Baking a pizza can be tricky, as all the ingredients need to cook properly. To achieve this, it is important to ensure that the oven temperature is high enough to bake the pizza dough to a crisp and get the toppings cooked to perfection.
Especially since each type of pizza requires different cooking times and temperatures. Thanks to a Pid temperature controller, it is possible to master the art of pizza baking and to offer pizza ovens capable of satisfying the needs of professionals, but also the requirements of consumers.
Pizza, invented in Italy in the 16th century, is enchanting with its tantalising smell of melted cheese and tomato. This staple of Italian food and culture has spread throughout the world, with each country adding new ingredients.
Today, pizza remains one of the most popular dishes for millions of people around the world.
With consumers becoming increasingly demanding, pizzas must meet high quality standards to continue to meet their expectations.
These include the selection of quality ingredients and a perfect cooking method for the dough to ensure that it is crisp and the toppings remain tasty.
Therefore, to meet consumer expectations, pizza oven manufacturers need to equip their ovens with efficient and reliable measuring and control instruments.
Pid temperature controllers can help them to guarantee their customers a perfectly homogeneous and controlled cooking in their professional pizza ovens.
Unlike traditional ovens, pizza ovens have a special heating technique that allows them to cook the dough and the pizza topping evenly.
In fact, a pizza oven consists of two essential elements: the over bottom and the dome.
The over bottom covers the inside of the oven. When this surface is heated, it distributes the absorbed heat evenly, so that the bottom of the pizza is cooked.
The dome is the upper part of the oven, shaped like a dome. Its function is to maintain the heat in order to cook the top of the pizza evenly.
To ensure that all the ingredients are cooked to perfection, it is important to ensure that the temperature of the oven over bottom is high enough to crisp up the pizza dough. The dome of the oven should not be overheated to prevent the toppings from being overcooked.
A second difficulty is that the cooking time and temperature of the pizza varies according to the type of pizza being prepared.
Thin crust pizzas require a lower temperature and cooking time, while thicker crust pizzas need to be cooked at a higher temperature and for longer.
In addition, the cooking time and temperature of the pizza will also depend on the toppings that have been added: whether it is meat, vegetables, fish or cheese, each ingredient has different cooking times and temperatures to take into account when preparing the pizza.
Pizza oven manufacturers must be able to offer equipment that allows pizza makers to :
To meet their customers' expectations, professional pizza oven manufacturers must equip themselves with high-performance measurement and control equipment capable of providing all these functions.
Fuji Electric has expertise and specialised measurement and control instruments for the industrial environment. Its accurate and efficient temperature controllers and ergonomic man-machine interfaces can enable pizza oven manufacturers to ensure optimal use of their ovens, as well as a high level of quality of the pizzas baked inside.
By fitting a PUMA/B modular multi-loop controller to their professional pizza ovens, manufacturers can allow pizza makers to set the ideal temperature for baking their pizzas and be assured that the controller will automatically maintain it. In other words, the controller will automatically turn on or off the burners or heaters in the oven to maintain the desired temperature, ensuring that the pizzas are cooked to perfection throughout the service.
In addition, the installation of this controller allows multiple zones to be controlled and regulated at the same time. The cook will be able to regulate the temperature of both the bottom and the top simultaneously, accurately and efficiently.
To improve accuracy, response speed and reliability, the control system also includes built-in solid-state relays.
Fuji Electric's temperature control solution is equipped with a user-friendly and powerful human-machine interface. The interface offers a quick overview of the temperature and remaining cooking time on the large touch screen. In addition, it allows the pizza maker to program end-of-cooking alarms, delayed starts and customised recipes with different temperatures and heating times to suit their needs.
By equipping their pizza ovens with this equipment, manufacturers ensure that their professional equipment is complete and efficient, thus perfectly meeting their customers' needs.
