Browning of Ready Meals

Given the flexible and energy efficient nature of infrared heating, the applications for its uses are almost endless.

Custom built infrared ovens can be used for the food industry and in particular the browning of ready meals.

The technology is perfect to give the manufacturer the desired effect of browning the surface of the food without cooking the food itself. This can be key for companies involved in the production of ready meals as it gives the final appearance a much better look that is more appealing to the end user.

Electric Infrared is ideal within the oven or conveyor system as it instantly heats up and can be controlled easily to ensure that no excess energy is wasted in the production process. We have worked with multiple manufacturers for the production of Lasagnes, Cottage pies and many other items.

Products:

IR Twin Tubes – SW

IR Twin Tubes – MW

Chocolate Manufacturing

Infrared heat technology is commonly used in the manufacturing of chocolate and can be key during the processing stage.

Regulating the temperature is extremely important, especially when creating filled chocolate products. The quickest, most energy efficient and controllable way of doing this is by using electric Infrared heating technology.

As Infrared heating only heats the substrate rather than the air itself it allows pure heat penetration which is more hygienic and preferable to hot air blowers.

A heating process is required specifically when you need to join and fuse two chocolate parts together, e.g., a chocolate egg. It is typically poured into a mould and then joined at a later stage but during this process it is imperative that the mould is pre-heated to reduce the risk of weakening the chocolate.

Products used:

IR SW Twin Tube lamps

IR FRMW Twin Tube lamps

Food Grilling

Infrared heating technology is such a versatile heat source and is ideal for a few applications in the food processing industry including food grilling.

The instant heat output coupled with the controllability makes it the most energy efficient and effective way to grill certain foods in an industrial capacity.

We can work with yourselves using our R&D laboratory to test and successfully determine the best system for your food grilling needs.

Disinfection

Ensuring you have a clean and safe environment while producing food is incredibly key, the use of Ultraviolet and Infrared technology can help this.

UV-C lamps and systems can help to eliminate any bacteria in the air as well as from the surface of the food itself, using our UV-C Tunnels to destroy any harmful bacteria and microorganisms present on the food.

Baking

Baking of various foods including biscuits, bread and lots of others can be carried out much more efficiently using electric Infrared heating technology.

IR radiation penetrates the food more effectively than alternative sources, coupled with the fact no excess energy is wasted heating the air, means you can save money on your energy and running costs as well as increasing your production yield as it is a much quicker process.
