Dynamic Modulation and Binarization of Heating Profile and Conveyance System within an Oven for Heating Based on Energy Availability

An oven system to heat a moving item, the oven system comprising:

• a conveyor capable of moving at more than one speed along a path of movement;
• a heat source positioned along the path of movement;
• a baseline heating profile for heating the moving item at a constant velocity;
• a sensor to detect energy available for the heat source at a particular moment or over a period of time;
• and
• a system to dynamically modify, based on the energy available, the baseline heating profile into a modified heating profile comprising a variable conveyance speed,
• wherein, when the moving item exits the oven system, the energy supplied by the heat source to the moving item equals the energy to be supplied per the baseline heating profile, and
• wherein the baseline heating profile is modified based on a second sensor monitoring the moving item within the oven system.

A process for using a conveyor oven comprising:

• placing an item on a conveyance system;
• selecting a length and a baseline cooking profile conveyor for the item;
• adjusting a baseline heating profile before or heating through the conveyor oven based on an existing or future item to be heated through the conveyor oven;
• and
• synchronizing a conveyance speed accordingly so as to impart a correct energy to the item when the item exits the conveyor oven,
• wherein the baseline heating profile relates to a length of the moving item.
