Cake and sponge baking sets an aerated batter into a soft crumb while keeping much of its moisture, which makes this baking rather than drying. Sponges for Swiss rolls, layer cakes and cupcakes rely on gentle, even heat so air bubbles expand and set before the crust forms.
To dry cakes & sponges, GEM recommends the Tunnel & Belt Oven. Industrial Cooler is used when the feed or site calls for it. Every project starts with a pilot trial on your own sample.
A tunnel oven with gentle, independently controlled zones lets batters rise and set uniformly across the belt. Cooling follows to stabilise the crumb before cutting, filling or packing.

Even baking reduces collapsed, domed or cracked product and improves yield per batch of batter. Consistent crumb moisture supports the shelf life targets that packaged cake brands rely on for distribution.
Plants searching for a cake baking oven or comparing a sponge cake tunnel oven usually need three answers: which dryer fits, what it costs to run, and how fast it pays back. For Cakes & Sponges, we start from your throughput, current moisture and the target, trial a sample on the Tunnel & Belt Oven, and return a sized recommendation with a budget quotation for your food operation.
We trial your material in our pilot facility before any equipment decision, then size the dryer from real data.
Describe it in the form, or message an engineer directly.
