Which Tray Capacity Fits Your Bakery?
Start with HCV-5 when your planned batches fit five trays and you want to assess a lower rated electrical load. Compare HCV-10 when you regularly need more trays in the same batch and your site can accommodate its installation requirements.
Product size, spacing, recipe, baking time and loading schedules all affect output. Share your pieces per tray and peak-hour demand so the selection can be reviewed against your workflow.

Commercial Convection Oven Buying Guide
Applications for Bread, Cookies and Pastries
A commercial bakery convection oven circulates heated air around tray-loaded products. Consider the HCV series for bread, biscuits or cookies, and pies, then validate the settings with your own recipe and intended loading pattern.
- Bread: discuss the required crust, product size and steam timing.
- Cookies and biscuits: assess tray spacing, colour and texture across the intended batch.
- Pies and pastries: check the balance between surface colour and the finished centre.
Request test information relevant to your product. Useful comparisons record the recipe, piece weight, tray loading, temperature, steam setting and bake time. Evaluate a full intended batch as well as a sample tray.
Steam Injection and Reversing Airflow
The HCV series includes steam injection and a fan that rotates in both directions. Steam adds moisture during baking; the appropriate amount and timing depend on the product and recipe. A water connection is required.
Steam injection does not by itself provide a combi oven’s dedicated steam and combination cooking modes. If your menu requires steaming or specified humidity control, confirm those functions before selecting equipment.
What to Confirm Before Ordering
For buyers in the United States, Canada and Australia, confirm these details before finalizing the model:
- Tray compatibility: HCV specifications list 600 × 400 mm trays, approximately 23.6 × 15.7 inches. This differs from the North American 18 × 26-inch full-sheet format. Send your actual tray dimensions for a fit check.
- Electrical supply: provide your site’s voltage, frequency and phase so the proposed configuration can be confirmed.
- Installation: request drawings and confirm access, support, clearances, ventilation and water requirements with your installer.
- Documentation: request the documents applicable to the exact model and configuration for your project.
- Commercial terms: confirm included accessories, packaging, delivery scope, lead time, warranty terms, spare parts and service arrangements in the quotation.

Commercial Convection Oven FAQs
How much does an HCV commercial convection oven cost?
Request a quotation for the chosen model and destination. Compare the equipment configuration, accessories, delivery scope and installation responsibilities alongside the quoted price.
Can I use my existing bakery trays?
The listed tray format is 600 × 400 mm. Send your actual tray dimensions and product height for a fit check, including rack spacing and loading clearance.
Does rated power show actual electricity consumption?
No. The listed 9.5 kW and 19 kW ratings are not measured energy consumption per batch. Compare energy use only with a defined recipe, load, temperature and operating schedule.
Should I choose a convection oven or a deck oven?
Start with your products and preferred baking process. Convection ovens move hot air around trays; deck ovens bake on heated decks. Compare sample results for your menu before choosing.
