ABSTRACT:
An oven for drying the sealing compound on beverage and food can ends utilizes a prior art serpentine track along which a line of abutting can ends is conveyed through a drying chamber in which heated drying air is directed against the edges of the can ends through a plurality of linear nozzles. The improved apparatus of the present invention utilizes a drying chamber which substantially surrounds the track and includes a plurality of nozzles which direct a substantially uniform flow of drying air against all sides of the line of can ends. The improved apparatus is particularly effective in drying lining compounds on steel food can ends, but is suitable as well for the treatment of aluminum beverage can ends.
