Abstract
In an automated commercial baking system, a bakery utensil storage system is provided for automatically receiving baking utensils from a continuous conveyor of the baking system and immediately directing the utensils over a selectively positionable curved conveyor for engagement with a predetermined one of a series of table top conveyors from where they are immediately returned to the baking system or lifted by and stored in elevators associated with the table top conveyors. When needed, the utensils are lowered by the elevators for engagement with the table top conveyors from where they are carried to a selectively positionable curved conveyor for return to the continuous conveyor of the baking system.
