Heat recovery for bakeries
Our solutions are designed to optimise both cost-efficiency and environmental performance in energy-intensive processes – from small artisan bakeries to large-scale industrial bakeries.
Exodraft offers heat recovery solutions that are particularly well-suited for the bakery industry, where production generates large amounts of excess heat. By recovering heat from flue gas or baking ovens and converting it into hot water, bakeries can achieve significant energy savings, reducing costs while contributing to a more sustainable operation.

Why heat recovery is relevant for bakeries
Bakeries have a high and consistent energy demand – especially in the ovens, where large volumes of air are heated daily. Whether it’s tunnel ovens, deck ovens or rack ovens, substantial amounts of heat are released during the baking process and typically vented directly through the chimney.
At the same time, many bakeries are facing rising energy costs, stricter environmental regulations, and increased pressure to document sustainable initiatives. Here, heat recovery provides a tangible solution: by capturing and reusing waste heat, bakeries can significantly reduce energy consumption, improve their CO₂ balance, and meet the growing demands for green transition from both regulators and customers.
The recovered heat can be used for preheating process water, heating buildings, cleaning water, or even for absorption cooling during warm periods. The right solution transforms waste heat from an overlooked by-product into an active part of your energy optimisation strategy.

Get energised by contributing to a more sustainable future
Let us help you! – We custom solutions for recovering your waste heat, so you can optimize your energy efficiency for the benefit of both the environment and your business.
Can I recovery my waste heat?
You can recover up to 95% of waste heat from process air, steam, and flue gases. The surplus energy can be stored or used directly to optimize production processes.
Why is heat recovery important
There are increasing demands for us to take responsibility in the green transition. With the right system, you can reduce your carbon footprint and costs.
Will the investment benefit my business
Our solutions not only enhance your green profile but also improve your financial bottom line. Typically, the investment pays off in 2-3 years.

How bakeries effectively utilise waste heat
In the bakery sector, the potential for heat recovery is considerable. With Exodraft’s solutions, waste heat from ovens can be captured and reused as hot water in other parts of the production process – with great effect.
Typical applications in bakeries include:
- Heating of cleaning water
- Preheating of process water for steam generation
- Heating of office and staff facilities
- Absorption cooling before packaging
- Supplying energy to production processes
- Export to district heating networks, where possible
- Strengthening ESG profile and CO₂ documentation
