Tailored industrial solutions for your egg-based products
Whether served as side dishes, like mini gratins, vegetable patties, omelets or as individual bites, savory egg-based products are appreciated by consumers for their convenience. However, these products require true expertise to produce on an industrial scale.
Delicate by nature, egg-based products often feature inclusions, such as meats, cheeses, and vegetables. They’re also made on various supports. This means these products need a highly controlled process to preserve their integrity, texture, and organoleptic qualities. Even the slightest variation can affect their structure or final appearance.
At the same time, manufacturers must navigate a constantly evolving market, where the diversification of recipes and formats demands continuous adaptation of baking supports. This dynamic requires flexible equipment capable of keeping pace with innovation without compromising productivity.
Pan-line solutions offer manufacturers a stable and flexible process, ensuring consistent, high-quality products while addressing key challenges in industrial performance and sustainability.
Product quality: precise baking and smooth handling
The industrial scale baking of egg-based products, such as spanish omelets or mini gratins, is an essential stage in the production process. It must be accurate and perfectly controlled to achieve the desired organoleptic characteristics, including:
- Homogeneous coagulation of the binding agent
- Thorough baking of inclusions
- Consistent coloration
- Uniform texture, even for complex recipes
Thanks to its compact, independent heating zones (<25 m²/269 ft²), the M-DAN oven provides precise baking curve adjustments. Each zone can combine three heat transfer modes (convection and/or radiation), with accurate control over heating intensity and hygrometry. Energy input from the top and bottom of the product is also handled independently to achieve the expected result.
Beyond baking, these delicate products require perfectly stable, shock-free handling. Pan-based conveying provides an effective solution. By keeping the product on the same pan from depositing to freezing, this system eliminates transfers between pieces of equipment, limits handling, and preserves product integrity. It also reduces vibrations and deformation risks associated with direct belt conveying.
When installed in proofers, coolers, or freezers, the M-UB vertical mechanization system ensures smooth transfer from the ascending stack to the descending stack through a shock-free rotational movement. This preserves product integrity throughout the process.
An integrated washer on the line provides controlled, systematic pan cleaning to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. MECATHERM equipment is also stainless steel, which is suitable for high-pressure cleaning with fully removable panels. This design facilitates daily sanitation and meets the highest hygiene and food safety requirements, perfect for manufacturers that need to meet the most demanding hygienic standards.
