Baker Perkins TruBake™ Ovens are modular constructions that offer great flexibility in baking characteristics. They can handle a full selection of pet foods: high baking temperatures dry thick products rapidly and cost-efficiently.
Flexibility
Ovens are modular: the ability to combine radiant and convective heat in varying proportions along the length of the oven enables the ideal size, colour, moisture and thickness of product to be achieved. There is no interaction between extraction and turbulence systems, providing flexibility and control across a wide range of baking conditions.
High productivity
Designed with the aid of sophisticated computer modelling systems to provide optimum productivity of the major components. These include burners, extraction ducts and turbulence ducts. Managing the airflow in this way gives accurate, predictable control with no edge burning effects. This ensures high product quality and minimal waste.
Easy to operate
Heating and airflow all respond in a linear manner making it easy to achieve and maintain optimum baking conditions. A touch-screen with intuitive controls, clear process visualization and full alarm management provide operators with all the information needed to run the oven efficiently. Visibility of the burners simplifies understanding of the process and facilitates control. Control options extend from a PLC with a touch-screen operator interface to a full SCADA system.
Easy to maintain
Reliable maintenance-free components are used wherever possible so routine servicing is mainly for safety reasons. Cleanout doors give full access to the whole of the chamber floor, making this hygiene task rapid and easy. There is automatic cleaning of the oven band. Everything that needs maintenance or replacement is external and accessible. Burner cleaning and maintenance can be carried out during operation.
