Baking trays Our baking trays are made following a process that allows obtaining a high quality product which is also suitable for use in bakeries and confectionaries. Our products have technical solutions capable of guaranteeing convenience and practicability, optimising the work process. We provide high quality finishing and the material is perforated, cut, folded and welded using specialised equipment and expert technique. Corners, edges and folds are reduced to the minimum to avoid risks, knocks and crusts. The surfaces at contact with food products are designed for easy cleaning and sterilisation. Total control of the production cycle and equipment update allows us to provide: baking trays of all sizes, length and width, with customised thicknesses; perforation upon request (diameter and pitch); baking trays with 2,3 or 4 turned down edges; turned edge with height starting from 1 mm and angle comprised between 30 and 120 ; grooved baking trays with the number of grooves provided upon request and a minimum 20/22 mm diameter. The aluminium we use is classified as: annealed and flattened H 111 PERALUMAN 30 UNI 5754. The perforation standard is obtained with a 2 mm diameter and 3.5 mm pitch. According to us, such dimensions achieve an optimal cooking and antiadhesive ratio. The heat still circulates freely through the holes and the dough, even when pressed, has a low sticking degree. The baking pan is less subjected to getting dirty overcoming the formation of moulds and reducing the surface fat layer. The latter partially obstructs the holes reducing the cooking quality, partially detaching sticking against the product ruining its aspect and deteriorating its taste. 22 P agina

We believe surface treatment using Teflon, Teflon -treatment, to be the most efficient and convenient choice today. Teflon -treatment offers greater mechanical resistance with respect to silicone or elastomer treatments. This implies longer lifespan, greater duration over time and greater number of use cycles, alongside providing constant non-stick capacities. Care and Maintenance Don ts: Do not clean using sharp or abrasive equipment. Do not clean under high pressure (greater than 5 bar) and do not use alkaline or aggressive solutions or solutions not suitable for handling food products. Do not heat empty. Do not use wet or moist. Dos: Move baking trays with due care. When moving baking trays, be careful not to drop or bang them. Do not stack. Clean strictly using water (in dishwashers at 50 C max), with neutral PH agents, using soft rags. Wash under pressure below 5 bars. Dry baking trays before using again. Store the products clean and in a suitable place, dry and free of dust. Materials and objects intended for handling food products Baking trays and other equivalent equipment are suitable for handling food products as provided for by: 1935/2004 European Regulation Presidential decree N 777 23/08/1982 Legislative decree N 108 25/01/1992 Ministerial decree 21/03/1973 and subsequent amendments EEC 89/109; EEC 02/72 and subsequent amendments. 24 P agina
Surface Treatment Treatment of baking trays has always been a key factor in the baking and pastry cooking industry. Usually oil or vegetable fat is applied to the baking pan in order to prevent the product from sticking during cooking. Alternatively, three different types of non-stick coating are used: transparent silicone, coloured elastomers and Teflon. Fluoropolymer-based coatings such as Teflon are doubtlessly the most efficient and long-lasting. Such coatings offer a series of important advantages: non-stick, easy removal of the product; no use of fats or non-stick oils ; lesser need to wash; materials last longer: protection of metal substrates against corrosion caused by salts, acids and other substances present in oven-cooked products; quicker and easier operations when cooking and removing the product from the baking pan; reduction of wastes of the baked product; enhancement of the work environment. We believe surface treatment using Teflon, Teflon -treatment, to be the most efficient and convenient choice today. Teflon -treatment offers greater mechanical resistance with respect to silicone or elastomer treatments. This implies longer lifespan, greater duration over time and greater number of use cycles, alongside providing constant non-stick capacities. Use of Teflon has been less common due to its initial cost, but were all factors to be taken into account, use of such coating would be the obvious choice. According to information gathered from various users, the initial investment is already recovered after 7/10 months of use. Pagina 25
