The Lainox SAG161BV is a gas-fired boilerless combination oven configured as two independently controlled units stacked within a single column — a 6-grid section mounted above a 10-grid section, giving a combined capacity of 16 full 1/1 GN trays. Each oven operates independently with its own touchscreen controls, cooking modes, and programme memory, which means a kitchen can run two entirely different menus or production cycles simultaneously without any conflict between them.

In a busy service environment, this configuration offers a level of operational flexibility that a single large oven cannot. The lower 10-grid section handles volume production — roasting, regeneration, or high-demand baking — while the upper 6-grid unit can run a separate cycle at a different temperature or humidity level at exactly the same time. Recovery between cycles is consistent because the boilerless steam system generates moisture directly within the cavity rather than relying on a separate boiler, which also reduces maintenance burden over time.

Practically, the SAG161BV suits kitchens that need high throughput without doubling their oven footprint. Key operational advantages include:

  • Two independent cooking chambers running simultaneously with separate programmes
  • Touchscreen controls with recipe storage on each unit for consistent, repeatable results
  • Boilerless steam generation eliminating boiler descaling and associated downtime
  • Gas operation, which typically suits sites with existing gas infrastructure and lower energy costs
  • Stainless steel construction throughout, suited to the hygiene and cleaning demands of a commercial kitchen

At 240kg and over two metres in height, this is a substantial piece of equipment that requires careful planning before installation. The footprint of 1030mm wide by 980mm deep is workable in most larger kitchens, but ceiling clearance, ventilation extraction, and adequate gas supply all need to be confirmed in advance. Given the combined capacity, it is typically installed on a solid level floor with appropriate anti-tip measures. Access for delivery and positioning in the kitchen should be assessed early, particularly in buildings with narrow corridors or restricted loading areas.

This oven is best suited to high-volume operations such as contract caterers, hotel kitchens, large restaurant groups, hospitals, or central production units where two simultaneous cooking programmes are a regular operational requirement. For smaller kitchens with more modest throughput, a single 6- or 10-grid unit is likely a more proportionate choice. For sites with output demands that exceed even this configuration, heavier-duty or higher-grid alternatives are available within the range.

If you are working through kitchen planning or want to confirm that this configuration fits your extraction, gas supply, and workflow, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 16-grid combi oven the right size for our operation?

A 16-grid stacked configuration is generally suited to kitchens producing at significant volume — hotels, contract catering, central production, or large restaurant operations where two independent cooking cycles running simultaneously add real operational value. If your service rarely requires both sections to run at capacity, a single 10-grid unit may be a more practical and cost-effective starting point. We are happy to work through your typical covers and production requirements to help you decide.

What are the key installation requirements for the SAG161BV?

The oven requires a suitable gas supply with the correct pressure and flow rate for the burner configuration, along with a dedicated ventilation canopy or extraction system capable of handling the combined heat and steam output from both sections. At 240kg, the unit must be sited on a solid, level floor, and ceiling height needs to comfortably clear the 2040mm overall height plus any required clearance above. Delivery access and in-building routing should be assessed before ordering given the size and weight.

What does 'boilerless' mean in practice, and does it affect cooking performance?

A boilerless combi oven generates steam directly inside the cooking cavity — typically by injecting water onto a heated surface — rather than relying on a separate external boiler to supply steam. In practical terms this means there is no boiler to descale or service, which reduces maintenance requirements and the risk of steam-related downtime. Steam quality and humidity control are well suited to most commercial cooking applications, though sites with specific high-humidity steam requirements, such as certain bakery production processes, should discuss their needs with us beforehand.
