Conveyor Oven Basics

Conveyor ovens offer a myriad of advantages in comparison to other industrial ovens. One of the primary advantages of choosing a conveyor-type oven is that they are easy to use. Oven operators simply adjust the temperature and conveyor speed, place the products to be processed onto the conveyor, and wait until the finished products work their way to the other end of the conveyor belt to receive them.
 

As its name suggests, conveyors are an integral component to conveyor ovens. 

They allow for even distribution of heat dissipation that is repeatable and consistent for day-to-day operations. It is for this reason that conveyor-type ovens are chosen over other industrial oven types. 

Food preparation in particular benefits greatly from the efficiency and reliability of conveyor-type ovens. For consistent results, conveyor-type ovens effectively provide consistency in temperature and heat distribution as the food products make their way through the oven. This guarantees product uniformity. 

Factors that Affect Process Results

Depending on your needs, you’ll want to ensure you have the right industrial conveyor-type oven for the job. If you’re looking to have an oven custom manufactured, you’ll need to consider three essential factors related to the conveyor belt that can affect process results: the length, width, and speed of the belt. 

Belt length affects the absolute amount of heat the product will be exposed to as it is conveyed through the oven. Belt width will determine how many products can be conveyed in one session. Belt speed plays an essential role in determining the deviation of heat exposure for the product you’re looking to convey through the oven.
