Business project description

Inventis-Solutions based in Karlsruhe – Germany, is an engineering office formed by a team of highly motivated and innovation-oriented technicians. Our studio has a decennial experience on microwave systems for the revetment of food products. Its innovative solutions allow its creations to have exceptional performance both in terms of tempering times and in terms of thermal diffusion on the products. After 3 years of intense planning and countless drafts, we have finally completed the new project 4i Grill pizzapanini

The entrepreneurial idea is to create and offer international markets a super-fast technology that allows you to regenerate pizza - sandwiches or anything else in a few seconds, bringing them as if they had just come out of the oven, crispy outside; soft, and tasty at the heart: No more snacks that are too pressed or not crunchy enough.

With the 4I-Impingement-Technologie we were able to fully realize these goals of ours. The 4i-Impingement-Technologie (developed by us for this project) is a combination of 4 different heating elements with which the Snacks are subjected reducing the roasting and cooking times up to 20-30 times. Four heat sources in a single closed cooking chamber: • Two infrared ceramic contact plates • Infrared lamps • Hot air convection • Microwaves.

THE PROJECT

Innovation

• Combination of 4 heating technologies: Contact – Infrared – Microwave – Airflow
• External dimensions: 410 × 365 × 350 mm (dimensions can be adjusted according to customer specifications)
• Non-stick surfaces
• Upper and lower ribbed plates: 190 × 140 mm, aluminum with non-stick coating
• Bottom plate: automatically adaptable to sandwich thickness from 0.8 to 8.0 cm
• Automatic lid sealing
• Automatic lid opening at the end of the heating cycle
• Programmable electronic control
• 8–12 selectable programs via display, modifiable by the user
• Temperature: up to 300°C
• 2 temperature probes for independent control of plate temperature
• Cooling: guaranteed by correct airflow
• Automatic lid opening and closing
• Automatic opening and closing system
• Automatic system deactivation at the end of the cycle
• Safety system: the equipment restarts only when the lid is closed
• Power: 3500 W
• Power supply: 230 V single-phase
• External dimensions (L × H × D): 410 × 365 × 350 mm

The parameters that can be set are:

• Top plate temperature

• Bottom plate temperature

• Duration time of the cycle

• Duration time of the microwave

• Duration of infrared lamps

Performance :

• Weight of the stuffed sandwich 350 gr

• Starting temperature of the sandwich from the fridge of 4°C or -18°C

• Internal temperature of the product: 60°C

• Heating time from 4°C: in less than 60 seconds

• Warm-up time from -18°C: in less than 120 seconds

Unique in the world of its kind

Pizzapanini has also been designed to be completely inserted as a module inside an automatic hot snacks dispenser. Guaranteed, in a very short time, crunchy, hot snacks with a typical ribbing typical of the perfect grill.

Display

An easy to use control panel allows the user to program the different temperatures of the grill plates and the desired cooking times. A display shows the set cooking times and temperatures, and a built-in timer sounds and flashes when the cooking time is up

The intelligence of the IoT.

Thanks to the Internet of Things, 4i Grill pizzapanini can: also be managed remotely, even in the selection of operating cycles based on the recipe of each sandwich.

The microwave programmes

• Modern touch screen control. The newly developed touchscreen control is very easy to use.

• Programs are selected via pictograms and the cooking process can start

• Microwave programs can be selected from the beginning or towards the end

• Microwave as an alternative also programmable in phases

• Wider temperature range of 50°C-280°C

• Display with history display with microwave indicator

• Phased cooking programs: each of the four heat sources can be switched on and off during the cooking process.

• Display with additional STOP function 8 pre-installed programs (editable):

• Ceramic plates temperature 220-280°C

• Each individual plate is thermostatically adjustable up to 280°C and beyond
