Blodgett (Middleby) Zephaire Series Convection Ovens - ZEPH-100-E ADDL

• A compact commercial convection oven package (XR8-G with stand) designed for bakeries, cafés, and retail food operations needing consistent high-volume baking in a small footprint.
• The XR8-G rotating rack system ensures a true “no-turn bake,” giving even color and rise across all trays through continuous rotation and controlled airflow.
• Holds 8 full-size 18” × 26” sheet pans, making it highly efficient for batch baking in space-limited kitchens.
• Powered by a high-output gas system (~110,000 BTU) for fast heat-up and strong recovery during continuous production cycles.
• Includes built-in steam system + programmable digital controls, allowing precise control for artisan breads, pastries, and crust development.
• Features blower delay and cool-down modes, helping protect delicate products at the start and end of baking cycles.
• The included stainless steel stand with pan slides and casters improves workflow efficiency and mobility in busy production environments.
• Built with a heavy-duty stainless steel interior/exterior and industrial frame, designed for long-term durability and continuous use.
• Widely used in retail bakeries, supermarket in-store bakeries, and test kitchens where consistent baking quality and visibility are critical.
