Product Description

The Thermoglide2™ Toaster by Baker Perkins is a compact, energy-efficient industrial toaster designed for breakfast cereals and similar lightweight food products. Its fluidised-bed technology gently lifts and tumbles products to deliver even, consistent toasting while minimising product damage. The system also supports oil-free puffing of snack pellets.

With independently controlled temperature and airflow zones, integrated dust extraction, energy-efficient hot-air recirculation, and automated PLC/HMI controls, the Thermoglide2™ helps improve product consistency, reduce energy consumption, and simplify cleaning and maintenance.

The system is suitable for food-processing applications involving products such as cornflakes, expanded cereals, and crisped rice. A stainless steel cooling conveyor can cool processed products before coating or packaging.
