Bakers around the world have discovered the benefits of the ONE series ovens. The round oven chamber gives a smooth airflow that is contributing to an even bake. It’s difficult to find a more flexible oven, we bake everything from macarons to German rye bread in them. They are designed to provide lowest possible TCO, in other words industry leading energy efficiency, lowest maintenance cost and best possible durability. The ultra-strong 3-glass door maximizes heat insulation, visibility and slides open around the cylinder shaped oven structure. There is no door that occupies floor space, and there are no burns on the baker’s arms. The rounded design, fewer heat bridges and superior insulation gives a smaller footprint in the bakery and make the ONE series ovens consume less energy than traditional ovens. We are thinking climate-smart. Come see us at FHA-HoReCa 2020 The Bakery Challenge, Hall 8. Revent International, Stand #8K3-01. Hengel Industrie, Stand #8D4-01.
