INDUSTRIAL CONVEYOR OVENS
WHAT IS A CONVEYOR OVEN?
Horizon manufactures industrial conveyor system ovens, also known as continuous process ovens, designed for applications requiring consistent, high-volume production. These systems provide significant advantages over batch ovens, particularly when uninterrupted processing is essential. The continuous flow of materials through the conveyor oven (90% are belt conveyor ovens) ensures a stable environment, minimizing downtime and optimizing overall production efficiency and throughput.
Horizon Cyclone Ovens™ stand out for their industry-leading temperature consistency, leveraging our patented Cyclone Technology™ to maintain uniformity as low as +/- 2°F. This precision is critical for applications where strict heating specifications are necessary to ensure the quality of the processed parts. Multi-zoned configurations enable a variable temperature profile within these continuous process ovens, allowing precise heat treatment for varying manufacturing needs.
Cyclone conveyor ovens are ideal for processing small to medium-sized parts that can be transported along a conveyor, with custom conveyance methods like overhead monorail, mesh belt, chain-on-edge, chain-on-flat, slats, basket, tray, cable, and roller conveyors available. Horizon offers both a continuous and indexing conveyor belt oven, allowing flexibility in part movement through the oven. The ovens can be tailored in size and configurations to match the specific requirements of the largest substrates in the production line.

revolutionizing thermal processing with cyclone technology™
Horizon's Cyclone Technology™ is a game-changer for the industrial conveyor oven, dramatically improving efficiency and sustainability. By optimizing airflow and temperature distribution, it significantly reduces processing times and the required oven size, saving valuable floor space. By adopting Cyclone Technology™, businesses can achieve both economic and environmental goals while enhancing their production efficiency.
Key benefits of Cyclone Technology™ include:Energy Efficiency:
The elimination of traditional interior duct work in Cyclone Ovens™ minimizes airflow resistance and reduces pressure losses needed for convection heating. The enhanced insulation and extra thick welded plate walls boost heat retention and reduce energy loss. Together they significantly lower operating costs by reducing heat loss through the oven walls.High-Efficiency Airflow:
Cyclone ovens optimize heat transfer through high-volume, low-pressure airflow, resulting in shorter process times and potentially smaller ovens.Smart Controls:
Dependable Advanced Technology Controls feature variable frequency drives and PLC systems to allow for precise temperature and fan control in response to changing production loads.Reversible Air Recirculation:
Cyclone Technology™ ensures uniform heat distribution and enhances process capabilities for sensitive materials.Reduced Motor Horsepower:
75-80% less motor horsepower for recirculation fans, results in substantial electricity savings.
Cyclone ovens™: engineered for peak performance
Temperature Uniformity:
Consistent oven temperature is essential to most heat processes. Some require uniformity to guarantee product strength and structural integrity, while others need it to ensure that coatings and paints achieve optimal adhesion.Temperature fluctuations are a common challenge for most industrial ovens, but Horizon’s patented Cyclone Technology™ minimizes this issue by maintaining an internal oven temperature variation as tight as 2°F—an industry-leading standard!Heat-Up Time and Oven Size:
Cyclone Technology™ accelerates the average air velocity surrounding the part or product to three to six times faster than traditional ovens. This results in quicker heat-up times and improved heat transfer. Faster product heating can reduce the required size of the conveyor oven, saving space with a smaller factory footprint.Energy Efficiency:
With lower horsepower fans, enhanced heat transfer, and the potential for a more compact oven size, a Cyclone Oven™ offers significant energy savings, making it both a cost-effective and eco-friendly option.
