With energy costs on the rise don’t ignore your oven's energy consumption. Old worn out ovens and poor maintenance can leave your oven consuming 25% more fuel than necessary. Modern process ovens are a complicated piece of industrial equipment. Combustion burners, exhaust fans and blowers all require maintenance and routine parameter adjustments to operate properly. Oven performance is always on a slow decline that is often not perceived by the operators, but visible on the operating cost and bottom line. Insulated oven enclosures degrade over time and decrease energy efficiency. Check to see if you oven exterior is excessively hot, greater than 140° F, if so your oven may be suffering from insulation failure, poor design or imbalance pressure. All of these items can affect your ovens performance.
