Emithermic XE Oven Zone

A revolutionary replacement for Direct Gas-Fired Ovens

For generations, Direct Gas-Fired (DGF) ovens have been the industry standard. However, their operational drawbacks—high energy costs, complex maintenance, and inconsistent product quality—have become increasingly apparent. These challenges arise from the large number of ribbon burners that require ongoing adjustment and skilled operators to ensure consistent heat delivery.

To address these challenges, RBS has developed the Emithermic XE Oven—a cutting-edge solution engineered to deliver superior baking performance while reducing energy consumption and simplifying operations. The oven uses a centralized penthouse to deliver heat to the Thermatec panels that then delivered balanced heat and high radiant component required to develop the flavor and texture of the crackers.

Discover how the Emithermic XE Oven will optimize your biscuit and cracker production process.

  • Increase Efficiency and Reduce Emissions: Replace traditional ribbon burners with high radiant Thermatec panels to lower energy consumption and minimize emissions.
  • Improved Flexibility: Adapt to diverse production needs with an enclosed humidity-controlled bake zone
  • Enhanced Product Consistency: Achieve consistent flavor and texture with Thermatec panels that deliver evenly balanced heat across the baking band.
  • Simplified Operation: Hands-off, recipe-driven control with only 6 operator control points.
  • Easy Maintenance: Eliminates costly downtime necessary to clean, tune and/or replace ribbon burners.
  • Retro-fit Ready: Designed to be easily converted from gas-powered ovens to electric to reach future sustainability goals
