ABSTRACT:
An oven with slide-out transfer guides is provided for use in conjunction with multiple conveyor ovens to provide quick and convenient accessibility to an oven's interior in case of product transfer difficulties. A slidable rail assembly is mounted in the oven, which also has an access port for transfer guide egress and ingress, and a transfer guide with opposed lips forming a slot which mounts the transfer guide on the rail assembly. When access to the oven's interior is necessary to remedy a product transfer problem, the oven of the present invention allows the transfer guide to slide along the rail while still supported by same, and said transfer guide can be partially removed from said oven without the need to turn off the oven. In this way, obstructions can be cleared quickly without significant down time, thereby saving the user both time and expense. The transfer guide may be implemented in a smaller, conventional oven by supporting a middle bearing block vertically to provide clearance for sliding the guide and, if desired, by locating the manifold and drive mechanisms together on an opposite side of the oven.
