Abstract
A conveyorized oven is disclosed for heating products as they traverse vertically within the oven. The oven comprises an oven housing, duct assembly and a conveyor assembly. The oven housing has a first open end for receiving the duct assembly and conveyor assembly. The duct assembly operates to distribute heat generated by one or more heater elements disposed within the housing. The conveyor assembly comprises a pair of synchronized conveyor mechanisms having opposing surfaces which descend in the oven. Rigid support members are formed on the first and second conveyor mechanisms to receive and support products within the oven. As the products reach the lowermost portion of the oven they are released from the conveyor mechanisms and discharged from the oven.
