"How
Much Money Can I Save?"
This is the question
that you, the commercial baker, should be asking right now. By using BCS
coatings, you WILL save substantial amounts of money that will translate
directly to the bottom line.
The chart below, using
some relatively simple assumptions, shows how much "hard costs"
are saved by using SBS & Teflon® as opposed to silicone glaze
and/or oil.

Considering purchase price and ongoing costs, pans coated with SBS
SL non-stick materials are significantly less expensive on a per cycle
basis. In addition: |
*
No grease or oil is needed
* Safer working environment without slipperly floors
* Less pan handling, hence less pan damage and repair costs
* More consistent product quality, no black specks from carbonized
oil |
*
Oiling stations and their maintenance are eliminated
* Less fire risks, no carbonized oil in the ovens
* Longer pan lives due to less frequent stripoff and recoating
* Longer product shelf life without the release oil or grease |
