  • Patent number: 4884552
    Abstract: An apparatus (1) for baking food products includes an elongated tunnel (3) defining an oven (5). A conveyor (13) conveys food through the tunnel. Gas supplied to the tunnel is combusted by burners (43, 45) and the heat generated by the combustion is imparted to an upper hearth (17) and a lower hearth (19) by heat exchangers. The hearths radiate the heat into the oven to bake food product being conveyed therethrough and upper and lower sets of temperature sensors (93, 95) are provided to control the oven heat.
