摘要 |
The invention relates to an apparatus and to a method for continuous production of materials, preferably for the production of material panels from substantially non-metallic material, comprising a continuous furnace (1) for continuous heating of material (3) on a continuously circulating conveyor belt (10) and a press (2) connected downstream in the production direction (15), wherein the continuous furnace (1) has a plurality of magnetrons (4) for producing electromagnetic waves wherein the continuous furnace has hollow conductors (5) having discharge openings (6) for feeding the waves into a radiation chamber (14). The problem addressed by the invention is that of enabling a reaction to various modes of operation for the continuous furnace and in particular that of heating the material used in an optimal manner for later compression. According to the invention a control or regulating device (17) is arranged for controlling individual or grouped magnetrons (4), in order to operate the magnetrons using different powers (L) in order to create a differentiated power profile, preferably in and/or transversely with respect to the production direction (15).
