  • Precision RTD sensors and pressure transmitters for WP Bakery Control automation systems
  • Customized spare parts overhaul packages matched to specific machine nameplate records

Engineering heritage and operational principles of MATADOR deck ovens

Werner & Pfleiderer / WP Bakery Group was established in 1879 by Hermann Werner and Paul Pfleiderer in Cannstatt near Stuttgart.

Over more than 145 years of continuous engineering leadership, the enterprise pioneered cornerstone breakthroughs in food thermal processing, including the industrial implementation of closed-loop high-pressure Perkins steam pipes.

Modern manufacturing operations in Dinkelsbuehl produce flagship MATADOR multi-deck baking ovens renowned for exceptional temperature stability.

The baking chamber architecture combines refractory stone hearth plates with external combustion chambers and circulating steam channels.

This hybrid thermodynamic approach prevents thermal drop when cold dough loads enter the deck, sustaining gentle radiant energy transfer that forms an elastic crumb structure with an even bottom crust.

Precision electric heating zoning and efficiency in MATADOR MDE systems

The MATADOR MDE electric multi-deck baking oven by Werner & Pfleiderer / WP Bakery Group provides bakeries with pinpoint temperature zoning across separate upper and lower heating groups.

Flat ceramic heating resistors mounted inside the roof and deck base generate radiant heat flux without turbulent convection drafts that could desiccate delicate dough skins.

Digital PID temperature controllers modulate power delivery to individual heating zones with sub-degree accuracy.

Integrated automated standby algorithms lower power demand during operational pauses, enabling commercial baking facilities to curb baseline energy intake while maintaining rapid thermal recovery for on-demand baking schedules.

Aerodynamic convection and energy recovery in ROTOTHERM GREEN rack ovens

ROTOTHERM GREEN industrial rack ovens developed by Werner & Pfleiderer / WP Bakery Group incorporate aerodynamic airflow engineering that cuts fuel intake by 30 percent compared to predecessor RE 1020 installations.

Rotating turntables carry mobile baking racks smoothly through balanced horizontal hot-air curtains delivered from precision adjustable wall nozzles.

The thermal core utilizes a counterflow tubular heat exchanger matched with a heavy-mass steam generator cascade.

When water injects over preheated cast iron spheres, dense dry steam instantly blankets the rotating dough pieces, promoting full volume expansion and uniform glossy surface development on rolls and baguettes.

Continuous industrial thermal processing with THERMADOR tunnel ovens

For large-scale industrial bread and biscuit bakeries, Werner & Pfleiderer / WP Bakery Group builds THERMADOR continuous tunnel baking lines measuring up to 100 meters in baking length.

Equipped with high-tensile woven wire mesh belts or thick granite stone links, these ovens operate under multi-zone temperature regimes customized to individual product recipes.

The THERMADOR CYCLO configuration features dynamic forced-circulation loops that optimize convective heat transfer through the central baking stages.

Automated pneumatic tensioning mechanisms and optoelectronic alignment sensors continually monitor conveyor belt tracking, eliminating lateral drifting risks under continuous high-temperature duty.

Modular robotic automation with OBER PRO II oven loading carriages

To eliminate manual handling fatigue and guarantee precise deck timing, Werner & Pfleiderer / WP Bakery Group developed the OBER PRO II automated oven loading system.

The modular carriage travels along overhead and floor rails, serving up to eight multi-deck MATADOR baking ovens positioned in parallel production lines.

Controlled via a central industrial touchscreen terminal, the robotic loader synchronizes with proofer release schedules and deck baking clocks.

Telescopic setter belts enter baking chambers smoothly, transferring delicate proofed dough pieces onto baking stones without shock or crumb compaction, followed by mechanized discharge upon bake completion.

Preventive maintenance strategy and component supply under WP ProductionCare

The WP ProductionCare program by Werner & Pfleiderer / WP Bakery Group provides proactive engineering support aimed at eliminating unplanned stoppages across commercial bakery plants.

Standard maintenance packages include food-grade high-temperature silicone door seals, water solenoid valves, PT100 temperature sensors, and burner nozzles.

Maintaining precise replacement parts matched to factory machine nameplate serial records preserves factory thermal performance and safety parameters.

Structured preventive servicing schedules reduce overall lifecycle operating costs, ensuring continuous high-volume bakery throughput without process interruptions.
