Bakery Tunnel Repairs
RECENT WORK
I am highly qualified to clean tunnel ovens and turbo zones. I inspect for bubbles, wear spots, cuts on the side from the mesh belt. I repair the oven bed with a quarter inch mild steel plate. For some products, especially when baking with tins, the use of air circulation from turbo fans in combination with radiant heat is suitable. In such cases the oven is equipped with turbo zones. In a mesh belt oven, the hot air is forced through the belt and in a solid steel belt oven the hot air is blown horizontally along the zone. Turbo zones allows for the baking time to be reduced, lower temperatures used and more equal colouring. With the adjustable fan speed the optimal turbo effect can be reached.

I am extremely skilled at repairing expansion joints in ductwork. An expansion joint or movement joint is an assembly designed to hold parts together while safely absorbing temperature-induced expansion and contraction of building materials, and vibration, or to allow movement due to ground settlement or seismic activity.
