Impingement oven

Last updated:

Abstract:

An impingement oven (40) includes an upper housing structure (46) forming the exterior of the upper half of the impingement oven and a lower housing structure (48) to mate with the upper housing structure. An interior impingement housing (62) is positioned interior to the upper and lower housing structures (46) and (48). A conveyor (60) extends through the interior impingement housing (62). The inside surfaces of the upper and lower housing structures (46) and (48) cooperate with the interior impingement housing (62) to define upright supply chambers (80a) and (80b) on opposite sides of the impingement oven to direct cooking medium downwardly upon the work products being carried by the conveyor and also upwardly through the porous belt of the conveyor, thereby to thermally process the work products being carried on the conveyor.
