Market trends

Hygiene & Easy Sanification

Hygiene and sanitisation are increasingly seen as added value aspects in the design of new products in the catering and professional washing sectors.

Elettrification

Using electric appliances for cooking is emerging as the most cost-effective, sustainable and safe choice.

Thermal efficiency

In-depth product know-how and the ability to adapt effectively to specific customer requirements are essential to guaranteeing maximum thermal efficiency.

Sustainability through re-use

Recent European directives urge the catering industry to limit the use of disposable products by encouraging the use of professional automatic dishwashing.

Customisable products are designed to ensure optimal performance of professional appliances. We at Zoppas Industries supply electric and radiant flat cooking heating elements that ensure compactness and excellent thermal conductivity in equipment such as pasta cookers, fryers, griddles, grills, braisers.

Heating solutions for Distribution

Maintaining the taste and texture of food as if it were freshly cooked or baked? We possess several types of tubular shielded or self-regulating cartridge heating elements for food warming cabinets and trolleys, bain-marie cooking, hot tables, heating plates that do not require the development of specific geometries and technologies.

Heating solutions for Ice-cream machines

At Zoppas Industries we create reliable and smart solutions that facilitate product preparation and guarantee consistent excellent results in ice-cream production. We use heating elements made of aluminium alloy or flexible laminate which achieve the ideal temperatures required in holding and pasteurisation processes.

Washing

We support the professional washing industry with design skills and high technical expertise, providing innovative proposals with superior performance, warranty and durability standards.

Heating solutions for Professional dishwashers

Large projects but not enough space? We provide innovative space-saving solutions taking all requirements into account: increasingly compact boilers and heating elements, as well as materials with a high degree of corrosion resistance. We supply the complete heating system or the single heating element for conveyor, hood dishwashers and glasswashers that perform the entire washing and drying cycle within a short time, meeting regulatory standards.

Laundry heating solutions

We share our goals and results with our customers, offering the best technology and complete heating solution – boiler with heating element – for professional washing machines, ironers and steam cleaning systems. Particularly advantageous in this context is the use of high pressure, which, if properly managed, results in saturated, powerful and always constant steam.
