GEA E-Bake G2 electric tunnel oven

The GEA E-Bake G2 electric industrial baking oven is designed to deliver enhanced energy efficiency and improved process control. Developed to meet the evolving demands of sustainable food manufacturing, the oven represents a step forward in the transition away from gas-based systems.

The second-generation oven is engineered to produce cookies (both soft and hard dough) and crackers, offering a compact footprint, advanced airflow design and modular flexibility. Its design is optimised exclusively for electric operation — no gas integration — enabling CO₂ emission reductions while achieving repeatable baking products.

The modular architecture of the oven enables plug-and-play installation and allows each baking zone to be individually controlled. This enables manufacturers to tailor baking parameters precisely to product requirements, improving both energy usage and baking consistency.

The baking chamber has been redesigned with a reduced internal volume, which minimises heat loss and positions heating elements closer to the product, improving thermal efficiency. The inclusion of micro-convection technology, featuring localised air flow systems, is designed to ensure uniform heat distribution and reduce temperature gradients across the baking surface.

Thermal bridges — pathways through which heat can escape — have been minimised. Additionally, a new configuration of electric resistances supports targeted heat generation, contributing to a potential claimed energy consumption reduction of up to 40% compared to the previous generation gas-fired model.

The E-Bake G2 is available in multiple heat transfer zone configurations, including: RE (Radiant Electric); CVE (ConVective Electric); ConRad (Combined Radiant + Air Turbulence); RE + CVE (a hybrid, flexible configuration); and Hybrid models (custom combinations of the above).
