NEW Hydrovection

The NEW Hydrovection oven from Blodgett unites hot air with moisture to produce a quality product faster than convection ovens. Move your product from the kitchen to the table quickly with the Hydrovection from Blodgett. A four speed bi-directional motor and innovative blower wheel design combine to form a unique air control system for a high quality, no-turn bake, with increased product yields that generate savings for you. The unique energy management system precisely controls the cooking environment reducing energy consumption by 40% over electric convection ovens. Built with rugged Blodgett construction, the Hydrovection will last for years to come. We will be showing the Hydrovection in both full and half size electric models.
