Abstract:

A conveyor oven module has a very low profile so that more oven modules may be stacked to give a greater baking capacity in the same "foot print" without the top conveyor being higher than the five and a half feet from the floor, which is the generally accepted maximum height for people to reach. Almost all serviceable parts are in the front of the oven. The oven modules are self-contained so that an oven module may be serviced while the remainder of the oven modules in the stack continue to operate.
