A baking oven is an indispensable element of any bakery production. Questions about how they differ from a conventional oven, in which temperature range they work and what type of connection they are, we will consider in this article.
General functionality of bread ovens
Ovens for the preparation of bread from an operational point of view should:
- be roomy to bake as many products as possible at a time;
- to have high chambers, since most of the bread is growing up;
- have autonomous upper and lower tena to adjust the baking process;
- have the option of steam generation, which will protect the top crust of bread or rolls from cracks;
- have a temperature of at least 300 ° C (a baking oven is used to implement a huge number of recipes for bakery products, and most of them are cooked in this heat).
All furnaces listed below meet these requirements.
Electric baking ovens Voskhod, Russia
In Russia, the most popular baking equipment is the products of the Saratov brand "Sunrise". It is understandable - for a frankly low price you can get a stove that can cope with the task no worse than expensive analogues. The lineup:
- Bakery oven 500, external design - galvanized steel. It consists of three autonomous chambers, each of which is equipped with two baking sheets of 70 x 46 cm in size and has the option of steam generation. The height of the working chamber allows you to bake classic loaves in the form of L7. The upper and lower tena in each chamber are individually regulated, which allows you to adjust the baking crust from the bottom and top. At the same time, the oven holds 70 loaves or 40 loaves. Type of connection - 380 V. Power - 19.2 kW. The average price in Russia is 44,000 rubles.
- Bakery oven 750 / 500.11. A complete analogue of the 500 model, except that it has one level, not three. Thus, all characteristics and indicators should be divided by 3. The average price in Russia is 23,000 rubles.
- Khpe 750/1- furnace. Also a complete analogue of its predecessor in 1 level. The main difference is that the 750/1-C model has a heat-resistant glass insert in the door, which allows you to monitor the baking process without opening the camera and without violating the created microclimate. The average price in Russia is 32,000 rubles.
All of these models are powered by electricity. But what about those who cannot afford 3 phases or simply have a weak heart that does not allow him to observe terrible electricity bills? Read below.
Gas baking ovens Voskhod, Russia
Here the scale is already different - the gas baking equipment is a rotary kiln - a structure the size of a cabinet into which a trolley with baking sheets rolls onto which dough blanks are laid. In the process of heat treatment of products, the trolley rotates around its axis to achieve uniformly baked products. So, the gas furnace "Monsoon-Rotor 55-01". Her characteristic:
