Linear convection oven for food processing
In food processing, achieving consistent cooking results while minimizing energy consumption and moisture loss is crucial. This is especially true when handling varying product sizes or specific items like whole chickens, burgers, and pretzels.
Achieve uniform heat transfer and browning
The Linear Convection Oven AGU from alco, offered by JBT, is designed for maximum efficiency in food processing. This oven features a dual-area system with two separately adjustable heating areas, allowing for simultaneous cooking and browning at different temperatures. The targeted airflow ensures optimal and uniform heat transfer. The oven can accommodate different product sizes side by side, providing consistent cooking results. With options for hot circulating air and/or steam, it is suitable for diverse applications. The integrated clean-in-place (CIP) system simplifies cleaning, and the belt wash system with rotating brushes and water spray lances continuously cleans the conveyor belt. Additional features include a dew point control for consistent climate conditions and lecithin soak to minimize product adhesion. Choose between electrical and thermal oil-powered heating elements for efficient heat transfer in up to two different climate zones.
