What Is an Infrared Tunnel Oven?
An infrared tunnel oven is a continuous baking system that uses infrared radiation to transfer heat directly to the product surface as it moves along a conveyor belt. Unlike conventional convection ovens that heat the surrounding air first, infrared technology focuses energy exactly where it’s needed, on the product itself.
This makes infrared tunnel ovens ideal for fast baking, surface control, and uniform results in modern industrial bakeries.
Products That Perform Best in an Infrared Tunnel Oven
Infrared tunnel ovens are particularly effective for:
Flatbreads and Wraps: Pita, lavash, naan-style flatbreads, tortillas, and wraps benefit from rapid surface heating and controlled puffing.
Crackers and Snack Products: Crisp products achieve even coloration without overdrying.
Par-Baked Goods: Infrared zones are ideal for finishing or pre-baking before freezing or packaging.
Delicate or Gluten-Free Doughs: Gentle radiant control helps prevent excessive moisture loss and surface damage.
All products are validated through engineering assessment and line trials to ensure performance before installation.
Key Features Of Infrared Tunnel Ovens
Every tunnel oven is built to withstand rigorous industrial environments while maintaining surgical precision.
1. Multi-Zone Temperature Control
Achieve complex "baking curves" with independent heating zones. Each zone is managed by a dedicated PLC system with HMI touchscreen interfaces, allowing for real-time adjustments and recipe storage.
2. Custom Conveyor Systems
From stainless steel mesh belts and chain conveyors to stone plates for specialized food applications, we integrate the transport system that best suits your product’s weight and heat profile.
3. Advanced Emitter Technology
Select from a range of high-durability emitters:
-
Quartz Tubes: For rapid response and high intensity.
-
Ceramic Emitters: For uniform, long-wave heat distribution.
-
Carbon IR Lamps: Ideal for surface-level drying and sensitive materials.
