Abstract
A bakery oven system is disclosed which includes a bakery oven through which an endless conveyor may pass that carries bakery products to be treated in the oven. The conveyor includes a conveyor section located out of the oven and adapted to pass through a grid burn-off unit which serves to clean the grid on the conveyor. The grid burn-off unit includes a separate enclosure having a burner arrangement for applying heat to the conveyor to burn off residue on the conveyor. A plurality of brushes are located downstream of the burn-off enclosure, in the direction of travel of the conveyor, to clean carburized material off of the conveyor.
