Weight loss
One of the crucial aspects in processing food products is weight loss. The use of the AfogrillPat.pend. reduces weight losses significantly. This is mainly related to the speed with which the desired grill effect is obtained. Depending on the product, differences up to 10% to 20% are obtained, compared to the conventional techniques.
Energy consumption
The AfogrillPat.pend.. leads to spectacular economies as far as energy consumption is concerned. Depending on the product and the volume, significant economies can be realised. Research indicates that replacing electricity as an energy source by gas, can result to economies up to –30%.
Sensory qualities
Sensory research amongst consumers has indicated that the AfogrillPat.pend. does not influence the sensory qualities of the product. For various product categories, no differences are detected in terms of flavour, colour, texture and scent between the use of the AfogrillPat.pend. and the use of conventional techniques.
Nutritional value
The use of the AfogrillPat.pend. results in fewer nutritional losses than the conventional techniques (vitamin B1 and vitamin A). The nutritional damage of proteins is also strongly restricted whilst using the AfogrillPat.pend..
Maintenance
The concept of the machine is inspired by limiting maintenance costs. The number of moving parts is kept to a minimum, resulting in a reduced need of spare parts.
Speed
A mere few seconds after starting up, the AfogrillPat.pend. is operational. As a result, waiting times in the production process are reduced to nil. Compared to conventional systems, a much higher capacity is developed in the AfogrillPat.pend., hence strongly reducing grill times, which increases productivity.
Safety
Research into the safety of the AfogrillPat.pend. indicates that by installing an ideal premix, emissions (Co and NOx) are reduced to a minimum. The flashback protection and constancy ensure additional safety when the machine is handled. The electronic ionisation safety guards the gas combustion process constantly. Intensive research resulted in the development of a perfectly isolated machine, increaing operating safety. The AfogrillPat.pend. has been approved by several accredited inspectiion organisations (including USDA).
Floor space
Because of the limited dimensions of our AfogrillPat.pend., less floor space is required in the production hall. It results in a superior capacity of the AfogrillPat.pend. as compared to the conventional techniques.
Multifunctionality
The AfogrillPat.pend. offers the possibility to grill a multiple set of products by using one and the same machine. Through easily entering parameters such as belt height, belt speed, frequency of the ventilator and burner power, one machine can easily handle several products. It concerns both product size and product type.
