    摘要: An oven includes upper and lower assemblies, a fire box and a heat absorbing and emanating device. The upper assembly forms a cooking chamber and has a front side with an open entry to the cooking chamber. The lower assembly is located below the upper assembly and has an internal cavity. The fire box is located within the internal cavity and includes a heat source. The device is located between the upper and lower assemblies and absorbs heat from the heat source and emanates heat into the cooking chamber of the upper assembly. The upper assembly includes inner and outer dome assemblies. The inner dome is located within the outer dome and forms first and second airflow pathways.

    摘要: The cooking module for a linear tunnel oven for bakery products includes a cooking chamber having a hearth, in the form of a conveyor belt, that is mobile and permeable to a gaseous heat-transfer fluid, a roof, and a heating device in the hearth and on the roof to cook the products. The heating device in the hearth includes a plurality of orifices for blowing the fluid. The belt is mobile above a sliding surface having openings for the fluid to pass through, and is mobile between two positions, a convection position where the openings coincide with the orifices to let the fluid pass through, and a second position known as a radiation position, where openings are offset from these orifices, the surface forming a screen for the fluid blown through the orifices.

    摘要: Conveyor ovens for cooking food according to various embodiments include variable speed fans to deliver air from a plenum into at least two lower cooking zones below a conveyor of the oven, and at least one variable speed fan to deliver air from the plenum into one or more upper cooking zones above the conveyor, wherein a controller operates the fans delivering air into the lower cooking zones independently of each other and independently of the other fan. The fans can be controlled so that air delivered to a bottom side of the conveyor has a speed that is different in the different lower cooking zones and/or is different than air delivered to the top side of the conveyor. In some cases, the speed of the fans is predetermined and set in accordance with the type of food to be cooked.

    摘要: Conveyor ovens for cooking food product according to various embodiments include a tunnel having an entrance and an exit, a conveyor to move the food product through the tunnel, and a canopy at the entrance and/or at the exit of the tunnel. The canopy can include a top spaced above the conveyor, and a skirt extending downwardly toward the conveyor, wherein the top, skirt, and conveyor define a partially enclosed space through which food product carried by the conveyor passes. Some conveyors ovens have a first configuration in which a cooking chamber of the oven has a first length, and a second configuration in which the cooking chamber is extended to have a longer second length, wherein food product on the conveyor is cooked along the entire first length in the first configuration, and is cooked along the entire second length in the second configuration.
