Drying and heating web-shaped materials with industrial systems
Industrial ovens and drying and heating systems play a vital role in the materials processing industry. Especially in the drying and heating of sheet materials before or after essential production processes. At Krögel Maschinenbau, we offer a wide range of drying and heating systems that cover a variety of applications.
The selection of the right drying and heating system depends on various factors. The selection criteria depend on the application, the type of material, the required temperature, the dwell time or the required throughput.
We take the time to understand your requirements in detail and offer you a bespoke solution. We analyse your existing production processes to determine the most suitable system. Please contact us and we will be happy to help you find the right industrial oven or heating system.
What are the features of industrial ovens?
A fundamental function of industrial ovens is the heating or heating of materials. Thermal energy is transferred to the material to dry or heat it. Depending on the application and system design, the energy supply can be electric, gas or oil based.
In addition, our systems allow precise temperature control. The result of a regulated and controlled heat supply is a uniform heat input into the product.
Another important aspect, especially for continuous ovens, is the material transport in the oven. We offer both continuous and stacking systems, as well as easy-to-load chamber ovens without integrated conveyor systems. For continuous product batches in the paternoster or stacking concept, a wide variety of heating and cooling zones can be considered for specific customers and products. Depending on the product characteristics, transport and conveying concepts with product carriers can also be realised.
An overview of our various systems
At Krögel Maschinenbau we offer various types of heating and drying systems with different functions and benefits. If you have specific requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will work with you to develop a customised heating or drying system for your production.
Depending on the application and product characteristics, we can offer a wide range of oven types such as chamber ovens, continuous ovens, stack ovens or special ovens.
Continuous oven with stenter frame technology
This proven technology is ideal for drying web-shaped materials. The heat is transferred to the desired material areas by circulating air with a special nozzle concept. The heated circulating air absorbs the resulting moisture and dries the web material gently.
The web material can be kept under tension in the oven by means of vertical or horizontal chain circulations for sustainable and energy-efficient drying. This drying concept can be used to stretch, dry, heat-set, functionalise and coat a wide variety of fabric types.
Stacking oven
This type of industrial oven holds the product in several stacked chambers for drying. This type of industrial oven can be implemented in a space saving manner. Automated drying is possible with an optional loading system.
Chamber furnace
This type of industrial oven is the simplest type of oven. It is characterised by a compact, space-saving design. The textile industry in particular uses this type of drying system to improve the material properties of yarns. These include dimensional stability, crease resistance, colour fastness and water resistance.
Continuous oven with paternoster concept
Paternoster ovens are used for discrete and continuous heat treatment of products. They are used in batch or mass production.
They are characterised by their vertical design, tailored to the customer’s application and the space available in the production area. The product is transported by circulating pods. If required, a wide range of heating and cooling zones can be customised for specific customers and products. Depending on the product characteristics, the gondola transport can be realised with product carriers. Horizontal, vertical or direct airflow systems with nozzles provide effective heating at the desired product points.
Drying or heating with infrared
This drying or heating concept heats the material using infrared rays. This allows heating and drying from the inside out. Depending on the type of infrared emitter, a specific wavelength is generated and thus a defined thermal energy is introduced at different depths in the material. This enables rapid drying or heating and efficient further processing.
Heating rollers
Web materials can be heated by passing them over a heated roller. Depending on the desired surface temperature, the roll can be heated electrically, by steam or by thermal oil. In order to maximise the contact time of the material with the heating roller, a deflection roller in the form of an “omega wrap” is positioned before and after the heating roller.
Drum drying
Industrial ovens, including drying and heating systems, are used in various industries as part of production processes. They are used, for example, to dry or heat materials after treatment and prepare them for the next processing step. Key sectors include the textile, plastics and packaging industries.

What are the advantages of industrial ovens?
Our industrial ovens offer you a range of benefits that are the result of many years of development. By optimising the use of energy, our drying and heating systems increase the efficiency of your production processes. Modern industrial ovens are designed to optimise the use of energy. Efficient heating and drying systems ensure that as little energy as possible is wasted and operating costs can be kept low. Our industrial ovens are often designed so that the heat does not escape but remains in the oven. This allows heat to be reused or recovered, further contributing to energy efficiency and reducing running costs.
Industrial ovens can be seamlessly integrated into existing manufacturing processes and are suitable for a wide range of materials and applications. The systems can be adapted to specific requirements and wishes to achieve optimum results. Krögel Maschinenbau offers customised solutions that are precisely tailored to the needs and requirements of our customers. This means you can be sure that the industrial ovens are optimised to meet your production requirements and ensure maximum efficiency.
