<p>A containment apparatus for a multi-pass oven consisting of guide rails and taperedguide chutes having side rails. A tapered guide chute directs product piecesfrom one conveyor to the center of a receiving region of an underlying conveyor.Guide rails are placed along the sides of the receiving region of an underlyingconveyor and maintain baking product pieces on the conveyor. Diverters on thedistal end of each guide rail further move product pieces toward the center ofthe conveyor. Such diverters help ensure that pieces reach a subsequent guidechute or subsequent conveyor without falling off of the conveyor. Such guiderails, diverters, and guide chutes help prevent damage to, and loss of, productpieces while pieces pass through the oven. Guide rails, diverters, and guidechutes are particularly effective at maintaining round or cylindrical pieceswithin a multi-pass oven.</p> |
