ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for curing cylindrical and belt-like substrates include a curing chamber defining a horizontal central axis; a support structure selectively receivable within the curing chamber for supporting at least one substrate along a horizontal axis radially offset from and parallel to the central horizontal axis and for rotating the at least one substrate about the offset horizontal axis; and a curing device located within the curing chamber for expelling temperature controlled air toward the at least one substrate as the at least one substrate rotates about its offset horizontal axis. Preferably, the curing device is located along the central horizontal axis for expelling air radially outward. In a preferred embodiment, the support structure supports a plurality of substrates in a planetary configuration surrounding the central horizontal axis, each substrate being located along an offset horizontal axis radially spaced from and parallel to the central horizontal axis.
