Blodgett CTB-2 Half Size Double Stacked Convection Oven

The Blodgett CTB-2 is a double stacked half-size convection oven running on three-phase power. The stacked configuration places two independently operated oven cavities within a single floor footprint, making it a practical choice where kitchen space is limited but cooking capacity cannot be compromised. Each cavity operates as a standalone convection oven, circulating hot air evenly to deliver consistent results across baked goods, roasted proteins, reheated dishes, and more.

In a busy service environment, the ability to run two cavities independently is a genuine operational advantage. Operators can hold one cavity at a lower holding temperature while running the other at full baking temperature, or run both at full capacity during peak periods to move product through quickly. The convection fan arrangement supports even heat distribution across the half-size pans, reducing the need to rotate trays mid-cook — a meaningful time saving during a pressured service.

Key practical advantages include:

• Twin independent cavities allow simultaneous cooking at different temperatures
• Stacked format keeps the combined footprint comparable to a single full-size unit
• Even air circulation reduces hot spots and tray rotation requirements
• Stainless steel construction supports cleaning and withstands heavy daily use
• Proven Blodgett build quality associated with long service life in commercial kitchens

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, so this is not suitable for kitchens with single-phase supply only. At 270kg the unit is substantial — floor loading, access routes, and final positioning should be confirmed before delivery. Ventilation requirements should be assessed as part of your kitchen planning; the unit will need adequate clearance and extraction in line with standard commercial kitchen regulations.

The CTB-2 is well suited to medium-volume catering operations — hotels, restaurants, contract caterers, and similar sites — where half-size pan compatibility aligns with existing kit and two independently controlled cavities provide meaningful flexibility. For very high-volume sites running full-size pans or requiring greater throughput, a full-size or larger-capacity model may be worth considering. Equally, if only a single cavity is needed, a non-stacked alternative may represent a more proportionate investment.

If you are unsure whether the CTB-2 is the right fit for your site — particularly around electrical supply, extraction, or throughput requirements — the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
