AUTOMATION FOR ARTISAN BAKERIES

Baking is one of the oldest crafts in the world. Bakers are proud of their products, know the best ingredients and stick to their own recipes – and luckily, this is not about to change. What has changed however is the technology they use. Many artisan bakeries are now equipped with deck and trolley ovens from Heuft. Fully automated production lines do away with back-breaking physical work, leaving bakers to explore new ingredients, recipes and baking techniques. Modern bakers use touch panels and computer based controls to achieve optimum production results, marrying their professional trade skills and automation where it makes sense. The result: premium artisan quality produced with the efficiency of modern technology.

The HEUFT VATO AUTOMATIC DECK OVEN – tailor-made to suit your production requirements

Our VATO deck ovens are as equally efficient as large-scale oven systems. Equipped with up to twelve decks – also available as pull-out or, drawplates decks – and a baking area of up to 108 m2, this model has a very small footprint given its large baking space. As it can be fitted with decks of various size and deck group control, the VATO is one of Heuft‘s most versatile ovens. In the VATO, both small and large batches can be produced with unrivalled efficiency. The options available in the baking programs make sure that your products are of the artisan stone oven quality your customers demand. Day after day, shift after shift. Loaves, bread rolls and cakes – everything is baked to perfection, as the VATO is known for its even heat distribution. Operated with thermal oil, the models of the VATO deck oven range are available in many different configurations. They can be controlled and loaded from both sides, for instance with a CONCORD fabric conveyor loader or an industrial robot. The VATO ovens can be easily integrated into any production line as they are designed according to the key principle behind Heuft technology: expansion of production without compromising product quality.

Advanced technology for automated loading

High-speed processing even in continuous operating mode – by combining a VATO oven with a loading robot. The robot packs the trays and pans in the most efficient way onto the extended deck plates of the deck oven, working with great precision and at a high speed. The decks are then automatically retracted into the oven with minimum temperature loss. In the oven, the goods are baked to perfection – batch after batch. Robot technology from Heuft does away with heavy physical work and makes baking process control as easy as possible.
