OverviewFranz Haas SWAKT-Eco automatic wafer baking ovens are designed for fully automatic industrial production of flat and hollow wafers. The ovens integrate a PLC-adjustable heating system and burner positioning that enable in-production tuning and reduce gas consumption and noxious emissions.
Key benefits- In-production heating adjustment: Heating parameters are adjustable via PLC to optimise heat distribution during operation, ensuring consistent weight and moisture across wafer sheets.
- Reduced downtime: Heating is tuned electronically without mechanical cool-down cycles. Burners placed above baking plates minimise contamination and cleaning requirements.
- Lower energy and emissions: Design allows full insulation of the baking zone and improved burner efficiency — gas consumption can be reduced by up to 30% and harmful emissions by up to 90% (depending on configuration).
Highlight featuresSimplified controlThe PLC-based control enables precise heating adjustments on the fly, adapting settings to product, throughput or line-specific conditions.
Flexibility in designModular construction with modules of eight baking plates. Capacity is scalable (typical configuration: 32 to 128 plates), facilitating transport, installation and later extensions.
Burner placement and insulationBurners are located above the baking plates and the baking zone can be fully insulated to optimise heat utilisation and reduce contamination of burners by baking residues.
