01How do I choose between mesh, flat-belt and roller conveyors?+
Start with stable product support, temperature and contact requirements. Check mesh openings against part size, flat-belt material against the process, and roller pitch against the product underside. Slat, chain and dedicated-carrier arrangements can also be reviewed for other loads.
02Can I increase throughput by increasing conveyor speed?+
A higher speed reduces residence time in a fixed heated path. Validate the part temperature profile and process result before changing speed, while also checking product spacing, lane count and adjacent line capacity.
03Is heated length the same as overall oven length?+
No. The installed length may also include loading and discharge extensions, transitions, cooling and drive sections. Specify the heated path separately from the overall installation footprint.
04Does reaching the oven setpoint mean the product is ready?+
Not necessarily. Use the required part temperature, moisture level, cure result or other acceptance criterion. Air temperature and residence time are process inputs, not substitutes for product acceptance.
