Box or batch ovens are generally used for low volume production, or for smaller components where it is unnecessary to have a conveyorised process.

The ovens can be designed to specific requirements.  Access is through doors that seal off the oven during the heating cycle.  Doors can be single or double-leaf, depending on the component dimensions and handling system.  Doors may also be installed on both ends to provide through=flow work movement.

Smaller ovens can be fitted with shelves for component loading, alternatively specifically designed load trolleys can be incorporated that enables easier loading and unloading.
