We also recommend that your range is serviced regularly (at least every 12 months) and both of our service partners offer maintenance and service contracts to suit everyone.

What is HE-Plus ©?

Back in 1998 the government in Holland decided that the use of gas and the production of NOx gases needed to be reduced. To encourage people to use more efficient equipment the Government gave fantastic tax breaks and the gas supply companies not only loaned the money to purchase the new technology but contributed towards the cost. From a customer position everyone wanted the new technology. From a manufacturers position if you didn't have high efficiency pans you were out of business.

So the race was on. To achieve a high efficiency burner you need to develop heat exchangers these are a method of converting the heat from the combusted gas into the pan with the maximum efficiency. There are two methods of approach the first and easiest is to run the heat exchanger in the form of rods through the middle of the pan. This is probably the most efficient as far as heat to oil is concerned. The down side is you need to position the exchanger rods through the middle of the pan rendering the bottom third of the pan useless or calling it a very big cool zone. This cool zone still has to be filled with oil which, as all fryers know, breaks down. It also needs to be heated, which requires more gas than if you didn't have the excess oil.

The other method is to construct the heat exchangers around the pan. The benefit of this is the heat is spread more evenly around the pan thus it is less aggressive on the oil. You donât need so much oil in the pan so you need less gas to heat it. You are able to free fry or basket fry without the obstruction of rods in the middle of the pan. NOx are the poisonous fumes created by the combustion process and the lower the trace the more efficient and safer the burn.

Using the latest technology, Florigo have developed a frying range that exceeds the highest standards. Linked with Florigo's legendary build quality the HE-Plus Pan© pays for itself by combining high capacity with massive savings on gas consumption, receiving awards from the Dutch Gas Board (Gasunie) and also exceeding European emission standards. What is the difference between HE and Standard Pans?Of course you will pay more for investing in High Efficiency technology, but with in excess of 90% of energy utilised you have a pan that is able to recover to at a rate of 1 degree every 6 seconds, and that is a definite advantage (especially when basket frying) plus you have the huge savings on gas usage. Florigo high efficiency pans do not have heat exchangers in them which means all pans can be used for basket or free frying whichever you personally prefer, all our pans are made at our factory in Holland and although we offer standard sizes and depths these can be made larger or smaller to your specific own needs and requirements.

How much will it cost?

Its fair to say that investing in a Florigo range will cost more than some other ranges, however, it won't be as much as you may have thought, or been told - you are more than welcome to call the office anytime and get an idea of what a bespoke Florigo Custom built range would cost - remember that this is a made to measure range, built to suit your needs and requirements and I think you will be very surprised to discover just how affordable Florigo are.
