The Story
Bakepride is a small bakery in Durban operating seven days a week with four industrial ovens aged between five and ten years. As part of a phased oven replacement programme, they commissioned their first Tombake 120 Energy Saving Oven and ran a like-for-like electricity comparison against their existing ovens.
Highlights
- Comparative electricity analysis vs existing 5–10 year-old ovens.
- User-friendly touchscreen operating panel.
- Features and layout improved production workflow.
- Reliable performance in a low-margin operating environment.

Based on our experience to date, we are very satisfied with the performance, efficiency, and usability of the Tombake 120 Energy saving Oven and would confidently recommend it to other bakeries seeking to reduce operating costs while maintaining reliable production.
