The term mould is generally used for enclosed or shaped products that define the final form of the bread, while pan or tray is more commonly used for open baking equipment. EKMAŞ offers a wide product range suitable for both applications.
What materials are industrial bakery trays and pans made from?
EKMAŞ bakery trays and pans can be manufactured from aluminium, stainless steel, aluminised steel and cast metal. Aluminium offers a lightweight structure and efficient heat conductivity, stainless steel provides a hygienic and corrosion-resistant surface, aluminised steel combines strength with reliable heat transfer, and cast metal retains heat for an extended period. Each material provides different advantages depending on the production process.
How much do EKMAŞ bread pans cost?
EKMAŞ bread pans are available at prices ranging from $12.53 to $70.56. Prices may vary depending on the dimensions, material, product design and whether the pan has a coated or uncoated surface. For current pricing, please visit the relevant product pages on ekmas.com.tr.
Should bakery trays and pans be coated or uncoated?
Coated models are generally preferred for doughs and products with a higher risk of sticking. For cakes, toast bread and hamburger buns, a coated surface can reduce cleaning time and help the baked product release more easily from the pan. Uncoated models may offer a more durable alternative for applications involving high temperatures, intensive production or the use of metal utensils.
Which oven sizes are EKMAŞ trays compatible with?
EKMAŞ trays and pans are manufactured in dimensions compatible with common industrial bakery standards. The most widely used sizes are 40 × 60 cm and 60 × 80 cm, providing compatibility with standard pan trolleys, oven racks and industrial baking systems.
What types of industrial bakery trays and pans are available?
Industrial bakery trays and pans are divided into different categories according to their intended application. These include bread pans, baguette trays, pide trays, hamburger bun pans, loaf pans, pizza trays, pastry trays, cake pans and custom-shaped production pans. The product type, dough characteristics and required production capacity are the main factors that determine the correct pan selection.
What are the main features of industrial bakery trays and pans?
Industrial bakery trays and pans are designed with durable materials, reliable heat distribution, standardised dimensions and structures suitable for professional production. Coated models help reduce sticking and support easier product release, while uncoated models may provide longer service life under intensive production conditions.
What sizes are industrial bakery trays manufactured in?
Industrial bakery trays can be manufactured in different dimensions according to the product type and oven size.

Can industrial bakery trays and pans rust?
Stainless steel trays and pans provide a high level of corrosion resistance. Aluminium models can also be used safely for many years when they have the appropriate coating and are maintained correctly. Cast metal pans should be properly cleaned, thoroughly dried and maintained after use to protect their surface and extend their service life.
Which metals are used to manufacture industrial bakery trays and pans?
Industrial bakery trays and pans are commonly manufactured from aluminium, aluminised steel, stainless steel and cast metal. Aluminium is preferred for its low weight and efficient heat conductivity. Aluminised steel provides durability, long service life and uniform heat transfer. Stainless steel offers a hygienic and corrosion-resistant surface, while cast metal is valued for its ability to retain heat for an extended period.
What should be considered when selecting a bakery tray or pan?
When selecting a bakery tray or pan, the product to be baked, oven rack dimensions, daily production capacity, material type, coating preference and cleaning requirements should all be considered.
