ABSTRACT:
A cooking and assembly unit is primarily for use in the quantity production of sandwiches, such as hamburger sandwiches including a patty, a bun crown and a bun heel. The unit includes a storage compartment for a number of individual trays each carrying one or more bun heels or bun crowns. The storage compartment is related to a bun grill including a conveyor for trays carrying heels and another conveyor for trays carrying crowns. Both conveyors advance in a predetermined direction and deliver the heel trays and the crown trays to a downstream, exit end of the bun grill. From there the loaded trays are received on an entrance table at the upstream end of a product conditioning tunnel mounted on a straddle frame. The conditioning tunnel is heated and is supplied with steam to hold its contents in a selected atmosphere. A freezer compartment having an access opening to patties stored therein is disposed beneath the straddle frame and adjacent the entrance to the conditioning tunnel. Above the entrance to the product conditioning tunnel is a patty broiler having both its inlet and its exit on the upstream side of the patty broiler. Patties from the freezer compartment go through the broiler and are discharged to be assembled between a heel and a crown taken from the table at the entrance end of the product conditioning tunnel into which the so-assembled sandwiches are introduced. At the exit end of the product conditioning tunnel, a product makeup table is preferably disposed.
