Heavy-duty trays for industrial bakeries, made to your product, your line and your oven. Built to stay flat, release cleanly and last for years.
Why Alvi
Alvi Metal Works manufactures heavy-duty trays for industrial bakeries. Our trays stay flat, hold their shape and release cleanly year after year. Every tray is built to the customer's specification, from design to mass production, and we stay with our customers after delivery with re-coating and repair.
Any size, any cavity, from first drawing to series production.
Dies designed and built in our workshop, so new trays move fast.
PFA, FEP or PTFE, chosen and applied for each product.
Certified raw materials meeting EU and US food-contact rules.
When you launch a product that has never existed before, the tray for it does not exist either. We learn what you want to bake and how your line works, design the tray around both, and produce samples for you to test on your own line before mass production begins.
Bakery Equipment
Outer size, cavity shape, cavity count, depth, material and coating are all set to your product, your line and your oven.
Each bun bakes in its own cavity, for a uniform round shape and an even colour across the whole tray.
Elongated cavities for hot dog, sub and finger rolls. Rolls come out straight and identical, ready for slicing and filling.
Sized to your product and spacing. Croissants keep their shape and bake to an even colour on the bottom.
Channels hold the dough's shape for an even, crisp crust. Perforated versions for better air flow.
Single and strapped tins. With a lid for square loaves and uniform slices, without for a classic domed top.
For depositor lines and automatic depanning. Every cavity formed to the same depth and finish, so cakes release intact.
Folded or flared edges. They stay flat through daily heating and cooling and fit your racks and ovens.
The trays standard catalogues do not offer: stackable sets, multi-part assemblies, deep or unusual cavities.
Built entirely from 304 stainless steel, including wheel mounts. Rack oven trolleys with heat-resistant wheels.
We do not sell from a standard list. Every dimension is produced to order.
What Alvi brings
Every tray starts from your product, your line and your oven. This is what that means in practice.
The Alvi team knows industrial bakery systems and ovens from the inside. Every tray is designed around how your line, your oven and your handling really work.
Outer size, cavity shape, cavity count, depth, material and coating are all set to your product, your line and your oven.
Alvi designers turn a product idea into a working tray. A new product gets a tray designed from a blank sheet, with samples tested on your line before mass production.
Alvi uses the highest-quality raw materials available on the market, all certified. Every product meets EU and US food-contact regulations.
Built for continuous oven cycles, automated lines and mechanical depanning, Alvi trays stay flat and keep their shape year after year.
PFA, FEP or PTFE is chosen for each product, based on the dough, the baking temperature and its peak, the cleaning routine and the expected cycle life.
Quick answers when you ask, short lead times when you order and fast action after delivery. Before, during and after the sale, Alvi never keeps you waiting.
Whenever you need technical advice, Alvi is there, from line and product-quality questions to cleaning routines. Cleaning, re-coating and repair keep your trays in service for years.
Coatings
The coating decides how the product releases, how easily the tray cleans and how long it lasts. We choose it for each product.
A tougher, denser film with strong release and high temperature resistance, for heavy daily use and frequent cleaning.
A very smooth, non-porous surface for the hardest products to release: cakes, sugary, sticky and delicate doughs.
Excellent release for most breads, buns and rolls. Proven, economical and suitable for high baking temperatures.
All coatings are certified for food contact and meet EU and US food-contact regulations.
After-sales
A worn coating does not mean a worn tray. We clean, strip and re-coat used trays and return them ready for production, usually for much less than the cost of replacing them.
Professional removal of carbon and residue build-up that hurts release and colour.
The old coating is stripped, the surface prepared again and a new food-safe coating applied.
Straightening, re-welding and replacement of damaged parts.
Advice on handling, cleaning and storage to get the most life out of every tray.
Custom production
Most of our work is custom. Whether you are changing an existing tray or launching a new product, every project goes through the same steps.
Product, dough weight, target shape, line and oven data, or simply a sample.
Technical drawings, material, gauge and coating, agreed with you.
A pre-series sample tested in your bakery, on your line.
Series production, coating and quality control, then packing and delivery.
Cleaning, re-coating and repair keep the trays in service for years.
Tooling
Press tools for hydraulic presses, for any industry. Designed and built in-house with the same know-how we use for our own trays, and proven every day on our own production floor.
Send a drawing, 3D file or sample part →Drawn cavities, trays and containers, in single or multi-stage tools.
Clean, repeatable blanks with consistent edges, part after part.
Perforation patterns, holes and slots in sheet metal.
