Fundamentally, an inline conveyor oven is nothing more than four sections: a heating system, an insulated box, a conveyor mechanism and a control panel. This article will focus on preventive maintenance of the heating system. The other oven sections will be discussed in future issues. Each oven maker assembles the four sections in different ways, and this is what differentiates one oven from another. There also are differences in the quality and quantity of parts. Some ovens have specialized functions or added tooling. Finally, the methods used for assembling an oven will greatly affect the cost and ease of maintenance.
