Direct Gas Fired Oven
This powerful oven is particularly suitable for baking those products which require short baking times and high heat input especially at the beginning of their baking cycle. These include crackers (cream and soda), snacks and also some fermented products.

| Indirect Radiating (Cyclotherm)
This type of oven transfers the heat to the dough piece mainly by radiation.
Its baking chamber consists of a set of tubes positioned above and below the conveyor, which transfer the heat to the dough pieces. A burner heats the hot air which is forced through the tubes by a suitable fan blower. The heat is transferred to the dough pieces mainly by radiation, and the fuel combustion products never come into contact with the dough pieces being baked.

| Direct Convection
In this type of oven the heat is transferred to the dough piece by means of hot air. The burner heats the air up to 220-250 °C, and this hot air is then conveyed to the baking chamber and blown onto the top and the bottom of the product. It is uniformly distributed throughout the width and the length of each section of the baking chamber by means of specially designed plenums. | | Indirect Convection
In this type of oven the heat is transferred to the dough piece by means of hot air.
This air is taken to high temperature by a burner, using a heat exchanger in order to avoid any contamination of the air that comes into contact with the product being baked. This hot air is then conveyed to the baking chamber and blown onto the top and the bottom of the product. The temperature that can normally be reached in the baking chamber is around 200°C. |
| Hybrid Ovens
It is a common experience to notice that the type and amount of heat required by a dough piece being baked varies throughout the baking process.
Different types of heat can in fact have different effects on the final product. Imaforni was one of the first in the sector to experiment and promote the baking process using mixed-heat ovens in the early 1980s.
