Baker Perkins - 3 x Baker Perkins Travelling Ovens

• Large-scale production of bread and rolls.
• Continuous baking of biscuits and crackers.
• High-volume production of pastries and cakes.
• Industrial-scale production of various baked goods requiring consistent heat.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput is high, often measured in hundreds or thousands of units per hour, depending on product size and bake time.

Power supply

Commonly, industrial ovens of this type require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with significant current draw.

Heating method

Baker Perkins travelling ovens typically utilise direct or indirect gas firing, or electric heating elements, to achieve consistent baking temperatures.

Temperature range

Units of this type are designed for baking temperatures commonly ranging from 150°C to over 300°C, depending on the product.

Footprint

Travelling ovens are substantial pieces of equipment, requiring a significant factory footprint, typically 15m or more in length for the baking chamber alone.

Belt material

Conveyor belts on these ovens are typically constructed from woven wire mesh or steel plates, designed for high temperature and continuous operation.

• What are the advantages of a travelling oven?

  Travelling ovens offer continuous, high-volume production with consistent baking results due to precise temperature control and automated product movement. They are highly efficient for large-scale operations.

• What kind of maintenance do these ovens require?

• Can these ovens be used for different products?

• What should I consider regarding installation?

• Is spare parts availability an issue for older Baker Perkins ovens?

Used bakery ovens are valued for their durability and long operational lifespans when properly maintained. Buyers typically prioritise even heat distribution, reliable temperature control, and sturdy construction. Key considerations include verifying heating element condition, checking door seals, and confirming calibration accuracy. Well-maintained models from established manufacturers generally command confidence in the market. Prospective purchasers should assess whether capacity matches production requirements and inspect for signs of wear in internal chambers and control systems before committing to purchase.
