Buhler is reliable on the market of commercial food equipment (such as baking furnace) manufacturers, is committed to helping customers improve the stability and efficiency of production, reduce the waste and energy consumption in the process of production.In order to ensure the real-time accurate measurement Meincke Turbu level of humidity in the baking furnace, buhler adopted the precise and functional diversity of visa DRYCAP DMP6 ® and dew point temperature probe and the data processing unit Indigo500 series.Along with the rising energy prices and environmental problems increasingly prominent, improve efficiency are crucial for companies in all industries.This involved in food production is especially obvious in the technological process of the baking furnace, the highest working temperature for baking furnace of up to 325 ° C.

With Meincke Turbu indirect burning convection baking furnace, buhler expected to practice the company's strategic commitment by increasing efficiency, 50% in 2025 to help customers to save energy, water and waste products.

When ordering baking furnace, a customer is using natural gas, and to spend 10 million euros per year on average;DMP6 temperature probe and Indigo500 series data processing unit to realize precise humidity measurement helps to reduce as much as 20% of the gas consumption, which means that a large amount of cost savings.

Stability of the baking process conditions to ensure reliable product quality

Denmark buller biscuit business department senior r&d engineer Morten B ø gild and Christoffer Bay, said using a sensor suite, including visa pull technology can continuously monitor baking furnace condition, this means you can bake food quality more stable."By measuring the humidity level in the baking furnace, you can control the process in order to maintain the stability of the baking process conditions, even if environmental conditions or other factors such as raw material quality fluctuate too," explained Morten."That makes products in evenness, thickness, color, and other customers pay attention to the quality of the parameters is more stable, thereby reducing waste."Built-in measuring technology of baking furnace will help improve buhler products."Let our customers have the opportunity to control the humidity of baking furnace, rather than just temperature, for those who use different baking process conditions of production of a variety of products for companies particularly valuable."Christoffer said.

Visa,The probe DMP6 DRYCAP ® and dew point temperatureDesigned for under the condition of high temperature and dew point for on-line humidity measuring and design.It has the function of passive cooling, heat can be away from the probe, the temperature drops to the sensor working range, suitable for demanding industrial baking furnace conditions.The technology to make buhler for customers in the set baking furnace can provide higher accuracy and flexibility.Moreover, DMP6 measuring probe can be connected toVisa Indigo500 series data processing unit, provide real-time data visualization and probe configuration access functions.

The stable water content means more efficient production

Monitoring water content also helps to shorten the time needed for baking quality products."When baking cookies, baking furnace usually in 60-70 ° C under the dew point of operation, but our Meincke Turbu baking furnace can withstand higher humidity levels," said Morten."It means less need to heat the air, because when we adjust moisture content, don't need so many air exchange.In addition, the drying oven need higher temperature to achieve the same heat transfer, and high humidity can damage the stove.Therefore, under the condition of high humidity, only with the aid of precise monitoring, we can keep stable humidity level within the scope of the security, to save a lot of energy costs for our customers.

Benefits is far more than that - in addition to reduce gas consumption, transport of baking food conveyor belt can also be faster by baking furnace, for the preparation of products faster, it can raise the yield and efficiency.

From automation to digital

Buhler is at the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution in the industry, the smart technology into existing automated production facilities, through continuous upgrade of monitoring, reporting, and artificial intelligence technology to improve performance."The market has slowly to accept this change, and by allowing customers to realize more accurate data and reasonable use can bring efficiency advantage, we are pushing for real change in the industry.Humidity measurement is a very important means of insight, it can improve the efficiency of roasting process, and help us to have a better understanding of the furnace heat flow on the quality of the final product."Christoffer said.

Morten think visa is the ideal partner, and can help buhler and its customers realize their ambitious efficiency goals."Visa technology is vital for our work.These sensor calibration and use easily, and strong enough to withstand extreme conditions.Flemming B ø ge of Brdr. J ø rgensen Instruments is visa partners in Denmark, they work closely with us, help determine the ideal solution;We also pulled myself from visa application experts there won a lot of practical guidance about how to calculate the humidity value, it use every day for our equipment technical personnel is very good, "he explains."Even before we choose visa to pull as a preferred supplier, we have customers in their orders for equipment we use visa to pull clear requirements.With digital and artificial intelligence increasing demand related features, the demand will only be on the rise, so we to the work of the full of expectation.

Baking furnace monitoring

In a lot of baking and drying process, the correct baking conditions can provide competitive advantage for manufacturers.Baking bread and grain manufacturing application, for instance, must strictly control the humidity in drying oven and baking furnace level, to ensure that the product has high quality and yield, and give the finished product.

Understand our solution is suitable for baking furnace, in order to achieve cost savings and resource efficiency.
