The Bakemaster Oven is the result of 20 years of MCS experience in the design and manufacture automatic baking systems. It incorporates the latest thinking combined with know how gained through the years.

The goals of the project were:

• To ensure excellence of quality in the final baked product;
  
  
• To reduce energy consumption;
  
  
• To reduce the height of the oven body in order to facilitate installation of overhead proofers.
  
  
• To design a flexible modular system, allowing configurations to cover the widest range of baking temperature profiles.
  
  

Having set these goals as a technical challenge, we now know that they have been met.

Technical features

The MCS Bakemaster, is a tunnel oven that can be supplied with either a wiremesh or a stone plate baking conveyor. The wire mesh oven is suitable to hearth-baked products as well as baking in and on pans and trays or in tins and moulds. The various oven modules may be varied according to product and customer requirements. For example it is possible to combine baking zones of various sizes to achieve an ideal baking sequence. Similarly, one or more turbo zones can be incorporated to optimise heat transfer. Modular design also allows maximum flexibility when choosing oven layout and dimensions.
For the most part, the indirectly-fired Bakemaster generates radiant heat for baking, and conducted heat coming from the oven sole. Additional heat transfer can be obtained in the form of forced convection heating from a turbulent air system which blows the hot air vertically through the baking chamber. The flow of this turbulent air can be reversed.

Low energy Consumption

Bakemaster's innovative design allows exhaust temperatures to be minimised. This results in very low energy consumption. Special care has been given to the design of a virtually "sealed" heating system, to exploit heat inside the oven and maximize heat transfer. These features make Bakemaster one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly ovens on the market.

Baking Flexibility

In the design stage, baking flexibility is achieved by carefully selecting the optimum modular layout in order to match the fundamental baking requirements of both client and product.
Whatever the chosen modular layout, by regulating the flow of the heating gasses in the heat exchangers, it is possible to adjust the baking temperature profile over a wide spectrum, giving Bakemaster impressive flexibility.
Due to this flexibility each Bakemaster oven can easily be adapted to bake a wide range of products, such as:

• Rolls, hearth-baked and/or in pans or trays
  
• Bread, hearth-baked and/or in tins
  
• Cakes
  
• Confectionery
  
• American style pizza
  
  

Automated adjustment of the dampers and steam exhaust valves is an option on all bakemaster ovens. By means of a recipe management programme or, for the most sophisticated and demanding production requirements, by means of an automated software-driven system consisting of a set of sensors inside the baking chamber.
Feedback from these sensors is transposed into damper settings in order to obtain a constantly modulated baking process, resulting in perfect product consistency.
