Revolutionizing Commercial Ovens with Middleby Marshall's Innovative CTX Line

Revolutionizing Commercial Ovens with the Middleby Marshall CTX

Restaurant and commercial kitchen operators are always looking for equipment that can improve efficiency and output while maintaining high standards of food quality. At the 2023 National Restaurant Association Show, Middleby Marshall showcased their innovative CTX oven line that aims to set a new benchmark for performance and versatility in commercial ovens.

Unmatched Temperature Precision and Control

One of the standout features of the new Middleby Marshall CTX ovens is their precision temperature control system. The ovens utilize smart sensing technology to actively monitor the internal temperature and make constant micro-adjustments to maintain the target temp within +/- 1°F. This level of control allows operators to achieve optimal and consistent cooking results every time.

The CTX ovens also feature rapid heat up and cool down functions. They can reach cooking temperature in just minutes from cold start, and also recover temperature quickly after opening the doors. This improves kitchen workflow and allows faster ticket times.

Innovative Air Flow and Ventilation

Another key innovation of the CTX line is the patented AirFlow baking system. It utilizes a powerful 2-speed fan to create a vortex of hot air that thoroughly penetrates food. The result is rapid, even cooking with no hot or cold spots.

The ovens also have ventless options available. This circulates air through a catalytic converter to remove smoke, grease, and odors. Ventless ovens expand installation options and are perfect for locations with ventilation restrictions.

Automation Features for Consistency

To maximize output and ensure consistent results, the CTX ovens come equipped with automated cooking functions. Operators can program recipes with custom cooking profiles that dictate target temperature, airflow speed, and cook times.

The ovens automatically adjust oven parameters to follow the programmed recipe. This removes variability from human operators and ensures a perfect cook every time. Up to 500 recipes can be saved and recalled at the touch of a button.

Advanced Controls and Smart Diagnostics

Middleby Marshall designed the CTX line for maximum ease of use. The ovens feature intuitive touchscreen controls with recipe programming and other options. Icons and alerts clearly indicate oven status and performance.

The ovens also have automated diagnostics to catch potential issues before they cause downtime. Operators get alerted to things like blocked air flow or temperature sensor malfunctions. This allows quick resolution of problems and improves uptime.

Flexible Configurations

The CTX oven line is available in multiple sizes and configuration options. Single units are available in widths from 30" up to 60". There are also double-stack oven configurations to maximize capacity without increasing footprint.

Interior options include stainless steel or porcelain coated steel. Operators can choose racks, Loader trays, or Deck oven configurations. This flexibility makes the CTX a versatile addition suited for a wide range of commercial kitchens.

Improved Safety Features

In busy commercial kitchens, safety is a top concern. The CTX ovens are designed with cool-to-touch stainless steel exteriors to prevent burns. The doors stay firmly in place when open to avoid accidental closing and injury.

There are also built-in automatic door locks in self clean mode to prevent dangerous exposure to high temperatures. Vents are precisely angled to direct hot air and steam away from operators.

The Next Generation of Commercial Ovens

With their innovative features and cooking performance, the new Middleby Marshall CTX ovens aim to revolutionize efficiency and output for restaurants and commercial kitchens. Precise temperature control, automated programming, smart diagnostics, and flexible configuration options help these ovens set a new standard for the industry.

Operators at the 2023 National Restaurant Association Show could see these exciting new ovens first-hand. The CTX line exemplifies how Middleby Marshall is leveraging technology to develop the next generation of commercial cooking equipment. For kitchens looking to upgrade, the CTX presents an enticing new option to improve productivity and quality.
