Hot Rocks debuts stone-conveyor oven focused on maintenance, ease of use.
January 22, 2021
Hot Rocks, a spin-off of Picard Ovens and dedicated to the pizza industry, has created the GEN3 — a stone-conveyor oven focused on two key elements — maintenance and ease of use.
The oven has crumb trays that slip in and out for speedy cleaning, and lubrication of the conveyor chains is simplified with direct access to the chain without any dismantling involved, Vincent Tourigny, Hot Rocks co-CEO, said in a company press release.
It also has maintenance reminders; a pop-up message will appear on the oven's control panel screen when maintenance is due. Other enhancements intended to elevate the user's experience include:
- Relocated emergency stop buttons for fast and convenient access.
- Reverse buttons to reverse the conveyor.
- A larger side door.
- Improved insulation for a cooler touch.
- A sight opening at the entrance and exit for a better view of the pizza in the oven.
Control panel features include favorite baking settings, assistance with lubrication and automated preheat, cooldown and stone-
drying modes.
"Your first encounter with the Hot Rocks will leave you intrigued," Tourigny said. "Your first trial will leave you impressed. Your first purchase will leave you convinced. And when your customers give glowing reviews, you will feel empowered."
