so we can choose a good conveyor dryer. In addition to clarifying the basic dimensions and parameters of the oven, it needs to confirm the following key points.
(1) Choose conveyor pizza oven
As mentioned above, although the deck oven is cheaper, the pizza made by conveyor oven tastes better. So if you’re pizza shop, it’d better to choose commercial conveyor pizza oven.
① gas or electric conveyor pizza oven?
In fact, the taste is similar. Compared with an electric oven, the cost of a gas pizza oven is lower. The operating cost of an electric pizza oven is directly proportional to the volume. The larger the volume, the greater the power. Then it costs more electricity.
② choose the heating type
The heating method will affect the taste of the pizza. Some pizza conveyors are similar in appearance. But it uses is vertical heating. The fan is on the side. When opening belt oven, the fan blows out the heat in the oven. As a result, the people outside are too hot. But the temperature of the pizza in the oven does not meet the requirements. Moreover, the heating is uneven. The pizza is not only bad in appearance, but also bad in taste.
So we must communicate well with the manufacturers. Make sure that the pizza oven uses hot air jet technology. Because only with this baking technique, the pizza tastes better.
③ Thermal insulation effect
(2) Choose industrial continuous conveyor tunnel dryer
Tunnel furnaces have a wide range of applications. When purchasing, it is very important to confirm the technical details.
① First of all, inform the product application information
The customer needs to inform the relevant information of the products for drying, such as product size, baking process requirements. Is it necessary to bake moisture or to bake its paint or flux, etc.
Additionally, what is the baking temperature range? Is there a temperature difference requirement? How about the heating time? And how long does it take to reach the drying temperature?
② Secondly, confirm the materials & types of conveyor dryer parts
For inner plate material: when working temperature less than 300℃, it can choose the cheaper galvanized sheet. If it is greater than 300°C, stainless steel should be used. Sometimes in order to prevent material deformation, it is necessary to increase the frame.
For conveyor belt: different applications, different conveyor oven belts to choose. For conveyor dryer screen printing, we usually choose the Teflon mesh belt. Because the temp. is not high in printing industry, the Teflon belt can bear 0~250℃. If tunnel dryer temperature is higher, we need to use stainless steel mesh belt. For example, for conveyor pizza oven, it also uses the stainless steel mesh belt. Of course, all of them use the conveyor belt as a direct conveying carrier.
If you need use the tray as conveying carrier, it can choose the roller conveyor or slat chain conveyor. In addition, if the baking temperature is not higher than 80°C, it can also use PVC or PU belts. In the electronics industry, we usually choose belt conveyor dryer.
③ Thirdly, conveyor dryer heating elements to choose
For industrial conveyor ovens, there are several heaters available. Among them, the transparent quartz tube and black ceramic tube use the infrared heating principle. Quartz heater has very wide applications. But it’s fragile during transportation.
The second is stainless steel heating tube. It is an electric heating element with a metal shell. It is sturdy and durable. However, the heating time is not as fast as other heating tubes.
The third type is the w-shaped heating tube commonly used in tunnel dryers. It uses a metal tube as its outer shell. Electric heating alloy wires are evenly distributed inner the tube. At the same time, metal heat sinks are wound on the surface. So conveyor dryer with this heater has faster heating speed and thermal efficiency.
