SMART Zone

Uses heat derived from both radiant and convection sources

The SMART Zone blends heat transfer from both radiant and convection sources. A convection plenum above the product band contains radiant panels mounted in-between openings in the plenum. Another convection plenum runs underneath the conveyor. The control of this zone is flexible and it can be configured as pure radiation, pure convection or a combination of the two heat transfer methods. This is a significant advantage when multiple products are produced on the same line.
