Abstract

See full text

A conveyor oven defines a heated cavity having an inlet opening and an outlet opening. A conveyor within the cavity extends between the openings. A cover plate is coupled to the oven to at least partially define one of the openings. The cover plate includes at least one air intake hole and at least one air return hole in fluid communication with one another through the first cover plate. Heated air in the cavity enters the cover plate through the at least one air intake hole adjacent the opening and exits the cover plate through the at least one air return hole at a location within the cavity that is spaced from the opening, thereby redirecting heated air that would otherwise escape the cavity from the opening back into the cavity.
