Low Temperature Continous Tunnel Product for Thin Film
Structure and Operation Principle
- Core Structure
Furnace: Constructed of high-temperature-resistant stainless steel (such as SUS310S) or welded carbon steel, with internal insulation panels (such as ceramic fiber modules) and air distribution plates. Air inlets and temperature control devices are located at the top and bottom, and heating devices (electric, gas, or steam) are installed on the side walls. Air outlets and exhaust devices are located at both ends.
Conveyor:
Teflon mesh belt: High-temperature resistant (above 250°C), anti-stick, and wear-resistant, suitable for materials prone to adhesion, such as films.
Stainless steel mesh belt: Made of 304/310S, high-temperature and corrosion-resistant, suitable for high-temperature environments.
Heating System:
Electric heating: Infrared heating tubes or resistance wires provide fast heating and uniform temperature, suitable for high-precision requirements.
Gas heating: Low cost, but requires exhaust gas treatment facilities such as dust collectors, desulfurization and denitrification equipment.
Steam heating: Requires boiler support, has a moderate cost, and is suitable for companies with a steam source.
Temperature Control System:
Sensor: Thermocouples or infrared thermometers monitor temperature in real time.
Control Algorithm: PID control combined with fuzzy control dynamically adjusts heating power and conveyor speed.
Execution Layer: Temperature stability is achieved by adjusting steam flow, fan speed, or gas valves.
- Workflow
The film enters the oven via a conveyor belt. The heating system generates hot air or radiant heat, which exchanges heat and moisture with the film, evaporating moisture. An exhaust device removes moisture. Some designs use fans to accelerate air flow, improving drying efficiency. The cooling section uses natural cooling or fans to reduce temperature, ensuring that the film meets winding requirements after exiting the oven.
