Tunnel Oven Manufacturers

Reading Bakery Systems is a long-time manufacturer of the world’s most advanced commercial tunnel oven systems from Thomas L. Green and Reading Pretzel. Our range of equipment, expertise, pioneering research and development, and legendary customer support are unrivaled in the industry.

The oven and drying technologies from Reading Bakery Systems utilize the correct balance of convective, radiant and conductive heat transfer to produce the correct product.

Our Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN systems offer flexible and consistent baking of biscuit, cookie and cracker products, while our Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® systems offer the same flexibility for baking pretzels, bread snacks, crisps and potato snacks.

PRISM OVEN

Customers in the global biscuit, cookie and cracker industry have trusted the Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN for over a century. The single-pass baking platform is designed to improve product consistency.

In addition to traditional brick, customers may now opt for the exclusive Thermatec High Radiant Ceiling, a new technology that radiates heat as effectively as a traditional fire brick oven ceiling, but is less expensive and requires less maintenance.

Other PRISM OVEN features include:

  • Direct Gas Fired (DGF) Zone, Recirculation Zone, and Convection Zone
  • Improved baking efficiency
  • Promotes uniform quality, color, taste and texture
  • Repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity and type of heat transfer
  • Available with full non-corrosive stainless steel interior
  • Available with a full range of control options for optimum performance
  • Excellent access for cleaning
  • Pre-assembled for quick installation

SPECTRUM OVEN®

The Reading Pretzel SPECTRUM OVEN® offers the same flexibility as the PRISM OVEN for baking pretzels, bread snacks, crisps and potato snacks, with a number of different combinations of heat transfer zones.

The SPECTRUM OVEN® features:

  • Convection Zone, SMART (Radiant / Convection) Zone, and Convection Over Kiln Zone
  • Accommodates a wide range of products by adjusting the heat transfer profile
  • Repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity and type of heat transfer
  • Available with full non-corrosive stainless steel interior
  • Can be combined with a Kiln, or Dryer, zone to create a space efficient two-pass baking chamber*
  • Excellent access for cleaning
  • Pre-assembled for quick installation

*When combined with a Kiln, or Dryer, zone, the SPECTRUM OVEN® provides two heat transfer zones that are independently controlled and monitored. The zones allow the final moisture of the product to be removed in a manner best suited to the characteristics of the product and not the limitations of the available plant space.
