The Spiral Oven ASH: Roasting efficiently and gently
Our spiral oven serves for cooking and/or browning your products with steam, hot circulating air, or both. Its spiral belt guide allows plenty of room in our oven for products, which are cooked in a gentle way.
Function
Cooking, heating, browning: The spiral oven from JBT ALCO slowly and gently runs products through the cooking process by means of a spiral conveyor belt that can be extended if required. That way, large quantities of your product will be cooked, roasted, browned, or just steam-cooked very evenly in the spiral oven with circulating air and/or steam. Two successively activated spirals allow for cooking over different climate zones with a higher amount of output. In addition, you can set the gap between the individual spiral levels exactly. That way, even larger products like whole chicken, burgers, or lasagna get their appetizing brownness and succulent consistency.
Features
Our spiral oven heats, cooks, and browns products through circulating air and/or steam. Adjust the spiral belt guide individually to product quantity and size.
