Conveyorized furnace is used to carry process parts or material through the primary heating chamber for rapid thermal processing. It is designed for fast drying and curing of products and is nowadays widely used in the firing process of thick film and process of manufacturing. Other names for conveyor belt furnace include metallization furnace, belt furnace, atmosphere furnace, infrared furnace, and fast fire furnace.

A conveyorized furnace is designed to integrate several stages of product heat treatment into a single, useable piece of machinery, which operates continuously to improve factory throughput.

Due to the wide application of conveyorized furnace, their schematics vary. The furnace structure is always centred around the thermally resistant, mesh conveyor , which is loaded from an accessible entrance table. However, the heating modules used are not uniform and different processes may require additional sections for specific processes. For the purposes of brevity and clarity, this article will discuss some of the most common heating modules.
