The invention relates to a method of heating food stuffs, especially discrete articles such as potatoes, meat and bread in a heat-insulated housing, employing heated gases circulated through the housing at high velocity. The invention is further concerned with means or apparatus for carrying out the method in which a heat-insulated housing is provided with a sheet metal container mounted in it and open at least below and above, the container being laterally spaced from the walls of the housing and furthermore a blower being mounted in the intermediate space between the roof of the housing and the upper opening in the sheet metal container, heating elements being mounted in the intermediate space between the lateral walls of the housing and of the container and a temperature controller being provided to maintain the pre-set treatment temperature.
Apparatus for heat-treating foodstuffs, comprising a heat-insulated housing with a door and a sheet metal container mounted in and open below and above and at the side which faces the door, the container being spaced from the walls of the housing at least above and on both sides, further comprising a blower arranged in the space between the roof of the housing and the upper opening in the container and heating elements in the space between the side walls of the housing and the container and a temperature controller for maintaining the pre-set treatment temperature characterised in that, at least one gas-permeable drum is mounted in the container for rotation about a horizontal axis to receive the goods to be treated, the drum being connected to driving means.
Apparatus for heat-treating foodstuffs, comprising a heat-insulated housing with a door and a sheet metal container mounted in it and open below and above and at that side which faces the door, the container being spaced away from the walls of the housing on all sides, further comprising a blower aranged in the space between the roof of the housing and the upper opening in the container, and heating elements in the space between the side wall of the housing and the container and a temperature controller for maintaining the pre-set treatment temperature, characterised by upwardly divergent wire frames to receive individual birds with their heads downwards.
Equipment for heat-treating foodstuffs characterised in that a conventional food chopper is followed by a hot water bath with a circulating pump, at the outlet end of which is arranged a bucket elevator at the discharge end of which there is provided a funnel connected through a paddle wheel gas lock to the roasting apparatus which has a cylindrical wire drum inclined towards its outlet end and enclosed over a region of about 270.degree. C by a covering which is spaced away from the enclosing wall of the housing and is provided on both sides with heating bodies and over the opening on the upper side of which there is arranged a fan which is driven by a motor and forces the air heated by the heating elements vertically through the roating drum driven by a motor.
