  • Process for treating food products with steam
    Patent number: 5407692
    Abstract: An oven with a box-like housing for efficient use of plant floor space encases a spiral food product carrying conveyor. A process vapor is circulated within the housing by "plug fans" with the inlet drawing vapor from the central axial zone of the spiral conveyor and exhausting into plenums along the periphery of the conveyor. The plenums have nozzles oriented tangentially to the conveyor for projecting the process vapor in a non-radial path over the food products.
