Since 1983 TECNOPOOL is a market leader in complete automatic production lines for food industry, such as cooling, freezing, proofing, baking, pasteurizing and product handling; is able to provide an huge number of technical solutions which can meet whatever customer’s production requirement for any kind of products (buns, pizzas, tin bread, muffins, and every kind of special breads) and which can easily fit to excisting production plants.
Diathermic oil spiral oven
Tecnopool, faithful to its philosophy of simplifying production lines for mechanical and economic reasons, has completed its range of plants with a spiral cooking system which, thanks to its configuration, allows for space saving and a smooth production process.
In this way, it is possible to avoid the use of row gear up/gear down system, which are very common In the pan lines used in tunnel ovens.
This is not something new; however, this spiral configuration makes it possible to make the best of the heating system designed by Tecnopool for this oven.
The absence of forced ventilation and the favourable balance of air/product volume in the cell, compared to a tunnel oven, makes it possible to work with room temperatures between 10°C and 15°C lower than those used by tunnelovens (cookingd times being equal). In special cases, according to the experience, these difference can reach 30°C.
The technical decision leading to choose a radiator system, togheter with the special configuration afforded by the spiral, come from the results obtained after years of trials with all types of products and in very differente working conditions, which show a higher performance, thus improving the resuls compared with other systems.
The thermal fluid that runs through the tubes is diathermic oil, a system that has been chosen on account of its high thermic performance and its very low risk.
It must be taken into consideration that the performance of a diathermic-oil boiler ranges between 87% and 91% compared to 60% of an air-heating system or 30% of a direct-flame heating system.
This spiral oven makes it possible to save space, simplify the flow of the production line and save energy.
