Whether electric or gas-powered, infrared browning tunnels are as diverse and specific as the applications they are used for. The process can be applied for creams browning, prepared dishes browning, cheese (pizzas, croque-monsieur, etc.) melting, sandwich bread crusting, meats braising or roasting, sugars and pastries caramelizing or glazing...
Chaudelec Systèmes Industriels (CSI) offers infrared grilling tunnels that enhance the visual appeal of food products, giving them a unique touch. Infrared browning tunnels trigger the Maillard reaction without contact.
They are therefore little affected by working conditions and, thanks to the rapid response of their emitters, can correct the convective element inherent in any thermal tunnel. Energy is delivered to the right location in appropriate doses and when needed. The energy generated by infrared emitters enables significant productivity and quality gains. They also prevent unnecessary heating of the entire product and are therefore an ideal solution for browning or roasting cold products before freezing or packaging. Finally, the Maillard reaction also addresses contamination issues before packaging, giving the browning treatment a dual benefit.
CSI has more than twenty industrial infrared tunnels running for browning, roasting, and other treatments using the Maillard reaction in France, Spain, USA.
