Abstract:
1. A susceptor for heating work product materials, comprising: a plate of electrically conductive material having oppositely facing first and second side surfaces and an axis; a non-conductive coating on the first and second side surfaces of the plate; electrically conductive first and second strips, the first strip being bonded to the coating on the first side surface of the plate, the second strip being bonded to the coating on the second side surface of the plate, each of the strips extending continuously in turns around the axis; a first electrical connector tab on of the first side surface and joining one end of the first strip; a second electrical connector tab on the second side surface and joining one end of the second strip; a conductive link electrically joining opposite ends of the first and second strips to each other so that an electrical current path extends from first electrical connector tab through the first strip and conductive link and back through the second strip to the second electrical connector tab; and a plurality of holes in the plate extending from the first side surface to the second side surface.
