Abstract
An improved vertical conveyor oven is provided which facilitates the flow of heated air within the oven. The oven includes a housing having a first open end, side walls and a rear wall. An access door secured to the housing at the housing first open end. A perimeter ducting system is formed within the housing, defining an interior heating chamber. The ducting system includes a first portion disposed about and extending inwardly from the housing side walls and rear wall, and a second portion disposed upon and extending inwardly from the access door. A combustion chamber is provided within the housing below the interior heating chamber. A heat circulation fan is provided within the housing above the interior heating chamber. The heat circulation fan operates to draw heated air from the combustion chamber upward through the heating chamber and downward between the ducting system and the housing, exterior to the heating chamber.
