Apparatus and method for continuous production of materials

---

Abstract

---

An apparatus and method for the continuous production of materials, preferably for producing material boards made of essentially non-metallic material, comprising

a continuous furnace (1) for continuously heating material (3) on an endlessly circulating conveyor belt (10) anda press (2) provided downstream in the production direction (15),wherein the continuous furnace (1) comprises a plurality of magnetrons (4) for generating electromagnetic waves and hollow conductors (5) with outlet openings (6) for feeding the waves into a radiation chamber (14). The invention is intended to solve the problem of reacting to various operating modes for the continuous furnace and, in particular, to heat up the material used in the best possible manner for later pressing. The invention is characterized in that a control or regulating apparatus (17) is arranged for controlling individual or grouped magnetrons (4) in order to provide them with different powers (L) for producing a differentiated power profile (9), preferably in and/or transversely to the production direction (15). (1491)
