TURN UP THE HEAT !! Yes really, even in this weather… with a sustainable oven that will boost your baking!
We might be dealing with a heat wave in the UK this week and feeling sorry for all our industry colleagues working in sweltering bakeries, but it’s a different kind of heat we are focused on..
Polin ovens are all designed and built using the philosophy that heat is as important in the baking process as any other ingredient, even if that’s only Flour, Water and Salt !
The oven ranges include modular electric ovens for the craft and retail sectors and the pinnacle Steam Tube deck ovens perfect for longer fermented products. Traditionally fuelled with Gas or oil burners, these ovens are also available to adapt to the modern economic and sustainable fuel resource of wood-pellets!
Following an increased demand for more cost efficient and sustainable bakery ovens, Polin manufacture both deck and rack ovens that take advantage of this fuel type and having manufactured wood pellet ovens for well over a decade, they are leading the way in sustainable baking fuel.
Regardless of your product or baking profile, there is now the choice available for various businesses to consider this fuel as an option for their next oven.
The wood pellet burner works in the same way a gas burner would. The energy created from the burning process is used within the heat exchanger to achieve direct heat to the steam tubes within the baking deck or the elements in the rack ovens.
Wood pellet ovens allow bakers a greater choice when considering how to fuel an oven, rather than traditional electric, gas or oil. This option can have greater environmental benefits and often offsets concerning fluctuations in common energy resources. As wood pellets are a by-product from wood production industries, the process to obtain these are a much more sustainable option and are readily available.
One bakery that has already seen a huge impact from using wood pellet ovens, is award winning Lovingly Artisan. With the bakery having a strong determination to introduce more sustainable effort to their bakery, they have been amazed by the cost savings too.
Prior to installing the wood pellet oven, the team were using 12,500 kw hours per month across the bakery. After replacing their electric oven with a steam tube wood pellet fuelled oven twice the size, the monthly usage of electricity in the bakery is now 2500 kw hours per month. Purchasing wood pellets instead of using electric has saw their energy bills go down by several hundred pounds per month immediately.
Whether it’s the improved bake profile, or the environmental factors, swapping to Wood pellet is a hot option right now! Our team of bakery experts are on hand to discuss the options, give us a call 01984 640401.
