The rotary hearth oven is another type of batch oven used by the bakery industry. It is a type of peel oven, which is a brick-lined hearth using a long wooden paddle known as peel. Like other peel ovens, a rotary hearth oven has a solid-bottom-heat and properly proportioned top radiation heat from the low ceiling that was rarely more than a foot above the hearth. It generally requires a large work area and has a lack of flexibility and frequently occurring hot spots.
