BAKE TIME VERSUS TEMPERATURE
1. Bake time is actually conveyor speed and is defined as the time the product is actually in the oven.
This is measured by noting the time when the leading edge of the product enters the oven and
the time the leading edge of the product leaves the oven. This is adjusted by using the conveyor
speed controller.
2. Bake temperature is adjusted by changing the setpoint of the temperature controller to the
desired bake temperature. When the oven reaches the desired temperature, the red dot in the
lower right corner of the temperature display will turn off and on as the controller maintains the
temperature.
3. When establishing a bake time and temperature for a given product, the general rule shall be as
the bake time increases the bake temperature decreases and the reverse is also true; increase
temperature, decrease time. However, there are limits to the above rule. Going to extremes
will result in a burnt exterior and raw interior or it will result in a very light color but over-baked
product.
4. Once a good bake has been established, the fine adjustments should be made by holding either
the bake time or bake temperature constant, then varying the other.
CONVEYOR SPEED
Bake Time (Conveyor Speed) - As stated previously, bake time (conveyor speed) is defined as the
amount of time elapsed between the time the leading edge of the product enters the oven and the
leading edge of the product exits the oven. Bake time is controlled by adjusting the digital speed
controller. The setting on the control panel indicates the actual bake time.
Bake time will be the same for any size product.
TIME OF DELIVERY
The time of delivery is the amount of elapsed time between the period when the leading edge of the
product enters the oven and the trailing edge of the product is fully discharged and is ready to be
delivered to the customer.
Time of delivery changes if the product size changes.
40 (DELIVERY)
32 (DELIVERY)
24 (BAKE)
6:00 (BAKE)
8:00 (DELIVERY)
BAKE vs. DELIVERY TIME
Time to Delivery changes with product
but Bake Time remains constant
at a steady conveyor speed.
10:00 (DELIVERY)
10
Tip: Train yourself not
to pull the product out
of the oven when the
leading edge comes
out. Always wait until
the entire product has
passed under the air
nozzle holes - the
product needs this time
to fully bake.
