Our wood-fired ovens for industry
industrial wood-fired ovens: the solution for intense, authentic production
Whether to supply a large number of vending machines, professional kitchens or supermarkets, Four Grand-Mère has developed very high-capacity ovens.
They have been designed to bake pizzas in industrial quantities with traditional quality. They are circular, toroidal ovens with a rotating floor, approximately 4m in diameter.
These ovens achieve hourly production rates of 400 to 1500 pizzas/hour using only wood-fired baking process, with fully automated loading and unloading. Operation is thus comparable to that of a wood-fired conveyor oven.
Wood is retained as the one and only direct-heating energy source, as it produces the most economical, high-quality and efficient cooking possible. During cooking, each pizza passes under the great flames released by the wood-burning fireplace, giving the pizzas the appellation “wood-fired baking”.
Fast radiation cooking
Thanks to their design and low vault, our ovens are significantly efficient and economical.
The usual baking time achieved by our customers varies between 30 s to 1 mn10, so it is twice till three times faster than the baking in another oven.
Baking is essentially carried out by the powerful radiation generated by the flame and the oven vault (from 370 to 400°C). The floor heats up in the same way.
Constant baking
All pizzas take up the same position in the oven, one after the other, and rotate on themselves in relation to the place of the fire place.
They therefore all receive the same amount of heat and radiation over their entire surface.
Flows are separated
Only the flame is present in the oven. The firebox is separated from the baking room to avoid the presence of embers and ashes in the cooking room. A separate door allows wood to be loaded outside the preparation and cooking area. Filling the firebox is made easy thanks to the possibility of loading large (up to 80 cm) logs.
The supply of wood is thus also separated from the tracking or way of any food products.
The loading door allows pizzas to be placed directly on the circular, adjustable-speed, thick refractory concrete floor.
Pizzas are unloaded through the unloading door after having passed about 5/6ths of the oven’s circumference, respecting the forward motion.
Materials and insulation designed to cope with high temperatures
Designed to withstand the highest temperatures, our refractories and insulating materials ensure temperature stability in the baking room and excellent oven insulation, preserving comfort even in the vicinity zone of the oven.
Adapting to the specifications provided
Automated loading and unloading (air cushion loading and mechanical peel unloading) are optional solutions, depending on specified needs.
Our standard models are semi-specific, but our specialists in the design department will find the right solution for all your special requirements.
