Abstract

The continuous furnace serves for the simultaneous two-sided sintering of sintered sheets upon substrates. It has a muffle and a conveyor belt longitudinally traversing the muffle and carrying the substrates and consisting of a pair of individual belts which are guided in parallel next to each other and synchronously. The belt surfaces are mutually inclined at a small angle to the horizontal in the muffle. The substrates which are self-supporting between two parallel lateral edges, lie with one lateral edge on the belt surface of one individual belt and with the second lateral edge on the belt surface of the other individual belt, so that the bottom side of the substrate does not touch the individual belts.
