Fish Oven’s Mechanical Revolving Tray baking oven delivers even, consistent baking courtesy of revolving trays that move through all of its heat zones, averaging bake temperatures. A large baking cavity and a small door opening ensure that heat remains in the oven, while solid hearth shelves and other interior structures help retain heat for the next loading cycle. Rock wool insulation also helps keep heat in the oven and permits onsite oven assembly without contaminating a facility with airborne dust from powdered insulation. The Mechanical Revolving Tray baking oven is engineered to fit through standard door openings and comes in sizes ranging from 4- to 80-bun pans.
