Energy consumption is undisputed at the top of the industry’s concerns and efforts for improvement. Tunnel ovens offer opportunities to go the extra mile on the path to resource savings. The eight-generation oven builders at HEUFT have also been observing a surge in the interest in economical and flexible machines, now a universal top priority in the industry.
Bühler sees an increase in requests for flexibility regarding energy sources, energy-saving solutions and alternative heating technologies. To these, sustainability commitments are added, which also translates into an increasing interest in carbon-neutral solutions.
Sharp energy supply disruptions have shown the financial value of having a flexible system that can adapt all types of pre-existing heating methods to the cheapest and/or immediately available energy source.
