Tunnel Ovens

Our Tunnel, Tray and Specialty Oven designs fit perfectly in variety operations and specialized product environments. We have a number of basic designs, and each design has a multitude of options and configurations.

Whether you are baking a variety of similar or varied products or a single product that requires a very specialized environment, it is very likely that one of our designs will provide exactly the baking performance that you need.

Traveling Tray Oven
Direct Gas Fired

The Direct Gas Fired Traveling Tray Oven is designed for baking a variety of products in pans, as well as products baked directly on transit trays.

Pre-assembled and insulated ceiling and wall panels along with modular design allow for easy installation and future expansion. Individually controlled burners allow for operation of all or a few burners depending on specific product needs.

Top and bottom air turbulence on bottom tray path provides a uniform bake with strong product sidewalls.

Solid state digital controller with metal baffles between tray paths tp assure distinct zone heating.

Automatic oven loaders with continuous tray movement and level plane transfer, designed to minimize jams.

Indirect Gas Fired
Indirect Gas/Oil Fired (Mesh, Plate, or Grid Hearth)

The Indirect Gas, Propane, or Oil Fired Tunnel Oven design bakes a variety of products in pans, or directly on the hearth.

Automatic natural gas or oil burners fire into the combustion chamber which is completely lined with high quality, high temperature Inconel and 310 stainless steel.

The heat exchanger system keeps combustion by-products outside the baking chamber. Products bake in clean, heated ambient air.

The mesh hearth allows complete air circulation and uniform pattern on bottom of products.

Pre-assembled and insulated exterior panels and modular design concepts allow faster and easier installation. Electric heating elements or propane gas burners are also available.

Direct Fired Tunnel Oven
Direct Gas Fired (Mesh, Plate, or Grid Hearth)

The Henry Group's Direct Gas Fired Tunnel Ovens are designed for baking a vast variety of products in pans or directly on the hearth.

Air turbulence provides a uniform bake with strong product side walls and shorter bake time.

The baking chamber is formed of steel lining sheets with expansion joints for internal expansion without movement of the oven as it is heated. Multiple thermocouple sensors determine bake chamber temperature and provide zoned temperature control for complete flexibility.

Individually controlled burners are located above and below the hearth for even heat distribution.

The mesh hearth allows for air circulation and uniform pattern on the bottom of products.

Hearth plates are designed to form an interlocking, self-supporting level baking surface.

High Temperature Pita Oven
Direct Gas Fired (Mesh, Plate, or Grid Hearth)

The Henry Group's Direct Gas, Propane, or Oil Fired Fired High Temperature Pita Bread Ovens are designed for baking Greek or Syrian pita bread and/or pizza crust baked directly on the hearth.

The hearth is composed of Hi-Carbon (Stainless option also available) balanced weave steel wire mesh belt or hearth plates which form an interlocking, self-supporting level baking surface.

Efficient baking with greater moisture retention:
Achieved through infrared heat produced from ceramic grids.

Thermocouple sensors detect upper and lower bake chamber temperatures and provide automatic operation of upper and lower firing rate control motors achieving close adherence to target temperatures.

Walls and ceiling of the bake chambers are lined with materials that retain and maintain heat. The units are designed for continuous operation at 900-1100° F.

Densely packed mineral wool insulation is contained in the roof and side walls.

Meter Wide Tunnel Ovens
Direct Gas Fired (Mesh, Plate, or Grid Hearth)

The Henry Group's Direct Gas Fired Meter Wide Ovens are designed for an inline baking process like pizza crust baked directly on the hearth.

The hearth is composed of Hi-Carbon Steel. (Stainless option also available), and a balanced weave steel wire mesh belt or hearth plates form an interlocking, self-supporting, level baking surface.
