Abstract

A baking pan oiling device includes a housing for receiving a plurality of baking pans therethrough during a pan oiling operation, an oil supply fluidly coupled to a plurality of nozzles, and a pump for causing the nozzles to spray oil into at least one orifice of each of the baking pans. A sensor arranged downstream of the nozzles generates signals corresponding to a sensed presence or absence of oil in the baking pan, and a control unit determines the pan oiling device requires attention based on such signals, including causing the pan oiling operation to be stopped, transmitting a message, and/or causing an indicator to be actuated. The sensor may additionally sense pan type and/or color, oil spray pattern on the pan, spray amount on the pan, and so on, and in response, the control unit may generate control signals to facilitate operations of the pan oiling device.
