Oven Description and Components
Cooking in a conveyor oven differs from cooking
in a conventional deck or range oven since heated
air is constantly recirculated over the product by
a fan in an enclosed chamber. The jets of moving
air continually strip away the layer of cool air sur-
rounding the product, quickly allowing the heat to
penetrate. The result is a high quality product,
cooked at a lower temperature in a shorter amount
of time.
This Blodgett conveyo r oven represents the latest
advancement in energy efficiency, reliabi li ty, and
ease of operation. Heat normally lost, is recirculated
within the cooking chamber resulting in substantial
reductions in energy consumption, a coo l er kitchen
enviro nment and enhanced oven performance.

OVEN COMPONENTS
Conveyor Belt --- stainless steel chain link (con-
veyor) belt that carries product through the oven.
Conveyor Belt Master Links --- a llow e a sy r e mo v -
al of the conveyor belt for more thorough mainte-
nance a nd cleaning. Identified by locating double
spaces between regular links on the belt.
Conveyor Rack Assembly (drive & idle sides) ---
located on both ends of the oven deck. The drive
side has a drive shaft and sprocket which slide into
the electrical box. The conveyor can be removed
as one piece without removing the belt.
Optional Folding Conveyor Rack Assembly ---
conveyor belt and rack a ssembly that carries
product through the oven. This rack folds for ease
of removal in small spaces. The conveyor can be
removed a s one piece without removing the belt.
Conveyor Belt Tensioners --- maintain tension on
theconveyorbelt.
Electrical Box --- contains electrical components,
wiring, cooling fans, drive motor, drive chain, and
combustion blower/burner a ssembly (gas ovens
only) or electric elements (electric ovens only).
Drive Motor --- provides power t o move the con-
veyor belt. The operator and control system deter-
mine the speed. Belt travel direction (left to right or
right to left) is factory set and is easily changed.
Drive Chain --- connects the drive motor sprocket
to the conveyor drive shaft sprocket.
Baking Chamber --- products pass through the
baking chamber on the belt.
Nozzles --- distribute heated air from the bottom
of the baking chamber. Located inside the oven,
undertheconveyorbelt.
Nozzle Support Bracket --- removable bar that lo-
cates the front end of the nozzles. Located just in-
side the oven’s front door beneath the nozzles.
Air Flow Plate --- distributes heated air from the
top of the baking chamber.
Conveyor Support Angle Bars --- p ro vi d e s u p -
portforconveyorrackassembly.
Crumb Pans --- catch crumbs from products on
the conveyor. Located under conveyor belt at both
ends of the baking chamber.
Operator Controls --- used to control oven tem-
perature, belt speed and other functions.
Ignition Control Reset Button (gas ovens only) ---
resets igniti o n control/gas burner after a lockout. Lo-
cated o n the l o wer panel of the contro l box.
Emergency Stop Button --- FO R EMERGENCY
USE ONLY (damage may occur)! Press the red palm
switch located next to the operator control to shut
down the oven and stop the convey or.
Front Access Door --- opens for access to cook-
ing chamber allowing for easier cleaning.
