Abstract
This invention relates to an improvement in heat-treating equipment for flat, band-like lengths of materials, using a gaseous flowing drying medium, said equipment being composed of a thermally insulated housing with transmission slots at both ends for a length of material, nozzle conduits arranged in sequential spacing above and below the length of material and directed transversely to the direction of motion of said material and being provided with nozzles and communicating with pressure chambers, at least one heat exchanger connected to suction chambers, and at least one circulating fan, the improvement comprising that the upper and lower nozzle conduits include ledge means between the spacings of the nozzles extending transversely to the length of material and forming together a backflow cross-cut means, cover means mounted between the nozzles of a nozzle conduit of the upper nozzle conduits, and the backflow cross-cut means between the ledges of the upper nozzle conduits being covered with stop means, and the backflow cross-cut means between the ledges of the lower nozzle conduits and between the lower nozzles of a lower nozzle conduit being open toward a suction chamber.
