E-Bake G2 from GEA Bakery sets a new standard in industrial baking, delivering sustainable, high-performance results that meet the evolving needs of modern food production
In an era where sustainability, precision, and efficiency are no longer optional, but imperative, GEA Bakery is leading the charge with the launch of its next-generation electric tunnel oven – the E-Bake G2. With more than 100 years of combined experience from GEA Imaforni and GEA Comas in the bakery sector, and a bold step toward electrification, the E-Bake G2 is not just a new machine – it’s a new benchmark and a bold leap toward electrification, the E-Bake G2 is not merely a new machine – it’s a new standard.
Designed with cutting-edge airflow technology, modular architecture, and a vision rooted in environmental responsibility, the E-Bake G2 is engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality baked goods while significantly reducing energy consumption, installation time, and carbon emissions. This oven isn’t just a machine; it’s a strategic enabler for bakeries seeking long-term competitiveness in a rapidly evolving food production landscape.
Driving the future of sustainable baking
As awareness of climate change intensifies, the bakery industry faces mounting pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Traditional ovens powered by fossil fuels remain one of the key contributors to CO₂ emissions in baked goods production. Recognising this, GEA Group has embedded sustainability at the core of its corporate strategy. Through its “Mission 2030” initiative, GEA aims to accelerate sustainable and profitable growth by delivering future-ready, resource-efficient technologies that support decarbonisation across the food processing value chain.
To help clients meet their sustainability targets, GEA Bakery offers a comprehensive portfolio of electrification solutions. For plants with sufficient electrical infrastructure, fully electric ovens like the E-Bake G2 provide a direct path to cleaner operations. At the same time, GEA’s Dual-Fuel ovens offer flexible configurations that can run on gas, electricity, or a combination of both. These adaptive systems empower producers to dynamically switch energy sources or adjust the balance between them in response to fluctuating costs and supply conditions — a future-proof investment for a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
The E-Bake G2 is the latest and most advanced expression of this vision: not merely a new machine, but a new industry standard that combines cutting-edge technology with real-world sustainability impact.
A new benchmark in industrial baking
GEA’s E-Bake G2 represents a defining moment in the shift from traditional gas-fired ovens to fully electric baking systems. Unlike conventional models, the E-Bake G2 is built exclusively for electric operation, rejecting gas integration entirely. This clean-sheet design reflects a deliberate, future-focused engineering philosophy aimed at aligning with global climate goals and evolving food manufacturing priorities.
What sets the E-Bake G2 apart is its impressive energy performance: by combining radiant and convective heat options with a newly optimised baking chamber, the system offers up to 40% energy savings compared to previous gas-powered ovens. Certified with GEA’s Add Better label – a mark of proven resource efficiency – the oven empowers customers to make confident, data-driven sustainability choices.
Designed for a wide range of products
At its core, the E-Bake G2 is as flexible as it is powerful. It is engineered to deliver exceptional results across a wide range of products – from soft- and hard-dough cookies to various types of crackers – while maintaining precise, repeatable baking conditions. This level of performance is achieved through advanced thermal zoning, highly efficient micro-convection airflow systems, and precise control overheat transfer.
Each baking module operates with individualised control, enabling the oven to adapt thermal parameters to the unique requirements of different product types. This modular approach not only enhances production consistency but also maximises energy use per baking profile, ensuring no watt is wasted.
Modular architecture: quick installation time
A standout feature of the E-Bake G2 is its modular design, which brings unmatched benefits in terms of installation speed, maintenance, and adaptability. Each oven module comes preassembled with an integrated electric cabinet mounted on top, allowing for plug-and-play configuration and reducing on-site electrical work. For a reference 90-meter-long line with seven baking zones, installation time can be slashed by up to 70%.
Maintenance is also greatly simplified: access doors span the entire baking chamber, and removable bottom plates provide direct entry for cleaning and servicing. The oven can be configured with up to three doors per module, significantly enhancing accessibility and reducing downtime.
Thermal precision: Micro-convection and heat control
At the heart of the E-Bake G2’s performance lies its innovative airflow and thermal design. The baking chamber has been reengineered to reduce internal volume and minimise heat loss, positioning heating elements closer to the product surface to enhance thermal efficiency. In addition, micro-convection technology ensures that heat is evenly distributed, with localised airflows reducing temperature gradients across the baking surface.
This level of precision means manufacturers can achieve highly consistent results – batch after batch – with tight control over critical-to-quality parameters, such as texture, color, and moisture content. Whether producing delicate soft cookies or crisp crackers, the E-Bake G2 delivers reliable, repeatable outcomes that meet the most stringent product specifications.
