Continuous furnaces are a good choice for processes with fixed cycle times such as drying or preheating. The standard models are available for temperatures between 100 °C and 1000 °C. The furnace design in subject to the required throughput, the process requirements for the heat treatment and the required cycle time. The conveyor technology (e.g. belt, rollers) is tailored to the required operational temperature and the charge geometry to be handled. The conveyor speed and the number of control zones also depend on process requirements.

• Temperatures between 100 °C and 1000 °C
