Continuous tunnel oven for panettone baking
Optimize your bakery production with a modular tunnel oven that integrates seamlessly into your line, offering precise control over temperature and humidity for a wide range of baked goods.

The THERMADOR Continuous Tunnel Oven from WP Industrial Bakery Technologies is engineered to provide precision baking for diverse bakery products, offering unparalleled flexibility through its modular construction. Utilizing indirect ZYKLOTHERM heating, the oven separates combustion gases, ensuring no contamination in the baking chamber. This system combines radiation, convection, and heat conduction, allowing precise control of temperature and humidity to meet individual recipe requirements.
Ideal for baking sourdough pan bread, traditional French baguettes, and other specialty items, the THERMADOR accommodates a broad range of baked goods output. Configurable from 10.5 to 60 meters, it supports continuous production with automated systems that adjust baking parameters in real-time. Its infrared SPECTRA technology accelerates baking, reducing energy consumption by up to 35% while maintaining product quality and consistency.
With conveyor widths from 2,000 to 4,000 mm and load capacities up to 90 kg/m², it integrates seamlessly into high-speed, automated bakery environments. The system is designed for low energy expenditure, supported by DUO fans and the QUATTRO system for effective thermal management. Compliance with DIN EN 1672-2 hygiene standards, along with easy maintenance features like removable cleaning doors, enhances operational uptime and product safety. The THERMADOR offers customizable configurations to match specific production needs, supported by user-friendly digital controls and remote monitoring capabilities.
