INDUSTRIAL CONVEYOR OVENS

Horizon manufactures industrial conveyor 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 equipment—90% of which 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 variable temperature profile, allowing precise heat treatment tailored to specific 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 such as overhead monorail, mesh belt, chain-on-edge, chain-on-flat, slats, baskets, trays, cable, and roller conveyors available. Horizon offers both continuous and indexing conveyor belt ovens, allowing flexibility in part movement through the system. They can be tailored in size and configurations to meet the requirements of even the largest substrates in the production line.

revolutionizing thermal processing with cyclone technology™

Horizon's patented 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:

    Eliminating traditional interior ductwork reduces airflow resistance. Enhanced insulation and extra-thick welded plate walls retain heat, lowering operating costs by minimizing heat loss through the oven walls.

  • High-Efficiency Airflow:

    Optimized heat transfer via high-volume, low-pressure airflow results in shorter process times and potentially smaller ovens.

  • Smart Controls:

    Advanced control systems with PLCs and variable frequency drives enable precise temperature and fan adjustments to match changing production loads.

  • Reversible Air Recirculation:

    Delivers uniform heat distribution, improving processing for sensitive products.

  • Reduced Motor Horsepower:

    Recirculation fans require 75–80% less horsepower, significantly cutting electricity use.

Cyclone ovens™ engineered for peak performance

  • Temperature Uniformity:

    Consistent oven temperature is critical for processes that ensure product strength, structural integrity, and proper coating adhesion. While temperature fluctuations challenge most ovens, Horizon’s patented Cyclone Technology™ minimizes variation to as low as ±2°F—an industry-leading standard.

  • Heat-Up Time and Oven Size:

    Cyclone ovens increase air velocity by three to six times over traditional ovens, enabling quicker heat-up and more efficient heat transfer. This can reduce oven size, conserving floor space.

  • Energy Efficiency:

    With lower horsepower fans, enhanced heat transfer, and compact design, Cyclone Ovens™ offer significant energy savings, making them both cost-effective and eco-friendly.
Tests show Cyclone conveyorized ovens maintain uniform temperature better than conventional ovens.

CYCLONE OVENS™
TRADITIONAL OVENS

CONSTRUCTION

Welded wall sections—no open seams, keeping heat and fumes in.
Tongue & groove panels that allow for heat leakage and the escape of contaminants.

WALLS

Firmer 18-gauge aluminized or stainless-steel sheet metal that is 11% thicker acts as a radiant heat shield enhancing temperature uniformity.
Typically, 20-gauge sheet metal sections slide into each other approximately every three feet, creating a seam between every panel.

FANS

Generates controlled, cyclonic airflow that maximizes heat exchange and lowers resistance, allowing fans to operate at just 20% of the energy required by traditional systems.
Consume 5x the motor horsepower, causing uneven heat distribution that impacts part quality, increases processing time, and raises long-term energy and maintenance costs.

DUCTWORK

Delivers high-volume, low-pressure airflow with no bulky ductwork, ensuring consistent heat distribution through streamlined Cyclone Technology™ design.
Compartmentalized designs with separate heating and airflow sections require extensive ductwork, reducing overall airflow efficiency.

INSULATION

Thicker and heavier non-settling 6" Rockwool™ 4LB industrial grade insulation is used to minimize heat loss and keep oven walls cool to the touch.
Typically utilizes a standard 3”-4” insulation
