Abstract: A once-through baking oven has a plurality of oven modules which together form a once-through baking space. A heat-exchange heating device for indirect heating of the once-through baking space has a heating medium outward-flow pipe arrangement, a heating medium return-flow pipe arrangement and at least one intermediate radiator pipe arrangement having a plurality of heat exchanger pipes The heating medium flows in two adjacent heat exchanger pipes in opposite flow directions to each other. In an alternative embodiment of the radiator pipe arrangement, it runs in a spiral or meander shape in such a way that the heating medium flows in two adjacent pipe sections in opposite flow directions to each other. This results in a once-through baking oven that can be operated efficiently and adapted to different throughput requirements.

Abstract: An endless conveyor belt for a conveyor baking oven has a conveyor run with a plurality of belt links configured in one piece, the belt links extending transversely to a conveying direction and being mounted between lateral guides. Seen in projection in a plane perpendicular to a conveying plane, each of the belt links has gas passage openings. These gas passage openings have a total opening surface area, which amounts to at least 30% of a total surface area of the projection of the belt link. The result is an endless conveyor belt, which allows a baking space of a conveyor baking oven equipped with an endless conveyor belt of this type to be heated more efficiently and flexibly.

Abstract: A pipe heat exchanger for a baking oven has a plurality of heat exchanger pipe sections configured to guide a heat carrier fluid, the heat exchanger pipe sections being arranged adjacent to each other in an arrangement plane. A distance between adjacent pipe sections is smaller than a pipe diameter and greater than 1% of the pipe diameter. The result is a pipe heat exchanger, which allows a baking space to be heated efficiently and variably.

Abstract: A dough piece mold is configured to receive at least one dough piece during a fermentation and baking process. The dough piece mold has at least one machine readable identification label with a ceramic-based carrier, containing identification data, which include mold type data and unambiguous individualization data for the respective dough piece mold. A dough processing installation can be used to perform a dough processing method using a plurality of such dough piece molds.

Abstract: A plant for the automatic production of baked goods using a dough strand has a kneading device to knead dough from prepared starting products. An extruder is used to extrude the dough to form the dough strand. A portioning device is used to divide the dough strand into dough strand portions of a predetermined weight. A post-preparation device is used to finish the baked goods from the dough strand portions. The post-preparation includes the supplying of the dough strand portions to associated receivers in at least one transporting mould, fermenting the dough strand portions in the transporting mould and baking the fermented dough strand portions. The result is a production plant with an increased throughput in the production of baked goods and simultaneously a plant outlay which is as low a possible.
