ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION & ALTERNATIVE FUEL OPTIONS - AN OPTION TO HELP YOU REDUCE YOUR ENERGY BILLS

With the announcement of the updated energy support scheme from the Government suggesting this will provide a discount for energy users with particularly high levels of energy use, smaller businesses have not been given the security that they need in respect of their future.

As a result, we are now finding that alternative fuel sources are now becoming one of the first questions we are asked about when discussing ovens with customers, in the bid to reduce monthly fees.

The use of wood pellets is always an option that we discuss with customers, providing a cost efficient and sustainable fuel source. With the pellets being made from compressed sawdust, a by-product from forestry operations, this fuel source is a much more sustainable option, especially as this releases the same amount of carbon dioxide as the normal decomposition cycle. The impact on the environment is therefore equal to zero, unlike fossil fuels, such as gas or electric, which are currently used to produce most of the electricity used by conventional ovens.

The wood pellets are compatible with the Polin oven range, including Rack and Steam Tube ovens. Check out some key benefits below.

Polin Rack Ovens - Great for confectionery, pastry and high output

  • Double air flow within the chamber providing an even and consistent bake
  • Low heat emission glass doors, reducing heat loss, providing a 4% saving
  • High throughput of production
  • Great heat recovery keeping a consistent temperature when door is opened

Steam Tube Ovens - Amazing for Sourdough and other artisan bread

  • Distributes heat evenly by transporting heat around the deck in steam tubes
  • Creates a balanced and even bake
  • Available in a 3, 4 or 5 deck models
  • Baking capacities up to 25²m for smaller bakeries and 33²m for larger industrial sizes

The Polin philosophy is that the heat is as much part of the recipe in the end product as any other ingredient, and with the use of wood pellets with either a Rack or Steam Tube oven, no compromise will be needed to reduce your bills!
