FAQ

Tunnel Ovens FAQ

Answers to the questions we are asked most often when a finishing line is being planned.

What determines tunnel oven length?

Part size, required soak and conveyor speed. Those three numbers are set together; length is not chosen from a catalogue page.

A tunnel oven is the cure or dry-off block on a moving line. XFS Equipment builds the chamber, heating and conveyor interface as one piece of the process.
