Fully automatic loading and unloading system
The HEIN SPIDER is a fully automatic loading and unloading system designed to humanize oven work, optimize production processes and improve the quality of your products.
For a single 10 m² deck oven, loaded and unloaded three times a day, nearly 750 kilograms of dough, bread and tools must be lifted and moved, more than 300 days a year. With multiple ovens, this reaches 12 to 15 tons.
With the HEIN SPIDER, you can reduce oven work time by over 70% compared to conventional processes. Your employees are relieved and motivated, and your quality improves.

The idea - The system
From the outset, the goal of the HEIN SPIDER was to create a tool that primarily relieves and humanizes oven work while simultaneously optimizing work processes, reducing costs and, where possible, contributing to improving the quality of your products.
The fundamental component of the system is the loader/unloader unit. It is positioned in front of a deck oven. You place your dough pieces using dough trays or a transverse loader, then the loader element slides inside simultaneously with the loader, and unloads the oven at the end of the baking time.
For loading or unloading, you select the desired oven at the push of a button. For unloading, the conveyor belt moves in the opposite direction to the loading direction, allowing you to collect your products directly at an ergonomic working height.
Modular components of an installation
1) Deck oven system
2) SPIDER (loader/unloader unit)
3) Transfer table / dough crawler
4) Docking station / proofing rack
5) Outfeed conveyor / water spray device / discharge chute
The construction
To meet the standards we have set ourselves, we use only stainless steel materials as well as electrical and mechanical drive and construction elements meeting the highest quality criteria.
The main loading and unloading element is equipped with a belt that can move in two horizontal directions, stabilized with a high heat-resistant fabric. The table is leveled, height-adjustable and housed in a stable frame construction.
The precision and speed of the motorized drive create the impression that vertical and horizontal movements flow continuously. The vibration-free motion technology allows loading of all types of dough pieces without any quality loss, even those with a high degree of proofing.
The HEIN SPIDER can be used with double and triple-width ovens with depths from 160 to 240 cm. When using HEIN UNIVERSAL annular tube ovens, loading of wider ovens is also possible.
