the armourglaze process

At IBCO we’ve optimized the process for cleaning, refurbishing and recoating baking pans through servicing some of the South Africa’s biggest and most demanding plant bakeries. Our exclusive processes and pan coatings can prolong pan life, reduce oil consumption and restore optimal bakery performance.

STRAIGHTENING

Hydraulic presses and custom-made dies flatten dents and warping, restoring pans to their original shape where possible. Welding of broken pans/welds is also possible to extend pan lifespan.

CLEANING

RINSING

DRYING

COATING

Pans are restored to operational cleanliness.

Pans are coated with our armourglaze coating and cured in high-temperature tunnel ovens. *IBCOAT non-stick coating also available on used pans.

Pans are dried in industrial ovens.

A custom cleaning solution removes the existing coating as well as existing oil greases and carbon from pans.

SHIPPING

Pans are collected and delivered back to the bakery as a turn key solution by IBCO.
