Its solid cement structure, masonry firebox, and refractory brick flues provide the thermal inertia expected of a traditional ring-tube oven. Heat circulates through annular steam tubes (Ø 35 mm) with a double transverse tube (Ø 27 mm), ensuring consistent, stable baking for large batches, ideal for professional breadmaking. Key Advantages: 21.25 m² of baking surface on 3 levels, for bakeries with high production needs. Four 62 cm loading openings, convenient for organizing baking areas and facilitating work at the front. Chambers measuring 248 x 285 cm, offering ample width and depth for large batches. Masonry construction with brick hearth and flue. Refractory materials.

Independent steam generators positioned under the chambers, with steam vents.Operates with an oil or gas burner, and a front combustion chamber for solid fuels, biofuel, or pellets.
