Electric convection oven Inoxtrend PPDA120E

A convection oven moves hot air continuously around the chamber with a powerful fan, spreading heat evenly across every tray. The PPDA 120E adds steam injection to this airflow, letting the operator choose dry heat, moist steam or a combination of both. This control over humidity keeps roasts crisp outside and juicy inside, while the even heat distribution cooks multiple dishes at once without hot spots.

The oven is loaded by sliding full-size gastronorm trays into longitudinal guides spaced 65 mm apart. A trolley supplied as standard holds the trays ready for transfer, so the operator can wheel in a full batch, set the mechanical controls for temperature, time and mode, and start the cycle. The fan automatically reverses direction to maintain consistent airflow, and the integrated humidity sensor adjusts steam output to the selected programme. When the timer ends, the trays are removed in the same order they were loaded, keeping service organised.

Construction is stainless steel throughout, chosen for resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning in a busy kitchen. The exterior dimensions of 970 mm wide, 1300 mm deep and 1880 mm high give a footprint that fits standard worktop layouts while accommodating twenty GN 1/1 trays inside. A 30 kW heating element draws power from a 400 V three-phase supply, the standard circuit for heavy-duty catering equipment. The temperature range spans from 30 °C for gentle proofing or holding up to 270 °C for high-heat roasting and baking.

Mechanical knobs on the front panel set the cooking mode, temperature and timer. Each knob corresponds to one function, allowing quick adjustment without digital menus. The steam injection system is controlled by the same panel, so the operator can switch between convection, steam and combi modes in a single step.

The 20-tray capacity allows large batches of the same dish or simultaneous cooking of different items, while the 65 mm tray spacing prevents overcrowding and ensures air can circulate freely. The trolley included as standard keeps trays at the correct height for loading and unloading, reducing strain on the operator. The 400 V three-phase connection matches the supply used by most professional kitchens, avoiding the need for special wiring. The 30 kW power rating indicates the load the oven places on the circuit, so the kitchen can plan its electrical distribution accordingly. The temperature range from 30 °C to 270 °C covers everything from low-temperature holding to high-heat searing, while the stainless steel construction withstands daily cleaning with commercial detergents.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel interior and exterior with a damp cloth and approved cleaner. The steam injection system has a self-draining feature to prevent mineral build-up, and the fan's automatic reverse cycle helps dislodge any food particles from the blades. Trays and trolleys are removed for separate washing, and the guides inside the chamber are accessible for brushing out crumbs or spills.

The PPDA 120E is part of the Inoxtrend PROEVO+ series, designed for intensive use in professional kitchens.
