THE RETURN OF THE 901

Small Footprint, Easy Access

Back by customer demand, the Blodgett 901 Baking and Roasting Deck oven returns. If you need a great all purpose roasting deck oven but don't have a lot of room in your kitchen, the 901 is for you. Built on a 30" x 51" platform, the 901 oven features a 12" high baking compartment door, great for large breads and other products.

Need a bigger oven? The versatile Blodgett 900 series gas ovens come in four basic sections, the 951, 961, 966 and 981. Each section has the same 40" x 60" footprint and can be stacked in any combination. From these four sections many different vertical ovens may be assembled. The possibilities are endless. Separate heat controls for each section permit cooking and baking at different temperatures, at the same time, in one oven! Blodgett's Basic Four design gives you the ultimate in versatility, efficiency, and economy.

NEW FULL SIZE CONVECTION OVEN CRATES

Instructions for fitting crates through 36" door.

All full size Blodgett convection ovens are now shipped in a common crate. Take a look at these instructions for information on fitting the crate through a standard 36" door.

  1. Tip the shipping crate onto a hand cart, left side down. See the photo to the left for proper orientation, note the location of the orange warning label.

  2. Cut off the top of the shipping container along the red line.

  3. Remove the four 6” x 20” wooden blocks from the bottom of the crate.

  4. By completing steps 1, 2 and 3 you reduced size of the shipping crate to 34-1/4” allowing it to fit through a 36” door opening.

STEAM INJECTION IN YOUR 900 SERIES OVEN

As an optional feature, all 900 Series ovens may be supplied with steam jets for baking hard rolls, and vienna, french or other hard crusted breads. This item is also available as a kit which may be installed in the field. To a baker, steam actually means an atmosphere of water vapor. Therefore, it is very important that the steam be low pressure (2-1/2 to 3 PSI), that condensate be taken from the steam line before it enters the oven, and that the steam be sufficiently saturated to give the vapor cloud effect required.

At least one quarter boiler horsepower for all large 900 Series compartments or two small 900 Series compartments is recommended. Several firms manufacture electric and gas fired steam generators ranging in size from 1/2 boiler horsepower upward. If the steam generator is mounted adjacent to the oven, line transmission losses will be insignificant. If the steam source is located a considerable distance from the oven, line transmission losses must be considered in determining the proper size of the steam generator.
