Factors to Consider When Designing Conveyor Ovens

Pizzerias, bakeries, and large restaurants need excellent conveyor ovens to meet their customer's demand for quality food. Custom-designed ovens take note of every small detail a baker or chef needs when heating and cooking food. Here are several factors designers consider to manufacture top-notch conveyor ovens.

The Right Oven Type

Conveyor ovens could be continuous or indexing conveyor ovens. Each one has its benefits and pitfalls.

●        Continuous conveyor ovens have a steady speed rate in processing food or components through a circuit.

●        Indexing conveyors use sensors or timers to introduce a stop-and-go sequence on the circuit. This is suitable for automated heating and cooling sequences. Indexing conveyors are a higher investment than continuous conveyor ovens.

Heating Element

Gas and electric conveyor ovens have their pros and cons. Electric ovens are easier to install, clean, and maintain, but it can be difficult to reach the heat levels gas-fired ovens can produce. On the other hand, gas-fired ovens can reach high heat levels quickly, but they can be messy and challenging to clean and maintain.

Heating Profile

All conveyor ovens have their respective heating profiles. They have their heating period, maintained temperatures, and incremental cooling processes. Some can also have re-heating processes before it exits the conveyor. For the right heating profile, consult your fabricator and customize your system to meet your needs.

Airflow

Industrial ovens can have convection or regular heating. Convection conveyor ovens have engineered air distribution systems for optimal time-to-temperature rates for faster, more efficient, and uniform heating.
