In commercial baking ovens, the use of steam has many advantages and in some cases is critical to the production of consistent quality product. Lately the reduction in production costs of steam ovens has seen a move towards domestic steam ovens and combi-steam ovens becoming ever more popular. Cooking with steam has many advantages not least in retaining the minerals and vitamins in the food. Taste is true to the product as the food is not immersed in water and steam transfers heat energy to food quicker and speeds up cooking time. Reheating using steam also retains the flavour and prevents f ..read more

It is a question we are asked frequently: How to make oxygen sensors have a long life? There are many things we can do, but also, more importantly, there are many chemicals and gases we can try to avoid to prevent contaminating your oxygen sensor and having to replace it sooner rather than later. Many oxygen sensors have cross sensitivity issues associated with them therefore it is important to know the root cause of the cross sensitivity in order to avoid environments that may pollute your zirconium dioxide oxygen sensor. There are specific gases and chemicals that have a negative influence ..read more

Things to Consider When Selecting Fluid Level Sensors An optical fluid level switch does not measure the liquid level, instead they detect the presence or absence of liquid.
