Gulfood Manufacturing: Mecatherm exhibits bakery ovens

MECATHERM develops, produces and installs ovens, machines and automated production lines for industrial bakery products, whether fresh or frozen, fully baked or par-baked. The company chose Gulfood Manufacturing to exhibit its BLOC BOMBI and Double Action Oven (FDA) for the first time in the region.

Sofiane Ouffa, sales representative at Mecatherm SA said, “Mecatherm has developed the concept of the BLOC COMBI which integrates the dissociable operations of dividing, resting, moulding and automatic depositing of dough pieces, either on flat or convoluted trays or on boards, or in molds.

The BLOC COMBI (in photo) has been developed to be able to produce, on a single make-up, tin breads, baguettes and rolls. Thanks to its great flexibility and its ability to easily switch from a product to another, the COMBI BLOC brings operating efficiency to the whole line. Throughout the process, the dough pieces are treated and transported which such care that the end product has become the standard for automated production today.”

The Double Action Oven (FDA) is a single deck tunnel oven which offers cyclothermic and impingement heat transfer, or any combination of both. Each baking action, by using a simple setting, can be turned from one mode to another. This oven is particularly adept at baking products which require high level of energy and/or high baking temperature, shorter baking time for a reduced loss of water, different baking parameters along the baking process (radiation and convection), heating all the surfaces of the product or of the tin, very fine tuning of the baking parameters (temperatures, humidity, air speeds).
