Joe DiFiore, owner and operator of Monreale Bakery in Hicksville, NY, asked himself this very question. He found his answer in Empire's Vapor Tube Deck Oven. By replacing their traditional revolving tray oven with an Empire LF Deck Oven, Joe saved 75% on his existing fuel bill.

“My energy usage is now one fourth what it was when I was using the old revolving oven", stated Joe. "The addition of the Empire Vapor Tube Deck Oven has really made my life easier. I rely on Empire Bakery Equipment for all of my equipment and smallwares purchases. Empire always provides me with the quality and service I need to keep my business running smoothly.”

The EMPIRE Difference

Empire's Ultimate-LF Deck Oven is a cement-lined, vapor tube oven. The secret to the LF's fuel efficiency is in its ability to retain tremendous amounts of heat. The burner chamber and firebox are made of oven brick, and the vapor tubes that distribute the heat are encased in poured cement walls and roof. Even when the burner shuts down, the oven continues to provide even, radiant heat to your bread -- just like a brick oven.

In addition, each deck's individual steam generator - located in the fire chamber - is capable of producing consistent steam for your entire production. Gas or oil fired, the LF Deck Oven is available in a wide range of 3 and 4 deck models from 4 to 70 pan capacities. Together, these features help the LF Deck Oven give you the quality and consistency of traditional brick oven baking with the efficiency and convenience that modern baking technology has to offer.

Joe's not the only one to experience the fuel savings the LF Deck Oven has to offer. Here's what some other baker's have to say:

“My fuel bill went from $4,800 a month to $1,200 a month and we get an even bake with perfect crusts, without burning the bottom.”

-Frank Cardinali, Cardinali Bakery,West Babylon,NY

 

“Fuel went from 450 gallons a week to 150. That 66% savings pays for the new oven and then some.Now we feel more secure. The transition was very easy.”

-Tommy and Laurence Addeo, Addeo Bakery, Bronx,NY

 

“I save at least 70% of what I was paying for fuel with my revolver. I was about to get a backup steam boiler to relieve our steam problems. The LF solved all our steam, fuel and space problems and the bread is better.”
-Joe Catania, Catania Bakery & Pastry, Queens,NY

 

“This oven pays for itself. Steam is great...it stays in the oven so my bakery is cleaner. We had a brick oven for 100 years and I wish I had switched years ago. Believe me, it’s fantastic.”
-Enzo Russo, Russo’s,Queens,NY

Your oven is the heart of your business. The Ultimate-LF Vapor Tube Deck Oven’s combination of efficiency and brick oven baking is the smart solution to rising fuel prices, allowing you to save money while retaining the quality and consistency of your bread!
