Single Pass Convection Zone

Flexible & consistent baking of pretzels and snacks

In the Single Pass Convection zone, combustion and make-up air is heated in the penthouse above the baking chamber and circulated into the baking chamber. The air is distributed to the product above and below the conveyor through plenums that provide consistent air flow across the product. Control of the exhaust, air temperature, and circulation velocity allow the operator to control the product moisture removal rate for maximum quality assurance.
