FMR150 Volcan Base High-Volume Wood-Fired Rotary Oven
General Overview
The FMR150 Volcan Base Morello Forni is a wood-fired rotary oven with a gas-heated hearth, designed for pizzerias and restaurants/hotels/cafés that handle high volumes. With a capacity of 10 pizzas (30 cm diameter) per batch and an indicative production of 160 pizzas/hour, it is ideal for professionals who need to maintain a high production rate while ensuring consistent wood-fired baking.
This Volcan Base version offers a stronger visual presence than the Standard and Dome models. It is particularly well-suited to open kitchens, high-traffic Italian restaurants, or pizza concepts where the oven becomes a prominent feature of the establishment.
The motorized rotating hearth, adjustable in speed and direction, helps maintain even cooking, even during the busiest service periods.
Why this model stands out
The FMR150 Volcan Base stands out thanks to its dual positioning: a very high production capacity and a taller profile, designed to add character to the cooking area. The primary wood-fired operation is complemented by an auxiliary gas heater under the hearth, with thermostatic control, to stabilize the cooking base during back-to-back orders.
The large refractory mass, the oven insulation, and the recirculation of heat into the dome all contribute to limiting heat loss. The Inteltouch System touchscreen, 3 customizable cooking programs, external ash collection drawer, and patented self-cleaning system around the rotating deck facilitate the daily operation of an oven of this size.
