Multiple pass linear oven
A multiple pass linear oven for heating food products. The linear oven has multiple passes that run through the oven vertically in order to shorten the length of the linear oven, while still maintaining the amount of time the food product is spent inside the oven. The use of multiple levels of conveyor in one linear oven saves space and money. A second multiple pass linear oven has different stations performing different functions. Each station is set up along one conveyor. This allows the food product to remain on one conveyor while being treated three different ways.
