Conveyor toasters, also called bun toasters, are machines designed to work in environments with a high presence of fats, fumes and oils, with temperatures up to 35°C and very intense work cycles, often continuously 24 /7. They allow to heat several slices of bread simultaneously and quickly, thanks to the traction of a belt, they are passed through a specific heating path.
