A 2300-cfm, 2-hp recirculating blower in Zone One and 6000-cfm, 5-hp recirculating blower in Zone Two provide vertical downward airflow to the load.
This Grieve belt conveyor oven features 4-inch-thick insulated walls, an aluminized steel interior and exterior, plus an 18-inch-wide, heavy-duty flat wire conveyor belt with variable speed of 1.4-27.8 in/min. Side access doors are provided throughout for load inspection and maintenance. —[email protected]
