Developed to help support decarbonisation within the bakery industry, Spooner’s new hybrid / dual-fuel oven is able to operate on gas, electric and both synchronously. The standard gas version is also ‘electric ready’, so it can be retrofitted in the future, allowing customers to flex their operation to energy pricing and renewable power availability.
Delivering the same temperature, velocity and humidity as a standard gas oven, Spooner’s new hybrid solution delivers identical baking conditions to ensure product quality and consistency whilst making a significant contribution to carbon footprint reduction.
