TruBake™ HiCirc Convection Oven

The TruBake™ HiCirc Oven uses a high-rate direct convection heating system to achieve exceptional product quality, high throughput and low operating costs. Precision control of temperature and airflow above and below the band creates a stable and predictable environment capable of even baking, good moisture extraction and minimal fuel consumption. A choice of heating system, zone length and the ability to be combined with other oven types enable the TruBake™ HiCirc to be configured to the precise needs of any application.

High efficiency at lower temperatures

The same bake is achieved at a lower temperature by increasing the volume and velocity of the convection air. This is enhanced by a return system that quickly removes spent air from the baking surface and prevents slowing of heat transfer to the product. Faster baking and lower losses through the heating system lead to minimized fuel consumption. Not having a heat exchanger results in a much faster temperature response time and a 40:1 turndown range. As well as delivering a high heat flux to bake a full range of products, this results in significant savings in both fuel and maintenance costs.

Stable baking environment for any product profile

Each zone is specified to achieve the desired baking profile, with independent temperature, extraction and airflow control. High pressure in the plenums above and below the band distributes the heated air evenly across the full width of the oven. Spent air is drawn away from the baking surface quickly and effectively. Edge effects are controlled by adjustable shutters on the plenums and the return air ducts to ensure that baking is consistent and even.

Modular, hygienic design maximizes floor space

Multiple modules are arranged on site to form an oven with separate heating zones. Blowers and burners are located above the oven, creating free aisles and more available floor space surrounding the oven. Large cleanout doors are located every 2.1m (7ft) for improved hygiene and maintenance access, and there is ample clearance under the band return for cleaning the bakery floor. The oven is controlled from a single touch screen HMI that provides full process visualisation and recipe control for consistent quality and rapid changeovers.
