How can the non-stick properties of your silicone moulds impact on your performance?
In the demanding world of food production, every detail counts to guarantee the efficiency and quality of your products and the safety of your teams. One aspect that is often underestimated, yet fundamental, is the non-stick capacity of your moulds. From smooth demoulding to risk reduction, find out how this property can transform your performance.
The negative impacts of difficult demoulding
If your silicone moulds don’t allow for smooth demoulding, you risk wasting precious time and generating frustration among your employees. In fact, the repercussions on your productivity can be significant: laborious manual demoulding slows down the pace of your production.
This can have a direct impact on the quality and consistency of your products. In fact, poor non-stick quality can lead to visual defects such as scratches or deformation when the parts are extracted. In an industrial context where quality standards are high, these imperfections can have serious consequences, especially if they are recurrent. So it’s vital to choose your moulds carefully and focus on quality to avoid problems later on in your production process.
Safety in the workplace
One aspect not to be overlooked is the safety of your employees. The lack of non-stick properties can increase the risk of injury during demoulding operations. The repetitive movements and efforts required to extract the finished products can lead to numerous muscular injuries for your teams. By opting for high-performance moulds, you are contributing to a safer working environment, thereby reducing the risk of work-related accidents.
Facilitate the automated demoulding process
In the case of an automated demoulding system, a perfectly non-stick mould is essential for optimal operation. Demoulding processes constantly rely on the fluidity and precision of movements. If parts adhere too strongly to the moulds, this can lead to malfunctions and production stoppages.
What’s more, Maé moulds are made from high-quality silicone and are designed to withstand industrial production rates and extreme temperatures. Conversely, choosing inferior quality silicone moulds will mean having to replace them frequently, which represents a significant additional cost in the long term. More importantly, the poor quality of your mould can lead to high levels of food migration, i.e. the transfer of chemical substances from your mould to your foodstuffs, which can be extremely dangerous for the health of your consumers.
Invest in professional silicone moulds for long-lasting performance
As you will have realised, the non-stick properties of your moulds are much more than just a technical detail. It is a key factor in the success of your entire production process. By choosing quality moulds with excellent release properties, you can :
-
- Optimise your production time
- Guarantee consistent product quality (pastries, cakes, logs, entremets, etc.)
- Improve the safety of your teams
- And so : Increase your profitability
