Abstract:
The continuous oven for baking planar works according to the present invention comprises an oven main body, a work lifting unit for conveying works upward inside the oven main body in a sequential manner; a work lowering unit for conveying works downward inside the oven main body in a sequential manner; whereby the works are baked while being conveyed by the work lifting and lowering units in a substantially vertical direction. Thus, the works are conveyed vertically most of the time during the stay in the oven, and the floor space area necessary for the installation of the continuous oven can be therefore minimized. In particular, by arranging the works one over the other, typically in a mutually spaced relationship, in the work lifting and lowering units, it is possible to minimize the dead space inside the oven. Also, by avoiding the profile of the oven from becoming elongated in any particular direction, it is possible to reduce the surface area of the oven main body for a given internal volume of the oven. This obviously is highly desirable in terms of the economy of thermal energy.
