Abstract
A pin oven for stoving a decorative or other coating laid down by a rotary decorator (28") on cans has an associated transfer device (40") by which the cans are decelerated and transferred in succession from the decorator onto the chain (20") of the oven. The chain carries two rows of pins which are arranged in staggered and offset relation. By operating at a smaller chain circulating speed than the can output velocity of the decorator, the oven provides benefits in the size and thermal efficiency of the oven and reduced chain wear.
