  • Patent number: 6539934
    Abstract: The multiconveyor convection oven comprises a baking chamber, at least two spaced-apart conveyors mounted transversally one over the other in the baking chamber, a heating chamber behind the baking chamber. A convection system is provided for allowing a circulation of the air from the baking chamber to the heating chamber and back to the baking chamber to cook the food. The convection system comprises air return passages providing a fluid communication between the baking chamber and the heating chamber, a blower housing extending vertically outside the heating chamber on a side thereof, at least two centrifugal blower chambers, one for each conveyor, mounted one over the other within the blower housing. Each centrifugal blower chamber has an air inlet in fluid communication with the heating chamber for drawing air from the baking chamber and an air outlet for throwing back heated air at high pressure.

  • Patent number: 6192877
    Abstract: A blown air distributor for use in a convection oven having a blower that draws air from the baking chamber, a heat source to heat the drawn air and a plenum downstream from the blower to recirculate the heated air in the baking chamber. The blown air distributor has a plurality of finger ducts mounted in parallel on a single plate, which is removable from the baking chamber. Each finger duct has an air inlet to receive the heated air from the plenum and a plurality of air outlets to dispense the heated air in the baking chamber. The single plate has opposite side edges each slidably receivable in a guide way provided on a corresponding sidewall of the chamber. The single plate also has a plurality of air inlets that receive the air from the baking chamber and drawn by the blower. The blown air distributor is easily and rapidly installable without incorrectly placing each finger duct in the baking chamber. The blown air distributor is also easily dismantled for cleaning.

  • Patent number: 5671660
    Abstract: A heated air-circulating oven is disclosed, having a baking chamber in open communication with one or more suction chambers. One or more blowers draw air from the baking chamber through the suction chambers. The drawn air then passes through a blowing chamber and through a plurality of blown air distributors in open communication with the baking chamber so as to reinject the air drawn and blown by the blowers back into the baking chamber. The oven also has a heater external to the baking chamber so as to heat the air drawn by the blowers.
