Conveyer oven
An object of the present invention is to provide a conveyer oven having a high heat efficiency and excellent cooking performance. Foods F are carried into a heating chamber 10 by a conveyer 60 and conveyed to the upper portion of the heating chamber. While the foods F are conveyed at the upper portion of the heating chamber, an eject nozzle 45 blows hot air to the foods F and simultaneously foods F are surrounded with remaining hot air. When cooking is finished, the foods F are conveyed downward to be carried out from the heating chamber 10 . Therefore, heat from a heating means 20 is used effectively for cooking, that means heat efficiency is improved, which reduces fuel cost. Moreover, since the foods F are surrounded with remaining hot air, the foods F are evenly heated all over, whereby cooking performance is improved.
1. A conveyer oven comprising:
a heating chamber for heating foods having an entrance port and an exit port on lateral side walls thereof;
a conveyer for carrying the foods into the heating chamber through the entrance port and carrying out the same from the heating chamber through the exit port;
a heating means for heating the foods conveyed by the conveyer in the heating chamber; and
a plurality of suction holes associated with said heating means for recirculating hot air within the chamber,
wherein the foods are conveyed to the upper portion of the heating chamber after passing the entrance port, the heating means blows hot air on the food, and then the foods are conveyed downward to be carried out from the exit port.
2. A conveyer oven according to claim 1 , wherein the heating means applies radiant heat to the foods.
3. A conveyer oven according to claim 1 , wherein the conveyer conveys the foods upward with a height where the bottom surface of the foods is higher than the upper edge of the entrance port and the exit port.
4. A conveyer oven according to claim 1 , wherein the conveyer conveys the foods upward with a height where the bottom surface of the foods is higher than the upper edge of the entrance port and the exit port.
5. A conveyer oven according to claim 2 , wherein the conveyer conveys the foods upward with a height where the bottom surface of the foods is higher than the upper edge of the entrance port and the exit port.
6. A conveyer oven according to claim 1 , wherein said heating means comprises a plurality of ejecting nozzles located at least above the conveyor in the heating chamber.
