<p>An improved curing oven is disclosed. The present invention (10) provides an improved curing oven which cures materials with electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region. The invention consists of a surface (12) lined with a layer of material (14) effective to radiate ultraviolet radiation in response to the application of infrared radiation. In a specific illustrative implementation, the invention (10) includes a second surface (18) overlying the first surface (12) providing a passageway therebetween. The oven temperature is set and maintained by a conventional temperature controller (20). Tne temperature controller (20) measures the oven temperature and controls a valve (22) which adjusts the gas pressure from a gas supply (24) to a set of oven burners (26). Air is supplied through inlet ports (28) included in the second surface (18).</p> |
