Our Classic Model We have been manufacturing MIWE ideal multi-rack ovens since 1954. At that time, it was one of the first hot air circulation ovens on the international market. It is not that long ago that these first generation models, at first coal-heated and later oil-heated, were part and parcel of every bakery. Over the years, we have continued to improve on this time-tested oven and today it is one of the leading multi-rack ovens on the market. Materials MIWE uses only top quality materials in the manufacture of its multi-racks. The entire outer casing the front, sides and back as well as the loading doors are made of corrosion-proof stainless steel. Electric shock and temperature- resistant glass doors are also available at no extra charge. Workmanship Quality workmanship is just as important to us as the materials we use. Our corrosion-proof stainless steel baking chambers unlike the spotwelded baking chambers are fully welded so that no steam can escape. Our heating elements are welded via a computer-programmed laser welding machine – another example of our precision workmanship. Nomen est omen Everyone talks about flexibility. We at MIWE, are no exception. Whether it is a matter of larger baking surfaces, automatic loading, another type of energy being more practical or simply a more efficient baking capacity being called for, you can be sure that MIWE is continually testing innovative means of baking. After all, our oven didn't come by its name purely by accident. Just like the old stone ovens, the MIWE ideal bakes with gentle heat. A belt of hot air circulates around the outside of the baking chamber and heating gases circulate through the heating elements which are separate from the baking chamber. This time-tested technique ensures a gentle baking atmosphere. The even transport of heat guarantees quality bakery goods. As in the days of the steam oven, MIWE bakes on ceramic hearth slabs or your choice of chamotte or granite hearth slabs. The German Agricultural Association permits bread baked in this manner to be called stone-baked. Pretzels taste especially good when they are stone-baked, and we offer special stainless steel hearth slabs for this purpose at no additional cost. There is always room for the MIWE ideal in even the smallest of bakeries. Our slimmest model, the MIWE ideal R-Oven, is a mere 60 cm wide. By the way, we can deliver the MIWE ideal disassembled so that it fits through an 85 cm wide door. Our specialists assemble the multi-racks and put them in baking operation on your premises. The MIWE ideal doesn't waste a centimeter of space. It is compactly-built and can be built-in on three sides (the 180 cm wide MIWE ideal G is the only exception). The MIWE ideal can be conveniently installed in a row of ovens without having to leave any additional space at the back or sides. The multi-rack is mounted on a sturdy base so that it can be easily transported completely assembled into the bakery or when desired, moved to another spot without being disassembled. Just one more example of our flexibility. Heating The complete line of MIWE ideal multideck ovens can be heated by gas, oil or electricity and the ovens can be converted from one form of heating to another upon request. Energy-saving The MIWE ideal is an energy-saving oven in more ways than one. In the first place, the multi-deck's exhaust gas limits are considerably lower than the limits set by the German DIN 8722 specifications for exhaust gases. Moreover, heat is transferred economically from the central boiler through well-insulated steel tubing. This large-capacity steel tubing allows optimal circulation of the heating fluid: 91% operating efficiency. The fact that baking temperatures increase at a rate of 3 to 4 per minute means the baking chambers are quickly heated to the desired temperature and return to the desired temperature after loading almost immediately. Equipment A mobile proofing unit right next to the oven is ideal especially when the heat or the steam comes either direct from the oven installation or from its own automatic temperature and steam regulator. MIWE suggests the proofing units MIWE MGT with the MIWE Digital Control System and the MIWE modul (see product info). The MIWE athlet puts an end to the backbreaking work of loading and unloading an oven by doing it fully automatically. The entire oven surface can be loaded and unloaded in just one simple step. Detachable conveyor belts and delivery belts make work even more efficient (see product info MIWE athlet). Easy-to-maneuver loading units on rollers and an easy-to-operate door handle also simplify the task of baking. Moreover, we've designed a special spring hinge to alleviate the problem of keeping the door open and thus preventing steam from escaping and the unnecessary loss of energy. A MIWE specialty: the MIWE ideal can be equipped with up to three drawer racks. These ovens are extremely sturdy and their cantilevered construction without protruding supports allows them to be rolled out to the last millimeter so that the entire surface can be efficiently used. One hand does the job. When the oven door is opened, the stainless steel steam exhaust ventilation system removes the steam so efficiently that there is never the feeling of discomfort. Safety MIWE ovens meet the German VDI, VDE and DIN safety regulation standards as well as all other current norms. The gas-heated models also meet the necessary construction test certificate specifications set by the EU Certification Board. The Steam Apparatus Saturated steam that enables the dough to expand evenly and a steam apparatus that produces the correct steam quantity quickly and is suited for continuous operation are the ideal prerequisites for ensuring even steamintensive baking batch for batch in a short amount of time. Each baking chamber of the MIWE ideal has a large-dimension, highcapacity steam apparatus which produces saturated wet steam. (Only in the case of the 60 cm wide multi-deck oven are two baking chambers supplied by one steam apparatus.) A steam lever and a pressure control valve make precision programming possible. When necessary, a proofing unit can also be supplied with steam through an additional built-in steam apparatus. A pressure control valve guarantees the safe removal of the exhaust steam and ensures the maintenance of a uniform pressure level. Operation MIWE had the baker in mind when it designed the MIWE ideal. A good example is the convenient loading height of the uppermost baking chamber. Or the height of the sturdy corrosion-proof stainless steel workspace onto which bread and bakery goods can be conveniently loaded. A further example is the smooth-running discharging belts that make back-breaking loading and unloading a thing of the past. Maintenance Maintenance has been made easy because everything from the boiler to the steam injection piping to the main driving switch, lighting and programming and safety control are easily accessible from the front. The heating slabs are removed for cleaning purposes. Expert regular maintenance of our ovens and other technical installations ensures longevity. Service Our baking oven specialists can be contacted in an emergency and can be with you as quick as possible. Programming Three different types of programming analog, digital or computer for the MIWE ideal. Three functional types of programming to suit your needs. MIWE S Computer Programming has a clear, easy-to-read monitor. A good example is the 99 baking programs that can be individually programmed with up to 8 baking phases. Baking has been simplified through the MIWE S which offers fully-automatic programming including nightti- me settings and a statistics program with an interface to other computer systems (see product info). The MIWE Sis our digital control system whose numerous features make baking a joy. The MIWE S control panel has an easy-care protective covering with a timer that indicates the remaining baking period, a thermostat that indicates the actual temperature as well as a nighttime setting, seven-day setting and automatic steam quantity setting. Upon request we will equip the MIWE S with an steam ventilation regulator and steam quantity setting for the proofing unit. The reliable MIWE S analog programming is a time-tested and fullyfunctional, inexpensive alternative to the MIWE ideal. Oven Models and Types and Ovens made to Specification The MIWE ideal Dual-Circuit oven is a versatile multi-deck oven that should be used when a variety of baking goods need to be baked at different temperatures or when an oven isn't always used to full capacity. As is the case with our conventional MIWE ideal, the centrally-produced heat flows evenly through all the baking chambers. The dual-circuit type MIWE ideal R offers the additional feature of being able to heat two to three chambers in the upper or lower oven installation at different temperatures. While the lower oven installation generally consists of two baking chambers, the MIWE ideal G upper oven installation comes equipped with two or three baking chambers and the MIWE ideal R comes with three or four baking chambers. The two-stage boiler in the MIWE ideal dual-circuit oven uses considerably less gas or oil when one of the oven installations has been shut down. The two baking chamber installations are well-insulated to prevent a loss of heat.
