A continuous oven (1) comprising an inlet and an outlet
station (2, 3) between which an endlessly circulating belt (4) serving as a
conveyor belt is arranged, wherein the upper run (5) of the circulating belt (4) serves to transport the
baked goods and is guided through a continuous baking tunnel (6), characterized in that the continuous oven (1) is wood-fired, wherein the endlessly circulating belt (4) serving as a
conveyor belt is designed as a stone slab belt, comprising several stone slabs (7) arranged side by side and fixed in a frame, wherein the stone slabs form the upper and lower runs (5, 8) of the stone slab belt (4), wherein the continuous oven (1) comprises at least one wood burner (9, 14) for generating bottom and top heat in the baking tunnel (6), the continuously generated hot air of which flows through several heating channels by means of at least one fan for the purpose of transferring
heating energy to the
conveyor belt (4).to be subsequently supplied to a
chimney (10) or partly to the
chimney (10) and partly via a duct
system to the at least one wood burner (9, 14, 18), wherein, in addition to regulating the
power output of the at least one wood burner (9, 14, 18) and supplying hot air to the at least one wood burner (9, 14, 18), a mixing valve (21) is provided in at least one heating duct for
temperature control, by means of which
fresh air can be mixed with the hot air generated by the at least one wood burner (9, 14, 18), wherein the mixing valve (21) can be controlled on the basis of the signals from
two temperature sensors, wherein one sensor is arranged upstream of the mixing valve (21) in the direction of hot air flow and another sensor is arranged downstream of the mixing valve (21).
