Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer device for loading and/or unloading a food treatment unit (1a, 1b), with a movable transfer trolley (3) which has a support device (20, 22) for at least one loading rack (27, 28) or for at least one product carrier, with a drive (19) for moving the transfer trolley (3), and with at least one actuator (21, 23) arranged on the transfer trolley (3), which actuator is configured to move the loading rack (27, 28) or the product carrier into a receiving device (25, 26), located on a first side (13) of the transfer trolley (3), of the food treatment unit (1a, 1b) and to remove it therefrom. The task of the invention is to make the loading and/or unloading of a food treatment unit (1a, 1b) particularly flexible, time-efficient and cost-efficient.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for treating foods, comprising at least one treatment unit (6, 21) which has at least one treatment chamber which is configured to receive product carriers with foods, and comprising at least one transport cart (1), which has rollers and at least one transport frame for a plurality of products, which can be introduced into the treatment chamber and which can be rolled into a first working position (20-24) on the treatment unit (6, 21). In order to further relieve the load on the personnel, the apparatus has at least one mobile drive unit, which is or can be coupled to the transport cart (1), and the drive unit has a navigation system and is configured to move the transport cart (1) automatically at least into the first working position (20-24).

Abstract: A baking process includes placing a baked goods carrier onto a work surface and filling the baked goods carrier with pieces of dough. Display data may be transmitted using a computer to a digitally controlled display apparatus close to the work surface for displaying a desired filling. The actual filling may be captured by an image recording apparatus and transmitted to the computer. The captured data of the actual filling may be evaluated using the computer and compared to data relating to the desired filling. The computer may be used to act on the filling process and/or the baking process.

Abstract: A baking oven includes an oven housing which has a baking chamber for receiving a baking carriage, a heating device, a fan which generates a flow of a heating medium from the heating device into the baking chamber and back, and a steam system which is arranged in the baking chamber and comprises at least one metal heat storage body and a water supply device. The system described herein provides a baking oven of the type in question in such a way that the thermal energy is optimally used. The steam system is next to a steam heater, which is formed by at least one exhaust gas channel, which runs in a wall of the baking chamber and conducts the exhaust gas of a burner out of the oven housing.

Abstract: A baking oven and a method of operating a baking oven, in particular a shop baking oven, having a baking chamber, in which the goods to be baked can be accommodated has at least one heating system (09) for heating air circulating in the baking chamber (03) and has at least two fans (10, 11) for circulating the air in the baling chamber (03). During a baking operation, at least one co-rotating phase (P1, P3) is provided during which the fans (10, 11) are driven to rotate in the same direction. In addition, at least one contra-rotating phase (P2, P4) during which the fans (10, 11) are driven to operate in the opposite direction is also provided during the baking operation.

Abstract: This invention relates to a baking oven (1), in particular a baking cabinet which has a baking chamber (2) in which the goods to be baked can be placed, a unit (3) for heating a heating medium which has an inlet (4) to receive the heating medium from the baking chamber (2) and an outlet (5) for dispensing the heated heating medium into the baking chamber (2) and a first flow channel (6) for conveying the heating medium between the baking chamber (2) and the inlet (4) and a second flow channel (7) for conveying the heating medium between the outlet (5) and the baking chamber (2). To permit simple regulation of the flow of heating medium, it is provided according to this invention that a throttle element (8, 9) is installed in the area of at least one of the flow channels (6, 7) so that the flow resistance in the respective flow channel (6, 7) can be varied.
