Note: Heat aluminum molds to release baked food products
Objective:
Heat aluminum cake molds to release baked food products
End Product:
Cake molds
Equipment:
Ambrell 45 kW, induction heating system, equipped with a remote heat station containing eight 1.0μF capacitors for a total of 8.0μF
An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application
Materials:
Aluminum molds 4.5 in (11.4 cm) diameter
Temperature:
302 °F (150 °C)
Frequency:
65 kHz
Testing:
A multi-turn, square pancake coil provides very efficient heating which reduces the cycle time and the conducted heat through the aluminum molds. This coil can be encapsulated in a Teflon/epoxy composite to make it easy to wipe clean. Frozen, pre-baked products are in the cake molds. The molds are heated as they travel under the induction heating coil to release the product.
Benefits:
-
Induction heating is safer than heating with a convection oven.
-
Grease from the molds causes a fire hazard and waste gases in the oven.
-
Quick, clean precision heat for fast cycle times
