OverviewThe Meincke Turbu 4.0 is an indirect-fired convection tunnel oven designed for industrial baking of biscuits, cookies, cakes, pizzas, pies and similar products. It separates combustion gases from baking air via a heat exchanger to maintain consistent baking temperature and hygiene.
Key benefits- Optimized heat transfer for uniform baking through a double-damper airflow control system.
- Modular 2 m prefabricated units enabling flexible line configuration and straightforward extensions.
- High repeatability of set-ups and recipe transfer based on long-term oven development experience.
Highlight featuresHeating principle: Burner heats a combustion chamber; heat is transferred to a separate heat-exchanger room so combustion gases do not contact baking air. Heated air is circulated to the baking chamber to provide controlled convection heat.
Ventilation system: An adjustable damper and fan system distributes hot air to top and bottom ducts. Oven air is continuously exhausted, mixed with fresh air and returned to the heat exchanger; baking fumes are evacuated via a flue.
Using different types of heat: Primary heat transfer is by convection; conductive heat from the hot baking band and thermal radiation from plenums also contribute. Burner temperature, top/bottom air distribution and humidity profile are adjustable to adapt heat transfer to product requirements.
Applications- Industrial production of biscuits and cookies
- Cakes and sponge products
- Pizzas and pies
- Crackers and similar bakery products
