Product Introduction

The Large Tunnel Oven (Continuous Tunnel Oven) is a continuous automated baking equipment. It is named after its long, narrow rectangular tunnel-shaped furnace structure. Essentially, it is “a linear intelligent production line”. Products enter from one end and are transported at a constant speed through a precisely temperature-controlled heating chamber by the conveyor system. When they exit from the other end, the baking, drying, or curing process is completed.
