ePAN® Bread Pan Is World's Most Energy Efficient Bread Pan
The ePAN® bread pan provides the most significant improvements to the bread pan in over fifty years… and it is the strongest, most durable, most energy efficient bread pan available in the world.
Seamless pan construction for improved sanitation and strength
• Seamless pans eliminate folding crevices and improve overall product quality, reduce or eliminate the use of oil, and dramatically improve sanitation
• Unique box channel design of the pans eliminates the need for a steel wire in the rim of the pans (patent pending)
Corrugated design for better handling and increased strength
• Vertical corrugations aid de-panning and reduce coating wear
• Vertical corrugations release air and gas within the pan and reduce or eliminate the need for UTI holes
• Vertical corrugation design in conjunction with a new manufacturing process prevents thinning and warping of material and creates an extremely durable, lightweight pan
Weldless rim span design increases strength
• Traditional welded rim spans have been replaced by formed, high-strength aluminized spans that are interlocked to each pan
• These high strength aluminized spans eliminate the need for welding, increase the overall strength of the pan set and permanently join the pans together (patent pending)
Stronger pan strapping with anti-shingling design
• Square strapping eliminates shingling of pans on conveyors
• Seamless pans interlock to the strap to create a very strong, unitized set (patent pending)
