ABSTRACT:
In reflow soldering systems the circuit boards are conventionally transported in horizontal direction from a feed portion through a preheating portion, a main heat-treatment portion, a cooling portion and a discharge portion in linear fashion in the longitudinal direction of the system. Such reflow systems, however, are relatively long and therefore require a lot of space. According to the invention, a heating apparatus, in particular for a reflow solder system, for heating circuit boards is provided with a feed portion for feeding the circuit boards in a substantially horizontal direction, at least one heating portion following in transportation direction downstream of said feed portion, a discharge portion for discharging circuit boards supplied from the heating portion in a substantially horizontal direction, and with a transportation device connecting feed portion, heating portion and discharge portion, characterized in that a transportation path of the transportation device extends in the heating portion in a plane substantially in a direction transverse to the horizontal feed or discharge direction, and the transportation path connects feed and discharge portions in a substantially ring-like configuration.
