Our spiral oven serves for cooking and/or browning your products with steam, hot circulating air, or both. Its spiral belt guide allows plenty of room in our oven for products, which are cooked in a gentle way.

Cooking, heating, browning: The spiral oven from JBT ALCO slowly and gently runs products through the cooking process by means of a spiral conveyor belt that can be extended if required. That way, large quantities of your product will be cooked, and browned, or just steam cooked very evenly in the spiral oven with circulating air and/or steam. In special cases even roasting your product is feasible with the ASH PRO. Depending on your capacity and output, the single-stack spiral oven can be extended to a double-stack oven. That way you can cook in two completely separate climate zones. In addition, you can set the gap between the individual spiral levels exactly. That way, even larger products like whole chicken, burgers, or lasagna get their appetizing brownness and succulent consistency.

Perfectly suitable for meatloaf, whole chicken, burgers, nuggets, bacon, lasagna, pretzels
