Sustainability is a big initiative at RBS, and our efforts specifically around Ovens make RBS not only the industry leader in oven technology, but also the industry leader in sustainable baking solutions.

RBS offers sustainable ovens that reduce energy, eliminate greenhouse gases and are easy to operate. We will continue to focus on improving our oven designs in each of these categories as we move forward. 

One of our key goals is to reduce harmful emissions and conserve energy.  Our equipment runs for many years, so it is important for us to provide solutions today to meet the guidelines of the future.

We see a hydrogen blend and electric power as alternative fuel solutions.  We have tested and implemented these solutions to see the results. While hydrogen is a clean energy as an end user solution, electric oven power is likely to be the best long-term solution. 

Beyond the energy source of the ovens, our newest oven designs reduce costs, conserve energy, and minimize emissions.  Better oven insulation minimizes the conductive heat paths from the interior of the oven to the exterior.  Lighter weight oven belting also helps conserve energy.  We also offer items like heat reclaim systems that can assist by re-heating the oven make-up air.

Electric Convection and Emithermic Ovens 

To fully eliminate harmful emissions, RBS offers an electric penthouse for our convection style and Emithermic ovens.  On existing RBS ovens, it is easy to exchange the current gas penthouse with an electric version.  Customers may visit the RBS Science & Innovation Center to test our electric convection ovens.

Emithermic XE Ovens: The Future of Cracker Baking 

DGF cracker ovens are costly, difficult to maintain and often deliver an uneven bake to the product. These problems come from the large number of ribbon burners down the entire length of the oven (up to 300 feet long) that must be maintained and adjusted to deliver consistent heat.

The new Emithermic XE Oven builds uses Thermatec high radiant panels, convection baking and 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 energy 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.
