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.
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.
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.
HEUFT is bringing one of its latest heat exchangers to Munich this October, as well as a deck and a trolley oven. Its thermal oil system will be used to bake live at the show. HEUFT is exhibiting along its sister company that specializes in refrigeration and cooling systems, ICECOOL.
The trend is clear: the path leads away from fossil fuels and towards regenerative resources such as hydrogen, biogas, or bioelectricity, and includes wind and solar power for their potential.
Bühler announced the delivery of its first Prime Masa plant in India – the second Prime Masa plant worldwide – to PV Sons Corn Milling. The plant will consume 84% less water, 52% less energy compared to a traditional process.
Smart devices are quickly becoming an indispensable part of life inside the baking shop as they are on the outside. For in-store ovens, smart tools are being developed to make them more efficient and easier to operate for consistent results.
In the industrial baking of any type of bread, and a multitude of other product ranges, tunnel ovens are the giants of large-volume, continuous baking, for which efficiency is a must.
