Gas convection oven FM industrial STB 18/86 V7 T GAS

This gas-powered bakery oven uses a premix burner to generate heat, which is then spread evenly by a fan operating at ten different speeds. The system ensures uniform temperature distribution, reducing bake times and delivering consistent results for bread, pastries, and confectionery in bulk quantities. The V7 touchscreen allows operators to choose from pre-loaded bakery recipes or set custom cycles tailored to specific needs. Once preheating is complete, dough is placed on GN-standard racks designed for either 600×400 mm or 800×600 mm trays. A turning reverser periodically changes the fan's direction to prevent uneven heating, while climate control manages humidity via a water connection. The multipoint probe, combined with Delta-T monitoring, tracks both core and surface temperatures to avoid over-browning. Fermentation mode provides controlled proofing at lower temperatures, and hold mode keeps finished products warm without further cooking. An alarm signals the end of each cycle, and an LED interior lamp allows for visual checks without opening the door.

Constructed from stainless steel, the oven features a double-glazed door with a microphone to detect seal breaches. A safety thermostat automatically cuts the gas supply if temperatures exceed safe limits. The premix burner adjusts gas flow precisely, optimising fuel efficiency while maintaining steady heat output. With a gas input of 56 kW and an electric draw of 1.32 kW, the unit requires a dedicated commercial power supply. Its 360 kg weight necessitates placement on a reinforced floor or plinth.

The V7 touchscreen controls fan speed, humidity levels, fermentation and hold temperatures, preheat duration, and regeneration cycles. A USB port enables recipe transfers between ovens or to a central management system. Self-cleaning mode heats the interior to high temperatures to burn off residues, simplifying maintenance.

The oven's dimensions—990 mm wide, 1430 mm deep, and 2010 mm high—allow it to fit standard bakery work surfaces and facilitate side-by-side installation. A 40 V control circuit, isolated from the mains, ensures safe operation. The oven accommodates GN trays in both 60×40 and 80×60 sizes, supporting a total capacity of eighteen 800×600 mm trays or thirty-six 600×400 mm trays.

Maintenance includes wiping the interior after each use and running the self-cleaning cycle weekly. The water connection should be drained regularly to prevent scale build-up, and the door seal inspected for wear.
