This video from R&M Machinery showcases our full rotary rack oven range — covering five fuel type options and seven capacity configurations from 12 trays to 64 trays. Whether you are setting up a new bakery, expanding production capacity or sourcing a commercial rack oven for an industrial food facility, this guide will help you identify the right model for your specific requirements.
5 Fuel Types: Gas, Electric, Diesel & Dual Fuel Rotary Rack Ovens
R&M manufactures rotary rack ovens in five fuel configurations to match local energy infrastructure and production requirements:
- Gas rotary rack oven — LPG or natural gas burner; fast heat recovery; lower running cost in regions with reliable gas supply; the most popular option for commercial bakeries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Available as gas rotary oven in 12, 16, 26, 32 and 64-tray capacities.
- Electric rotary rack oven — 220V / 380V, 50/60Hz; precise temperature control; clean operation with no combustion; suitable for bakeries with stable electricity and where gas supply is unavailable.
- Diesel rotary rack oven — diesel burner heating; ideal for off-grid bakeries and locations where gas supply is inconsistent; widely used in rural Africa and island markets. The bakery oven diesel type is R&M’s most requested solution for off-grid commercial baking.
- Gas & Electric dual fuel rotary oven — switchable between gas and electric operation; provides flexibility when fuel availability varies seasonally or regionally.
- Gas & Diesel dual fuel rotary rack oven — combines LPG/natural gas with diesel backup; recommended for areas with unreliable gas supply where production continuity is critical.
7 Capacity Options: From Small Bakery.html to Industrial Production Scale
R&M’s rotary rack oven range covers seven standard tray capacities, allowing bakeries to match equipment precisely to their production volume:
- 5-tray rotary oven — entry-level for startup bakeries and small retail operations
- 10-tray rotary rack oven — retail bakery and café scale production
- 12-tray rotary rack oven — 1 trolley; standard commercial bakery capacity
- 16-tray rotary rack oven — 1 trolley; medium commercial bakery and hotel kitchen scale
- 26-tray rotary rack oven — 1 trolley; high-volume commercial production for supermarket bakeries and chain operations
- 32-tray rotary rack oven — 1 trolley; industrial bakery scale; the most popular large-capacity option. The 32 tray rotary oven price offers strong value for high-output facilities.
- 64-tray rotary rack oven — 2 trolleys; maximum industrial capacity for wholesale bakery factories and large-scale food production plants. The 42 tray rotary oven price and 64-tray configurations are suitable for bakery chains with continuous production requirements.
3 Control Panel Options: Standard Digital, Microcomputer & Touchscreen
As shown in the video, R&M’s rotating rack oven range offers three controller levels to match operator skill requirements and production precision needs:
- Standard digital controller — temperature control, hot air switcher, timer, light and buzzer alert; simple operation for everyday commercial bakery use.
- Microcomputer controller — more precise temperature management with actual/set temperature display and memory function for storing multiple recipe programs.
- Touchscreen controller — full-featured interface with memory, steam control, rotation speed and timer functions; recommended for high-volume operations requiring repeatable precision.
Who Should Use a Rotary Rack Oven?
The rack oven bakery is the most efficient baking solution for operations producing large, consistent volumes of a single or limited product range. Typical applications include:
- Commercial bread bakeries producing 500+ loaves per shift
- Industrial wholesale bakeries supplying supermarkets, hotels and catering
- Pastry shops and café chains requiring consistent batch baking
- Supermarket in-store bakery departments
- Hotel and resort central kitchens
- Bakery.html equipment distributors, importers and OEM partners
For operations with diverse product schedules requiring different temperatures per batch, a commercial deck oven may be more suitable — or a combination of both types is common in established commercial bakeries.
