  • Patent number: 10850303
    Abstract: A system for processing a product includes a curing chamber, a light source, and a reflective surface. The curing chamber has input and output openings to permit the product carrying a curable material to move therethrough. The curing light source generates a first curing light beam directed from the curing light source to a first portion of the product for curing the curable material carried on the first portion of the product within the curing chamber. The reflective surface directs a second curing light beam from the reflective surface to a second portion of the product for curing the curable material carried on the second portion of the product within the curing chamber. The second portion of the product is inaccessible by the first curing light beam.
