We’ve perfected the process for cleaning and recoating baking pans through almost 50 years serving some of the world’s largest and most demanding bakeries. Our exclusive methodology and coatings prolong pan life and restore optimal performance. In addition to recoating, pan straightening can increase pan life by more than 50 percent. In today’s highly automated bakeries, precision and consistency are essential. Straightening pans can decrease work stoppages due to pan handling errors and prevent damage to equipment, pans, or coatings.

Reduce Costs – Use bakeware and equipment longer, and reduce or eliminate secondary release agents (oil, silicone paper). Taking into account parchment paper costs only, your bakery can see a return on investment in less than four months.

Decrease Cleaning Time – Enjoy minimal maintenance and cleaning.

Increase Efficiency – Experience fewer work stoppages and handling errors with straightened pans.

Increase Productivity – Increase yield and reduce waste from de-panning issues.

Improve Product Quality – Ensure product consistency through improved dough flow and release.

Increase Safety and Cleanliness – Create a safer environment with reduced fire hazards due to elimination of oils and grease.

Enhance Sustainability – Limit environmental impact by reducing scrap levels, reducing consumption of oils, and prolonging the life of your pans.

Our customers typically see 300–600 releases depending on the product being baked.

Yes, we have the ability to clean and refurbish bakery racks.

The amount of time it takes for your pans to be picked up, refurbished, and returned to you depends upon your location and location of the Pan Glo plant nearest you.

AMERICOAT® is a silicon-based, non-stick, and non-toxic coating that is responsibly manufactured and derived from naturally occurring minerals. AMERICOAT® complies with all relevant FDA, EU, and other known regulations for food contact.

FDA Status: AMERICOAT® is suitable for coatings in contact with food per 21CFR175.300 provided all the solvent is removed from the final coating in contact with food, the coating is cured per manufacturer instructions, and all the use and extractive limits are met as specified in 175.300.

Pan Glo will work with you to arrange pick-up and delivery of your pans. Depending upon your location, Pan Glo will use their own fleet of semi-trailers.

We have 20 locations throughout the USA, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, and the UK that clean and recoat pans with AMERICOAT® glaze.

Pan life can be shortened by abuse from conveyors. Stacking equipment can also cause metal fatigue and wear, eventually causing cracks and/or holes to form in the metal and welds to break. Surface abrasion damages the release coating and pan material which can cause corrosion (rust) to form.

Working with Pan Glo to keep pans clean, straight, and properly coated will extend the life of your pans, ensure a more sanitary baking environment, reduce your oil usage, and produce a more consistent bake quality for your products.

The Pan Glo® cleaning process keeps hazardous chemicals out of your workplace, eliminates the space needed for bulky tanks and hoists to lift pans/racks into the tanks, and saves your staff valuable time and energy. Commercial soak tanks do not have the valuable benefit of pan straightening and recoating. This, coupled with our quick turnaround time, make Pan Glo a logical choice for your pan cleaning, straightening, and recoating needs.
