Conveyor Toasters

When you need to prepare breakfast in bulk, including an abundance of toast, sometimes a regular toaster just can’t cut it.In the same way that conveyor pizza ovens can streamline the cooking process while still giving incredible results, conveyor toasters achieve the same goal.In contrast with four or six-slice toasters, conveyor toasters can produce far higher volumes on a continuous basis, with either staff or customer control.Rather than needing to put slices of bread in, press the lever and wait for it to pop, these large-scale toasters can give you a constant stream without the need for as much manual intervention.Customers can put bread in themselves without needing to adjust the time or heat settings, reducing the chances of bread getting burned and giving perfectly even, crisp results every time.

When you’re preparing food, getting toast or waffles cooked is likely the least of your concerns.Between frying up eggs or sausages on the griddle and running the coffee machine, there are bigger jobs than getting your toast or waffles crisp and ready to go.They take the hassle out of one of the basic jobs, while also ensuring you get evenly crisp toast, without having to keep topping the toaster up with more bread.

One of the key design features of conveyor toasters is that they have evenly distributed heating elements inside, on both sides of the conveyor belt.This ensures that whatever you’re toasting gets consistent and widespread exposure to those elements.This means you’ll get even, crisp results without one side ending up more toasted than the other.They also move through at a controlled rate, making it easy to get the ideal results for everything from lightweight white bread through to more dense options like rye, wholegrain, or waffles.

When you have a large restaurant with fast turnover, you need to be able to get through high volumes of bread first thing for the breakfast rush and to streamline the kitchen tasks, conveyor toasters help across the board.Rather than requiring you to press a button and adjust the settings with every piece of bread, you can pre-load it, set your desired time and temperature, then let it get going.Outside of replenishing the bread when your batches are done, they remove a lot of manual checking and also make it easier to get through a lot of toast in a short period of time - with models that can give you anywhere from 350 to 500 slices per hour.

By removing the need to manually reset, reload individual slices and check the temperature, your kitchen’s workflow can move significantly faster.It’s as easy as feeding your bread into the entry of the conveyor toaster and collecting it at the other end once it’s finished and dropped into the tray, keeping the service moving quickly and efficiently for those busy mornings and lunchtime rushes.

Some models we stock can accommodate thicker slices of bread, including the likes of bagels, While most standard conveyor toasters are designed for around 20mm of clearance, which is thicker than standard toast-cut bread, some can accommodate bread that’s up to 30mm thick.While some pastries may fit in the toaster, we’d instead recommend something specially designed for baking pastry, like a benchtop convection oven or a combi steam oven.We recommend checking the specifications to ensure that the model you’re interested in has adequate space that you need for your kitchen.If you’re unsure, you can contact the team at REO for a recommendation.

While regular toasters are versatile, they’re more limited in capacity and take longer to operate than a conveyor toaster.Depending on the needs of your kitchen, a regular toaster may be perfectly adequate, but if you want something that facilitates consistent toast output and minimal staff intervention, a conveyor toaster is the superior option, especially for large businesses.

Regular toasters often take a little while to cook, and also don’t always have the most even or consistent heat.By contrast, conveyor toasters come with features that mean they’ll switch on and start operating as soon as you load them with more bread, will switch off when the toaster has been idle for a certain period of time, and offer even and consistent heating to give you crisp results.By operating with reliably consistent results, you’ll be able to cater to customers more easily and reduce waste - keeping costs down in the long run.
