Professional kitchen equipment for catering and industrial kitchens must meet the highest standards. Especially concerning energy efficiency, many professional combi ovens, steam cookers, blast freezers and other appliances have considerable potential for improvement. This is where the intelligent technology from ZIEHL-ABEGG comes in: with cutting-edge EC motors for circulating air fans of professional ovens, the baking process can be optimized thanks to precise control. At the same time this technology will lead to reduced waste and energy savings.
Product solutions from ZIEHL-ABEGG stand for maximum precision, homogeneity, consistency and energy efficiency!
May we introduce: Pierre the Baker
Pierre grows up in France in his father's bakery. Especially the bread, baked in a traditional wood-fired oven, is well-known and very popular throughout the area.
When Pierre inherits the family bakery, he modernizes the business model: he specializes in baking croissants and sells 1,000 croissants daily within a short time.
Because the wood-fired oven bakes unevenly, some croissants burn while others are unbaked. Thus, Pierre has to bake 1,200 croissants every day to sell 1,000.
About this waste of food, Pierre is very sad...
Just five more minutes of sleep...
Pierre finds an oven manufacturer and buys a professional oven with a steamer. The new oven is smaller, cleaner, bakes faster, and includes a fan for hot air with an EC motor ECblue MK090 from ZIEHL-ABEGG. Now the oven is heated more evenly, reducing waste to less than 5%.
Precise programming of the baking process enables even distribution of the hot air in the oven. As a result, all croissants are baked to the perfect cooking point at the same time.
The EC motor's high efficiency and the baking process's precise setting save energy and significantly reduce electricity costs.
Pierre has since been able to open three more bakeries. Thanks to cloud-based control and monitoring of the new equipment, Pierre achieves a consistently high quality of his baked goods anytime and anywhere and can even sleep a whole hour longer in the morning. Pierre is very happy about that.
