 | Tunnel Ovens - GOLDSTREAM OVENBOUW HOLLANDHigh efficiency and reliability is required for industrial wafer and biscuit production lines, running 24 hours per day continuously at high capacity. Just in time on the occasion of interpack we are glad to announce our latest partnership with GOLDSTREAM OVENBOUW HOLLAND. We have closed a deal with Jan Ravensbergen, owner of GOLDSTREAM, about the international distribution as well as the production of GOLDSTREAM tunnel ovens in our factory in Erkelenz, Germany to cope with the increasing demand of reliable process-controlled baking equipment.
Paul and Jan Ravensbergen built bakery equipment and specially tunnel ovens since 1975. In 1984 Jan Ravensbergen joined with van der Wal Ovenbouw, Dordrecht. The specialties of the GOLDSTREAM system are the incorporation of important technical details of the historical oven concepts (which nearly all remaining oven builders omitted in their actual systems) into the modern oven design with precise controls, PLC with touch panel and recipe memory, stainless steel outside cladding for hygienic working conditions, etc. GOLDSTREAM ovens have been supplied to a number of renowned confectionery producers – primarily in the BeNeLux-region.
With the agreement of manufacturing the GOLDSTREAM-oven, TECON has made a big step forward in its future development.
Complementary to the convection oven, TECON can now offer the full range of baking systems, incl. direct gas fired ovens, indirect fired ovens, (for natural gas, LPG (propane/butane gas) or Diesel oil) Hybrid ovens and combinations of direct or indirect fired ovens with convection oven sections.
The applications are depending on the desired heat transfer effect, corresponding to special product and quality characteristics.
Another issue is the flexibility of the oven system for future plannings on innovative products and most economical usage of energy. A further aspect is the optimal baking time, the temperature and humidity control and the production capacity, without compromising in product quality.
The GOLDSTREAM direct fired gas oven type MBO is a powerful baking system for a wide range of products from crackers, hard biscuits, moulded biscuits and soft biscuits. Even sensitive products, which do not allow any air flow on top of the product can be baked in this universal type of oven. Multiple ribbon gas burners, combined with a sectional temperature sensing, an intelligent temperature control system and the radiation effect of transversally mounted tubes closed to the tip of the flame are assuring the uniform baking.
The indirect fired GOLDSTREAM-cyclotherm oven type ZO is provided for products, requiring radiation heat transfer and higher moisture content in the baking atmosphere. Instead of the multi-burner heating systems, the oven is fitted with several central burner stations, (depending on the entire oven length) and radiant pipes above and below the baking conveyor.
The direct gas fired forced convection oven type KON possesses the physically most efficient heat transfer with low energy consumption and uniform product surface colouring. As the convection speed is adjustable, a shiny skin can be achieved with a light texture inside. Individually adjustable nozzle burners, provided with secondary air infeed, assuring stabile flames and final combustion inside the baking chamber, even at high speed convection. By adjustment of the flame length more or less radiation can be effected. – The convection is effected by tangential fans, assuring an even air flow in both transversal and longitudinal direction. The air flow is independently adjustable for each temperature zone. Furthermore the humidity of the baking atmosphere is adjustable.
With all built-in adjustment facilities:
- selection of burners (on/off)
- temperature profile in multiple zones
- convection speed and profile
- flame length (more or less radiation)
- humidity regulation
and the PLC process control system, provided for programming and memorising of all process parameters, the oven type KON becomes a versatile part of a reliable universal biscuit production line.
Depending on the specific requirements we can offer the most efficient and preferred oven configuration to obtain the desired product quality. Any option or combination of oven type can be fitted with:
- wire mesh belt or carbon steel band
- available baking band widths from 600 mm to 3.000 mm |
