Tips To
Reduce Energy Uses
and Operating Costs of
Industrial Oven
Energy Saving Mode
Energy-saver modeuses less electricity formost applications, butyou still have morepower available whenyou need it. Decreaseyour peak demandcharge and save big onyour energy bill.
Adjustable Exhaust Rate
Usually, an exhaust fanremoves solvent vapors,moisture, or combustionbyproducts. Adjust yourexhaust fans with amanual damper orvariable frequency drive.Set them to theminimum necessary.
Heat Recovery System
Exhaust air carries heat energy. A heat recoverysystem or heat exchanger recovers that energy fromexhaust air and returns it to the oven.
Insulate
Reduce oven heat lostthrough the walls byusing thicker insulation.Just 2” of addedinsulation can savethousands of pounds inenergy costs over the lifeof the equipment.
Seal the area where yourparts enter and exit theheating chamber. Hightemperature curtains,powered air seals, orunheated vestibules helpretain heat.
Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) Monitor
Exhaust air carries heat energy. A heat recoverysystem or heat exchanger recovers that energy fromexhaust air and returns it to the oven.
Seal Oven Openings
Variable SpeedRecirculation Fan
Idle ModeMaintain Your
Equipment
Use a variable frequencydrive to power therecirculation fan. Rampup your fan’s RPM asthe oven heats up. Onceheated, your fan canmove the lighter aireasier.
Use idle mode forpauses in production,for tooling changes, orfor operator rest breaks.During idle mode, thetemperature istemporarily reduced soit uses less energy.
Proper maintenance willsignificantly impactyour energy costs. Keepfilters and blowersclean. Follow burner gaspressure andcombustion airflowrates set forth in yourequipment manual.
Humidity Control System
A humidity control system senses oven humidity and varies the exhaust rate ofyour oven or dryer to the absolute minimum necessary to dry your product.This is especially valuable when many different materials and moisture levelsare loaded.
How to Control Humidity Using HYGROX?
Humidity is important in the food processing and drying industry. It controls notonly the moisture content and yield of your products, but also their texture,succulence, crustiness, quality and the shelf life.
By controlling humidity as well as temperature throughout the process, you canincrease capacity, achieve higher yields, and get better consistency, not tomention saving energy.
Hygrox Profitable in Baking
Humidity affects biscuits and other baked products in threeways. It governs the risen height or thickness of the product,its consistency and its final colour and finish.
The thickness of the product is important because it controlsthe stack height - the number that will fit into the pack.
Hygrox™ Portable gives you continuous humidity andtemperature information about what’s happening at everystage of baking.
