Description

The new publication will enable a small team to build high quality Direct Gas Fired ovens. The Baker Pacific team of five engineers have manufactured a range of ovens for biscuits, crackers, cookies and cake with local contractors in China, India and Indonesia. Our experience, technical information and drawings are now available for companies who wish to build Direct Gas Fired biscuit ovens.

Our book describes the complete oven building process with photos, assembly drawings and parts lists, together with descriptions of the work in 15 stages.

In addition Baker Pacific can supply a complete set of manufacturing drawings together with all detail technical information and support.

This will allow small teams in biscuit bakeries and contract engineering companies to build ovens locally. The ovens can be built in a low cost environment with minimum shipping cost and requirement for hard currency.

Key features

• Description of each stage of building and installing the oven with photos
• All main assembly/layout drawings
• All parts lists
• Key component specifications and suppliers
• Detail oven specifications

Readership

Senior management staff and engineers in contract engineering companies, biscuit manufacturers and companies supplying production and baking equipment in the food industry world – wide.

Iain Davidson

Iain graduated from the School of Industrial Design (Engineering) at Royal College of Art in London in 1965 and joined Baker
Perkins Ltd. He was Industrial Design Engineer, working in the Technical Department on the design of new biscuit and bakery processing machines until 1975, gaining a thorough technical knowledge of the machines and processes.

In 1975, Iain was appointed Market Development Manager at Baker Perkins, involved in developing the Baker Perkins forward planning for new business, product development and acquisitions. In 1979 Iain became International Sales Manager with responsibility for the business in Asia and Africa.

In 1990 Iain was appointed Regional Manager Asia Pacific for Baker Perkins and re-located to Indonesia and later in 1997 to China. His appointments included Managing Director of Baker Perkins (Hong Kong) Ltd. and Director of Baker Perkins Japan KK.

Iain established a successful manufacturing facility for biscuit ovens in Dalian, China in 1990 for Baker Perkins and subsequently continued a manufacturing capability for Baker Pacific Ltd. in China, India and Indonesia.

Baker Pacific companies

Iain established PT Baker Pacific Mandiri in Indonesia in 2000. As the business outside Indonesia grew, Baker Pacific Ltd was established in Hong Kong in 2004 and is now our principal operating company, providing process technology and machinery for the biscuit, chocolate and candy industries.
