European Process Plant (EPP) has extended its portfolio after becoming the exclusive distributor of Senius tunnel ovens in the UK and Ireland.

Based in Denmark, Senius’ offering includes indirect and direct impingement ovens and direct gas fired (DGF) ovens as well as hybrid DGF and impingement ovens which it said all feature low energy consumption.

Its tunnel ovens have been installed in bakeries all over the world to suit the creation of a wide variety of products, including cakes, cookies, crackers, granola, pies, pizza, profiteroles, and more.

Senius has its own test centre available to prospective customers interested to try out potential lines and equipment before committing to purchase. Its modular oven sections can be combined and optimised to meet specific process requirements, EPP noted.

“At EPP, we have a wealth of experience with tunnel ovens, having supplied them for more than 50 years, and if they were all combined, delivered more than 5km of tunnel oven,” said Steve Merritt, EPP managing director. “Having worked with Senius and its associated companies previously, we are delighted to be working with them again.

“Now spearheaded by a passionate and ambitious new management team, Senius offers an outstanding range of uniform baking solutions which will allow us to re-engage in this market. The flexibility they offer in terms of energy sources is also a real asset, allowing bakers to ensure energy security and save costs by switching to the most affordable source during the year.”

The tunnel oven manufacturer adds to EPP’s line-up of suppliers including Koenig, VMI Linxis Group, and MIWE. The latter recently unveiled a new storage system, called MIWE Smartfresh, which it claimed can store par-baked goods for up to 10 days.
