Energy Efficient Solutions for the Food Industry with Spooner Industries

With the recent economic climate having caused a slow down in most industries, many bakers are looking at ways to reduce expenditure without compromising on production. Spooner Industries has been providing the food industry with pioneering technology since 1932 and offers a range of integrated energy saving functions to help reduce wastage and improve the bottom line. Spooner’s tunnel ovens are designed with an energy efficient mode installed. During product change over, the oven temperature and airflow can be automatically lowered, while remaining ready to bake with minimal energy usage. Integrated energy saving features automatically minimise the combustion air quality and can install easy clean heat recovery systems to capture the flue stack energy and use it to pre-heat fresh air or for bakery hot water heating. Adjustable air systems allow Spooner’s tunnel oven to alter its baking characteristics, providing the ability to adjust heat flux at numerous points throughout the baking process. The company uses various methods for access, including traditional hinge doors, retracting doors and a complete retracting top half. Specific attention is paid to hygiene throughout the design and also in the manufacturing techniques used in the oven construction. Forced convection systems provide uniform airflow, which results in even and consistent bake quality, while the installation of radiant effect damper systems offers versatility in the type of bake to give the product the desired quality and appearance. Based in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, Spooner Industries has almost 80 years experience in forced convection baking, proving, cooling and drying for a range of industries, including food, paper, converting and metals. Spooner is continuously developing new and innovative technologies and solutions in their in-house testing and R&D facilities to remain at the forefront of the food industry.
