Oven and Bakery Cleaning using Industrial Vacuum Systems

Avoiding food contamination is the highest priority in food production

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

Industrial vacuums may vary in several ways to meet the specific needs of each industry. At Delfin, industrial vacuum orders can be customized to suit each facility’s requirements. We offer single and three-phase powered vacuums, heavy-duty industrial vacuums, and vacuums that may be attached to machinery for direct extraction, among many other options, making our solutions ideal for comprehensive bakery cleaning.

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, making it an essential tool for effective bakery cleaning. Between the vacuum’s individual makeup and the vacuum accessories that complement it, you’ll want to achieve depth in your material collection setup if you want to maintain a safe cleaning process, particularly in environments focused on bakery cleaning.

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