Comparison of costs Natural Teflon 0 6 months 1 year 1,5 years 2 years Lower costs: Using Teflon -treated baking trays implies not applying oil thereon. This allows saving oil or fat as well as time and energy required to apply such products. Removal of the product from the baking pan is easier and faster. Maintenance Teflon -treated baking trays are easier to maintain: cleaning may be performed by simply using hot water (dishwasher) or soft rags. Quality A greasy and dark layer forms on the baking trays treated with oil and fat as it is progressively used over time. This partially obstructs the holes of the baking trays reducing the baking quality, partially detaching sticking on the product ruining the aspect of the latter and deteriorating the taste of the product in question. Cooking quality Removal of the product from the baking pan is easy and quick. Teflon -treated baking trays are cleaned after longer use intervals and requires less time as well as effort. Quality of the work environment Use of Teflon -treated baking trays reduces the amount of oil and fats dispersed in the work environment regarding the air as well as accumulation and deposit surfaces. Inhalation and skin contact with the residue burnt fats reduces in a considerable manner. 26 P agina
Teflon Fluoropolimero PTFE Teflon The Teflon PTFE Fluoropolymer is a DuPont product having a multilayer thermoplastic fluorinated copolymer-based resin having an outstanding resistance to high temperatures, chemical reactions corrosion and stress-cracking. Due to the distinctive extension thermal cycles and the inherent thermoplastic characteristics as well as chemical inertia, the Teflon PTFE Fluoropolymer residual porosity is very low. Mechanical resistance, antifriction as well as non-stick characteristics allow a wide range of applications in various technical and industrial processes. Surface treatment using Teflon has become essential in the food production industry. After being subjected to a Teflon treatment, baguette or bread baking trays, cases, pizza or breadstick trays, pastry moulds or biscuit trays offer several advantages with respect to non-treatment or use of silicone, reducing problems regarding sticking and cleaning, making removal of the product from the moulds or trays easier and quicker. Teflon is a high molecular weight polymer, composed of Fluoride and Carbon atoms, an inert polymer, suitable for use in the food industry and handling food products. It does not react with other substances including both those used for baking and those present in the dough. High resistance against chemical agents and solvents: PTFE is resistant almost all chemical compounds, except for molten alkaline metals, gaseous fluoride and some fluorinated compounds. PTFE is entirely insoluble in water and any organic solvent up to 300 C. High dielectric characteristics: PTFE is a good insulator and it has excellent dielectric characteristics. PTFE practically maintains its characteristics in a wide range of environmental, temperature and frequency conditions. It has extremely low constant dielectric characteristics values and dissipation factor; the values remain unvaried up to 300 C. High thermal resistance: PTFE is one of the most thermally stable plastic materials. There are no appreciable decompositions at 260 C, so that PTFE, at this temperature, still possesses most part of its properties. Appreciable decomposition begins at over 400 C. It has optimal fire resistance qualities, thus it does not propagate the flame. Low friction coefficient: The static friction coefficient (of the first detachment) and the dynamic one are equal thus there is no seizure and stick-slip action. When increasing the load, the friction coefficient decreases until reaching a stable value. The friction coefficient increases with the speed while it remains constant at temperature variations. High non-stick properties: The molecular configuration of PTFE confers to its surfaces high non-stick properties. There is no adhesive capable of sticking against the PTFE; only the special treatment, referred to as cementation, is capable of making the surfaces bondable. Pagina 27
Advantages of Teflon -coating are: easy to clean; optimal resistance to temperature; good resistance to several washing cycles; reduces flaw and waste percentages in cooked products; considerably lower cleaning and machine stops. Special attention to the application system because it confers high quality to the Teflon -treated product. The type of coating we use allows a greater number of cooking cycles with respect to that of the systems used by our competitors hence reducing usage costs. The thickness of the coating is measured in microns and the number is a company resource which is a result of technique and experience. The base colour is green, but if pigmented it can be made in other colours such as black or brown upon request. Baking trays & coating We offer a complete service: baking pan & coating. As a matter of fact, our production organisation verifies the state of used baking trays and establishes the types of maintenance interventions adapted to renovate them. We repair baking trays and use a special technology for removing old coatings preserving the physical integrity of the baking pan, without any deformation, no chemical attack or thermal stress. A second Teflon treatment completes the reconditioning of the baking pan. 28 P agina
