Impingement oven for meat and baked products
Achieve faster cooking and greater uniformity with advanced airflow technology, essential for maintaining flavor and moisture in meat and baked goods.

Cooks and Equalizes Airflow for Uniform Results
The AirForce® Impingement Oven by Heat and Control is designed to revolutionize the cooking phase in your processing line. Ideal for meat, poultry, seafood, prepared foods, and baked goods, this oven employs advanced impingement technology to deliver rapid and consistent cooking. Using optimized airflow equalization, it ensures uniform heat distribution, cooking each product—such as chicken nuggets, shrimp tempura, and plant-based burgers—consistently across the entire batch. Capable of continuous high-speed operations, it enhances throughput and maximizes yield. This oven integrates seamlessly into existing processes, with options for thermal fluid or gas-fired heating systems, and includes a computer-controlled clean-in-place system to reduce downtime and maintain hygiene standards. Available in durable stainless steel, it aligns with food industry compliance standards, offering enhanced corrosion resistance and reliability.
