Application
CTX heavy-duty, energy-efficient
conveyor ovens are designed for direct
baking on the conveyor belt, thereby
producing a hearth bake product with
distinctive results, which are excellent for
pizza, pita breads and rolls.
General Information
Heavy-duty, electric, conveyor oven is
designed to be mounted on a modular
base up to four decks high. Oven
chamber is equipped with 18" wide, highcarbon steel, wire mesh hearth belt. The
oven is equipped with pre-programmed
self-cleaning cycle. Overall dimensions
are 92"W x 35
1
⁄2"D x 14"H. The oven
chamber is 50"W x 18"D x 5
1
⁄2"H.
Construction
The frame is constructed of 14-gauge
steel and reinforced structural steel
welded together. Walls and supporting
structure are built of 16-gauge aluminized
steel. The base assembly is constructed
of 10-gauge steel. The frame and base
assembly have a black enamel finish.
Infrared heat emitters are enclosed in high
strength thermal conductive steel plates
and are placed above and below the oven
chamber. The high temperature bearings
have excellent wear characteristics, and
are self-lubricating and self-aligning.
Insulation
The oven is fully insulated with 3" of
insulation.
Electrical
Ovens can be ordered for 208VAC or
230VAC electrical utilities. The total power
input on 208VAC is 18.0kW; 230VAC is
18.0kW. The average operating power
input is 8.4kW for 208VAC and 6.45kW
for 240VAC. Ovens are wired for 3-phase
electrical connection on 208 and 230VAC.
An electrical cord knock-out is provided at
the rear on the exit side of the oven along
with an access panel for making electrical
connections.
Heating
Heating is accomplished with six far
infrared emitters, three above and three
below the oven chamber.
Controls
A programmable microprocessor controls
the temperature from 200° to 950°F, and
the cook time from 1.2 to 240 minutes.
The oven can be controlled in three upper
and three lower zones. Thermal sensors,
located on the contactor and control panel
compartments, will give a warning if either
control gets too warm. The solid state
relays are specially designed for this
application and are high temperature
controls. The control areas have a fan
filter to keep the area around the motor
clean. There is also a standby mode for
energy conservation.
MenuSelect
®
The patented MenuSelect®feature allows
the operator to preset up to six different
time and temperature combinations into
the control that can be recalled by
pressing the appropriate preset key, then
the computer automatically adjusts time
(belt speed) and temperatures. A ready
message is displayed when the desired
temperatures are reached.
