RBS and Sustainability
Sustainability is a significant initiative at RBS, and our efforts regarding ovens make us the industry leader in oven technology and sustainable baking solutions. One of our key goals is to conserve energy and reduce harmful emissions.
While hydrogen is clean energy, electric oven power is likely the best long-term solution from an end-user point of view. We see a hydrogen blend and electric power as alternative fuel solutions. We have tested and implemented these solutions to assess the results.
Beyond the energy source of the ovens, our newest oven designs feature better oven insulation that minimizes the conductive heat paths from the interior of the oven to the exterior. Lighter-weight oven belting also helps conserve energy. In addition, we offer items like heat reclaim systems that can assist by re-heating the oven make-up air.
Our electric cracker oven has been designed to replace DGF ovens. This involves adding electric heat elements to our Emithermic Oven Zone, enabling this zone to impart the higher heat cracker-baking requires without a lot of air currents that would dry the product before flavor and texture development.
Top Five Reasons for Replacing a DGF Oven
There are several reasons why a commercial bakery might consider replacing a direct gas-fired (DGF) oven. Here are five potential reasons:
- Age and wear: DGF ovens can last for many years with proper maintenance, but they become worn and less efficient over time. If your oven is reaching the end of its useful life, it may be time to consider a replacement.
- Inefficient heating: As direct gas-fired ovens age, they can become less efficient at heating. This can cause longer bake times, inconsistent temperature control, and lower product quality. An electric DGF replacement oven from RBS offers better heating technology that can ensure consistent baking results.
- Inability to meet demand: As bakeries grow, they may need to produce more baked goods in less time. If their existing DGF oven cannot keep up with demand, it may be time for a more efficient oven.
- Safety concerns: Older direct gas-fired ovens may pose safety hazards if they are not properly maintained. Replacing an outdated DGF oven with a newer, safer model can help to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of workers.
- New features or functionality: Newer DGF ovens may offer features not available in older models. For example, a new oven may provide advanced control systems, improved energy efficiency, or the ability to bake a wider variety of products.
