An improved airflow delivery system () comprising an air moving element () configured to move air in a flow path, a chamber () in the flow path configured to receive product (), an air transfer chamber () comprising an inlet () of a selected area for receiving air in the flow path in a first direction (x-x) and an outlet () of a selected area greater than the area of the inlet for discharging air in the flow path in a second direction (y-y) different from the first direction, an airflow divider () extending across the air transfer outlet and configured to divide airflow in the flow path, an airflow directional () extending across the flow path downstream of the airflow divider and upstream of the chamber, the airflow directional having an upstream inlet face () and a downstream outlet face () and configured to receive airflow at the inlet face and split the airflow into multiple separated sub-paths () within the flow path and to discharge the airflow from the downstream outlet face substantially parallel to the flow path and without substantial reduction in static pressure.

Airflow distribution system

An improved oven () comprising a conveyor configured and arranged to move a product () to be processed through an oven, a primary air delivery system () configured and arranged to provide a heated primary air flow (), a secondary air delivery system configured and arranged to provide a heated secondary air flow (), a processing enclosure () configured and arranged to receive and contain the product and the primary air flow, an insulated enclosure () configured and arranged to receive the heated secondary air flow, the processing enclosure configured and arranged to extend through the insulated enclosure and the heated secondary air flow and to separate the primary air flow from the secondary air flow.
