LF-422 Ring Tube Oven 12m² on 4 levels
General Presentation
The Logiudice Forni LF-422 is a ring tube steam oven from the PRIME range, designed for bakeries that want a high baking capacity in a 2-door front. With its 4 decks, 2 doors 62 cm wide, and 12.00 m² baking surface, this model allows for increased production volume while maintaining an external width of 180 cm, ideal when frontage space needs to be kept to a minimum.
Why this model stands out
The LF-422 leverages chamber depth to offer more surface area without widening the oven. Its 124 x 241 cm chambers allow for processing more products on each deck, with the stability of a traditional ring-tube oven. The massive cement structure, the masonry hearth, the refractory brick flues, and the 35mm diameter annular steam tubes with a double 27mm diameter transverse tube all contribute to even baking, ideal for bread batches that require thermal inertia and well-distributed heat.
Key Advantages
- 12.00 m² of baking surface spread over 4 levels, to support sustained production.
- Exterior width of 180 cm, practical for increasing capacity without requiring a wider facade.
- Deep chambers of 124 x 241 cm, suitable for larger batches.
- Masonry structure with refractory cement floors and metal reinforcement.
- Independent steam generators under the chambers, with steam vents.
- Operates with an oil or gas burner, and a front combustion chamber for solid fuels, biofuel, or pellets.

Uses and applications
The LF-422 is suitable for bakeries that want a ring tube bakery oven with a large cooking surface, but without widening the work front. Its 4-tier configuration allows baking to be distributed across multiple levels, which can help organize production by bread type, order of production, or baking requirements. Independent steam and refractory hearths support the bread's development, while the thermal mass promotes consistent baking over time.
Good to know before choosing
The main point to consider with the LF-422 is the available depth in the bakery. With external dimensions of 180 x 383 cm, it requires careful planning, particularly regarding access, smoke extraction, energy selection, and loading space. This model can be relevant when a professional wants to achieve 12.00 m² of cooking space while maintaining a 2-door front.
Conclusion
The LF-422 is a 12.00 m² ring-tube steam oven designed for bakeries seeking high capacity in a compact width. Its masonry construction, deep chambers, independent steam system, and energy versatility make it a suitable solution for bakeries that want to produce bread regularly with even baking and a clear layout across four levels.
