New: HIFFICIENCY ® baking and roasting accessories

DURAPEK ® and DURAQUARZ ® coatings from acs Coating Systems, absorb heat particularly quickly in the oven, distribute it well, and release it again quickly.

for this purpose and is patented. HIFFICIENCY ® perforated lye trays are available in all the usual baker’s sizes and with GN dimensions. Benefits: especially good baking behavior, no baking paper, increased efficiency.

Another special item is the patented HIFFICIENCY ® multibake tray. This is unperforated and has a convex geometry that allows escaping liquid to drain away quickly to the sides, where it is collected in a peripheral channel. The multibake tray is torsionally stiff, and the company says it does not distort in the oven. As a result, the baked products are crisper, ready sooner and have a smooth base. From pretzels to pizzas – the results produced in a circulating air oven are more like those from a stone oven. The multibake tray can also be given a lye-resistant finish. It is usable on both sides for everything that is baked, grilled or braised in an oven. Available sizes: ENBM, 1/1 GN and ½ GN. Benefits: excellent baking and roasting behavior, no baking paper, increased efficiency.

H ifficiency ® is from the English words “high” and “e fficiency”, i.e. these baking and cooking accessories are highly efficient. The reason can be explained quickly: the alloys with particularly high thermal conductivity used as the metal supports, and DURAPEK ® and DURAQUARZ ® coatings, absorb heat particularly quickly in the oven, distribute it well, and release it again quickly.

The coatings are designed so there is no need for baking paper that would adversely affect heat transfer. Moreover, baking paper becomes fully saturated with escaping liquid, which can lead to mushy results or lengthened baking times.

HIFFICIENCY ® products are always coated underneath as well, firstly to accelerate heat uptake and secondly to prevent abrasive wear of the aluminum.

According to Dr. Christoph Stecher, Managing Director of acs Coating Systems GmbH, Wilhelmshaven, Germany, this results in baked products being ready approx. 10% faster, in addition to which the oven temperature can often be reduced by approx. 10°C. No baking paper is needed. Thus altogether this yields a production efficiency increase of more than 10%, which quickly repays the slightly higher procurement price.

HIFFICIENCY ® perforated lye trays, which are fully coated with a 70 µm thickness of DURAPEK ® , are available for lye applications. In this process, the holes by which the trays are suspended during coating are tightly sealed with stainless steel rivets. The riveting technique was developed specifically

DURAPEK ® coating has undergone further improvement and now withstands approx. 300,000 scrub cycles in the wear test. That’s about ten times as many as for good triple PTFE coatings. It’s also suitable for all sweet products. Anyone who doesn’t want any polymers in their oven can be supplied with the ceramic DURAQUARZ ® coating. DURAPEK ® and DURAQUARZ ® contain no solvents and no PFOA, and are oven-safe without outgassing, and up to the highest temperatures without any limitations. HIFFICIENCY ® accessories have been developed and are manufactured by asc Coating Systems in Wilhelmshaven/Germany. +++
