A robotic processing system and method are disclosed for processing materials using a series of containers stored in an automated storage and picking system. Each of the containers performs a specific function on the materials stored therein. The materials are passed from bin to bin via a suitable dispensing and transferring system. For example, a system is disclosed for delivering ingredients to a micro-brewery, as are methods for brewing small or test batches of beer according to customers' individual requirements.

Cooking appliance, especially a commercial cooking appliance, comprising a housing in which a cooking chamber is arranged; at least one sensor device; and a cooling device for the sensor device, which sensor device comprises the following components: a cooling housing, in which the sensor device is arranged, a heat-conducting bridge, and at least one heat-dissipating member, which is arranged on a support, wherein the cooling housing is made of heat-conducting, preferably highly thermally conductive material, and in that the heat-conducting bridge is made of thermally conductive, preferably highly thermally conductive material which connects the cooling housing to the support made of thermally conductive, preferably highly thermally conductive material.

A baking apparatus (1) for producing baked edible products, including a frame (21), a housing (20), a baking chamber (2), and a baking tong chain (3) with baking tongs (8) and rollers (9). The rollers roll on at least one longitudinal strut (10) that supports and/or guides the baking tong chain. A cooling duct (11) through which cooling air flows cools the longitudinal strut. The cooling duct (11) opens in the region of the rear deflection point (6) through at least one convection opening (12) into the baking chamber. A convection fan (25) generates a convection flow in the baking chamber and conveys the cooling air through the cooling duct (11) so that the cooling air flows through the convection opening from the cooling duct to produce an artificial convection, horizontally through the baking chamber.
