Invoq Hybrid Combi Oven 6 Grid 1/1 GN

The Invoq Hybrid 6 Grid is a full-size combi oven that combines a boiler-based steam system with an injection steam method, allowing it to draw on both technologies depending on the cooking mode in use. This dual-source approach gives operators more consistent steam saturation across the entire cooking chamber, which is particularly relevant for high-density steaming loads where uniformity matters. It operates across a wide temperature range and is designed to handle sustained production across a full service period.

In busy kitchen environments, the hybrid steam system maintains stable conditions even when the oven is loaded heavily and doors are opened repeatedly during service. The integrated sensors monitor chamber conditions continuously, adjusting steam output to compensate for temperature drop and moisture loss. Recovery is handled efficiently without operator intervention, which reduces the attention burden during peak periods. The boiler and injection systems working together also means the oven is not wholly dependent on a single steam-generation method, which adds a degree of resilience in demanding production schedules.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages include:

• Consistent steam saturation suited to intensive batch steaming
• Smart sensors that reduce manual monitoring during busy service
• Automated cleaning system designed to minimise water and energy use
• Integrated drain and water inlet systems simplifying day-to-day operation
• Capacity to extend to a 7-tray configuration for higher throughput

Installation requires careful planning. At 128kg and with a footprint of 1000mm wide by 1200mm deep, this is a substantial piece of equipment that will need adequate floor space, appropriate structural support, and sufficient clearance for ventilation and door swing. A plumbed water supply and drain connection are required, and the oven must be installed in line with current ventilation regulations — typically under an extraction canopy. Electrical supply requirements should be confirmed with your installer prior to ordering.

This oven is well suited to contract caterers, hotel kitchens, central production units, and healthcare or education catering operations where steaming forms a significant part of the daily production load. It is a practical choice for sites that need reliable, consistent results across multiple steaming cycles each day. For lighter or lower-frequency use, a smaller or simpler model may offer better value; for very high-volume or multi-rack production environments, it is worth exploring whether a larger-capacity unit would be a better fit for the operation.
