to maintain a constant temperature.

The temperature controller contains a high-limit (safety) switch that shuts down the oven when the oven reaches 343°C (650° F) and a low-limit switch which allows the oven to cool down to 82° C (180° F) before shutting off the blowers.

E. Conveyor Switch

The on/off ("I"/"0") switch for the conveyor drive motor is on the control panel of the controlling oven section. Also on this control panel is the conveyor speed control and indicator (Figures 3-3A and 3-3B).

MEASURING CONVEYOR SPEED.

To measure the conveyor speed, place an item at the product entrance end of the oven bake chamber, as shown in Figure 3-4. Time how long it takes for the leading edge of the item to go from the entrance end of the bake chamber to its exit end (Figure 3-5). This is your conveyor speed or bake time.
