Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for continuously sintering a web material with a sintering furnace. An input refractory drive unrolls a refractory material from an input refractory roll and feeds the refractory material upon a furnace conveyor of the furnace. An output refractory drive removes the refractory material from the furnace and rolls the refractory material onto an output refractory roll. An input media drive unrolls the media material from an input media roll and feeds the media material onto the refractory material. An output media drive removes the media material from the refractory material and rolls the media material onto an output media roll. A hanging sensor senses the catenary hang of the media material from the input media roll. A control is connected to the hanging sensor for powering the input and output drives unrolling and rolling the materials in unison with one another and in unison with the movement of the furnace conveyor for maintaining a constant catenary hang of the media material from the input media roll to maintain a constant tension thereon.
