reel oven

A reel oven is a type of oven used in baking, particularly in commercial settings. It features a revolving wheel with suspended trays that hold food, such as meat or bread, as it bakes. The oven is designed so that the contents complete baking in one full revolution of the wheel. It is automatically controlled to stop when a tray is level with the loading door, making it convenient for loading and unloading. While band ovens are more common for large-scale production, reel ovens are still utilized, especially in smaller bakeries that handle frequent short production runs.12
