PRISM Oven

Flexible, consistent baking of biscuits, cookies and crackers

The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is a proven single-pass baking platform designed with flexibility for balanced and consistent baking. Capitalizing on the experience gained from hundreds of successful oven installations worldwide, the PRISM OVEN offers Direct Gas Fired (DGF) Zones, Emithermic (Radiant / Convection) Zones, Emithermic XE, Convection and Hybrid (DGF/ Convection) Zones. Convection and Emithermic Zones are available with all electric heat or with a gas penthouse.

Features & Specifications

The Prism Oven system offers different zones to perfectly bake your product. Constructed and controlled as separate modules, the oven allows precise control of product quality.

Direct Gas Fired (DGF) Zone: The DGF Zone is used as a product development zone. The low-pressure direct gas fired burners are positioned in the baking chamber above and below the product in this section. Operators can independently control the top and bottom temperature of the zone and set up a unique burner profile.

Emithermic XE Zone: The new Emithermic XE Oven Zone is the latest in cracker baking technology. The oven builds on our original Emithermic oven design that utilizes Thermatec high radiant panels and convection baking, with the addition of electric radiant elements, eliminating the need for the gas burners. The Thermatec panels and electric heaters deliver a more balanced heat to the product, and impart the high radiant emissivity required to develop the flavor and texture of the crackers. For greater flexibility and control, the Emithermic XE Oven includes a humidity-controlled product zone. Additionally, maintenance is simplified, as electric oven components are easily replaced, eliminating costly downtime replacing, cleaning and tuning gas burners.

Convection Zone: This module is used as a setting, coloring, or drying zone. Combustion and make-up air is heated in the penthouse and circulated into the baking chamber. The air is distributed to the product above and below the conveyor. Control of the exhaust, air temperature and circulation velocity allow the operator to control the product moisture removal rate for maximum quality assurance.

Emithermic Zone (Radiant/Convection): This zone offers both radiant and convective heat transfer and a humidity-controlled product zone which provides greater flexibility and control when baking wirecut and rotary moulded cookies. Automatic controls easily change the type of heat, temperature and air velocity. This module can be configured as pure radiation or a mix of radiation and convection depending on product characteristics. The Emithermic Zone uses Thermatec high radiant panels for more efficient radiant heat transfer.

Hybrid Ovens: Hybrid ovens offer different zone configuration for flexibility and product variety. Hybrid ovens utilizes both direct gas fired zones to provide product development and cooking functions, and convection zones to provide efficiently controlled moisture removal and balanced coloring.
