Industrial electric medium infrared oven for browning omelets in plastic trays in the USA

Chaudelec Systèmes Industriels – CSI is a leading provider of dairy product browning equipment, with more than 10 lines currently in operation in France, including the browning of croque-monsieur sandwiches and other cheese melts on the surface of various products such as deli dishes. Chaudelec Systèmes Industriels has also already demonstrated the feasibility of browning food in plastic packaging, for example, on lines from DANONE and YOPLAIT.

In 2021, CSI completed its largest food browning installation in Pennsylvania, USA, with a 2.5-meter-wide and 3-meter-long tunnel. With a medium infrared power of 350kW, the IR oven can brown 12,000 omelet portions per hour. The special airflow of the CSI electric infrared browning oven ensures that omelets are browned without damaging the plastic packaging. The packaging is immediately sealed after infrared treatment.

Line shutdowns result in an immediate removal of the infrared heaters to avoid damaging the appearance of the products and their packaging. The removal system is also very useful for cleaning and maintaining the infrared tunnel.

The electrical and mechanical equipment used is, of course, compliant with UL/CSA standards.
