Oven and Bakery Cleaning using Industrial Vacuum Systems

Avoiding food contamination is the highest priority in food production

In bakeries and pastry factories, production processes can involve combustible particles and materials that post health hazards to workers and consumers.. As the primary tool of use in baking and other food industries, industrial ovens must be meticulously cleaned to guarantee high performance and quality levels and to maintain compliance with safety regulations. The best way to perform cleaning between each production cycle and prevent food contamination is industrial vacuuming.

Industrial vacuums may vary in several ways to adhere to the needs of the industry for which they’re used. At Delfin, industrial vacuum orders may be customized for their coinciding facility. We offer single and three-phase powered vacuums, heavy-duty industrial vacuums, vacuums that may be attached to machinery for direct extraction, and much, much more.

The importance of cleaning the oven before cooking

To regularly clean the oven means to guarantee a high level of hygiene, improved efficiency, to extend the lifetime of the oven and to avoid the risk of contamination.

Contaminants prevented by proper cleaning may include:

✓ Bacteria
✓ Parasites
✓ Chemical contaminations
✓ Toxins
✓ Allergens

Most managers and business owners don’t need to be informed about the potential hygiene dangers related to their food operations. But what many may not understand is the extent to which a powerful oven cleaning vacuum can assist them in the housekeeping process. Between the vacuum’s individual makeup and the vacuum accessories that complement it, you’ll want to achieve depth in your material collection set up if you want to maintain a safe cleaning process.

The risks of cleaning an industrial oven

he cleaning of an industrial oven must be quick and without any risk for the workers. Most of the time, cleaning an industrial oven is risky because of two reasons:

✓ High temperature of the oven and of the material to vacuum (i.e. hot bread crumbs, which can reach 200°C)
✓ The depth of the oven, which makes it difficult and impossible to clean without using the appropriate equipment

But with the right industrial vacuum, filter, and attachments, you and your workers may clean safely and efficiently. Wondering how it works? Our short video linked below covers just that.

Cleaning the bakery: one way to quality!

Regular cleaning with dedicated tools is the key to avoiding food contamination. Cleaning tools between each production cycle and general cleaning at the end of the day will help you maximize the quality of your product. A run-of-the-mill vacuum that leaves behind bits of food or material does more than compromise the safety and hygiene of your operation. Using anything but an industrial vacuum may compromise the integrity of the company’s product by leaving behind—and potentially intermingling—sustenance that may not belong in the baking process
