Devario

What Devario does

Devario, operating commercially under the Sondhii brand via the spiral-oven.com domain, is a U.K.-based designer and manufacturer of industrial thermal processing and conveying equipment for food manufacturers. The company was originally established as Devario and later restructured into Sondhii Limited (England company #12710409), with operations now listed from London. Its core product portfolio is built around three integrated lines: the Helix Spiral Oven — a continuous spiral oven using a helical belt path that delivers up to 300% higher capacity than equivalent linear continuous ovens, with single or dual drum configurations, gas or electric heating, steam humidity control, and integrated CIP; the Flare Flame Grill — a continuous gas flame grill and bar marker using ribbon burners and flame impingement for searing, color, and branding; and Sondhii Conveyors — custom all-metal, stainless-steel conveyor belts with tight turn radii (down to 0.5 turn ratio / 150mm inside radius) supporting solid or perforated surfaces, high/low temperature operation, and edge-driven drumless spiral configurations.

Underlying technology centers on proprietary helical belt geometry, tight-radius conveyor design, dynamic modulating airflow, and integrated controls with recipe storage, enabling compact footprints (e.g., 2 square-metre machines cooking up to 75 birds per hour) and capacities from 100kg/hr to more than 1,000kg/hr. The business model is direct, consultative enterprise sales: engineers engage with food manufacturers to specify custom equipment, build to order, and provide project management for installation. Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, with revenue generated from one-time equipment sales, professional services for bespoke engineering, and — increasingly — standalone conveyor sales to third parties. Customers are enterprise food manufacturers and high-volume retail outlets in Europe, North America, and other international markets, with case studies in chicken cooking, meat searing, vegetable roasting, onion peeling, and cook-chill combination lines.
