Abstract

Plant (1) for the thermal treatment of a plurality of artifacts, comprising a longitudinal casing (2), a convection tunnel furnace (3) positioned longitudinally within the casing (2), a plurality of stackable trays (4) designed to accommodate said artifacts, where said casing (2) features at least one first vertical longitudinal side (8); said furnace (3) having an entry end (11) and an exit end (12) for said stacks of said stackable trays (4); said plant (1) comprising a first conveyor (5) configured and arranged for the transport of at least one row of stacks of said stackable trays (4) through said furnace (3) from a loading position (6) to an unloading position (7); said plant (1) further comprising a second conveyor (13) configured and arranged for the return transport of said stackable trays (4) from a loading position (14) to an unloading position (15) of said stacks of said stackable trays (4), said plant (1) including handling means (16) for moving said stackable trays (4) from said unloading position (15) of said second conveyor (13) to said loading position (6) of said first conveyor (5) and for moving them from said unloading position (7) of said first conveyor (5) to said loading position (14) of said second conveyor (13); where said second conveyor (13) is located externally and facing said vertical longitudinal side (8) of said casing (2); said first conveyor (5) and said second conveyor (13) having longitudinal advancement axes (L1, L2) that are parallel and oppositely advancing; where said stackable trays (4) have a major axis (Y) and a minor axis (X); where said handling means (16) include multi-axis robots, characterized in that said handling means (16) are located at the head of said loading position (6) and said unloading position (7) of said first conveyor (5), said multi-axis robots being programmed to execute a displacement trajectory of said stackable trays (4) between said first conveyor (5) and said second conveyor (13) and vice versa, said trajectory including at least one vertical upward translational component, at least one horizontal translational component, and at least one vertical downward translational component; and said multi-axis robots being programmed to arrange said stackable trays (4) on said first conveyor (5) with their major axis (Y) transverse to said longitudinal advancement axis (L1) of said first conveyor (5), and to arrange said stackable trays (4) on said second conveyor (13) with their major axis (Y) transverse to said longitudinal advancement axis (L2) of said second conveyor (13).
