SEGMENTED CONVEYOR BELTS FOR FOODSERVICE CONVEYOR OVENS
The present disclosure provides a conveyor oven with a heating chamber, and a segmented conveyor belt that passes food products through the chamber for heating or cooking. The conveyor can comprise two or more removably connected sections. One of the sections can be sized so that it can be removed through a front of the heating chamber. The sections can be coupled together with a drive transfer device that transfers any motion from one section to another. The sections can also have motors associated therewith, so that motion of each section can be controlled independently of other sections.

TOUCHLESS TIMER AND PRODUCT MANAGEMENT FOR FOOD HOLDING DEVICES
The devices, methods, and algorithms of the present disclosure provide a hot food holding cabinet to detect the presence and uniquely identify a plurality of food holding trays within a plurality of food holding locations within a hot food holding cabinet. There can also be multiple, separate food holding cabinets that are linked together. Timing and other functions related to the storage of the food holding trays are initiated automatically, without any manual input from a user. This allows for the automated initiation and tracking of product quality parameters by the cabinet computer. The parameters can include product timers and holding profiles, and whether the food holding trays are removed, transferred between bins in a single cabinet, or transferred between separate cabinets.

A SYSTEM TO PREVENT INCORRECT FINGER PLACEMENT IN CONVEYOR OVENS
The duct assembly of the present disclosure includes one or more air impingement ducts and a plenum plate for receiving the impingement duct. Each impingement duct includes a housing, a columnating plate with one or more columnating orifices, and a cover plate with one or more cover orifices. The housing, columnating plate, and cover plate are arranged in stacked arrangement, and collectively define an interior space in the duct. Heated air is passed through the interior space and out through the orifices. At least one of the plenum plate, housing, columnating plate, and cover plate includes a mechanical feature that mates with a corresponding feature on another of the duct components, to ensure that only specific duct components can be assembled together. In one embodiment, the columnating plate includes a pin protruding with an end that mates with a corresponding notch on the cover plate. In another embodiment, the housing has an angled side or flange that mates with a corresponding angles flange on the plenum plate.
There is provided an oven having an oven door assembly connected to a housing. The housing surrounds an oven interior and has an opening into the oven interior. The door assembly has an oven access door that covers the opening in the housing in a closed position. The oven access door moves in a first direction from a closed position to an open position uncovering the opening into the oven interior. The oven has a depth in the closed position. The oven access door moves in the first direction from the closed position to the open position within substantially the same depth of the oven in the closed position.
A conveyor oven that preheats air for a combustion burner. A heat exchanger extracts heat from a heated surface of the oven to preheat the air. In one embodiment, the heated surface is a surface of a door and/or of a wall, particularly, a side wall that includes either an inlet or an outlet for the conveyor oven.
A conveyor oven is provided that includes a conveyor assembly having an inlet section, and inner section and an outlet section. The conveyor assembly facilitates ease of removal by an enduser by allowing a single person to perform removal in a confined space.

CONVEYOR OVEN AND METHOD FOR REMOVAL OF NON-SEARED PRODUCTS FROM A CONVEYOR BELT
A conveyor oven having a conveyor belt that extends through an oven chamber for carrying food products for cooking in the oven chamber. A scraping device is positioned near an exit end of the oven chamber to remove any of the food products that stick to the conveyor belt.
A conveyor oven and method with enhanced serviceability. The conveyor oven has a top portion that is pivotally affixed to a base portion so that the top portion can be titled rearwardly during servicing, thereby exposing the conveyor oven's components for service. Also, a hinged crumb tray assists in maintaining the integrity of the oven and avoiding fire, smoke or undesirable smells during operation of the oven.
A conveyor oven and method for cooking various food products using a plurality of different heating sources, thereby avoiding costly and lengthy changeover times between different food products. Infrared heating elements and quartz heating elements are independently controlled so that both can be on at the same time or one on and the other off at the same time.
A smoker device having a low profile fits beneath the lower most rack of an oven thereby allowing full use of all possible shelves of the oven. The smoker device comprises a uniquely shaped bi-level heater element that allows the smoker device pan to be cradled just above the bottom wall of the oven chamber. A method and system allow a processor control of the smoker device manually or automatically as a part of a programmed recipe.
