Abstract
A system for heating objects by means of microwave energy in an assembly line fashion is disclosed herein and utilizes a specific microwave oven assembly especially suitable for this purpose. The oven assembly is designed to receive within its heating cavity a continuously or intermittent changing section of a conveyance mechanism, even though the cavity may be effectively sealed off from the ambient surroundings during its heating operation. In this manner, objects, even relatively large objects, can be conveyed into the cavity of the oven assembly where they are heated, then automatically conveyed out from the cavity in an assembly line fashion.
