Occupational Safety Training in Non-Stick Pan Manufacturing

1. Overview of Non-Stick Pans

a. What is a Non-Stick Pan?

A non-stick pan is a type of pan coated with a non-stick surface that prevents food from sticking and makes cleaning easier after use. Common non-stick coatings include PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or ceramic. Non-stick pans are typically used for frying, sautéing, cooking, roasting, and other recipes. In addition to pans, other kitchen utensils such as pots and woks can also have non-stick coatings.

b. Machinery for Non-Stick Pan Production

The production process of non-stick pans generally includes steps such as material preparation, mixing, pressing, heating, coating with non-stick material, and packaging. Common machinery used in the production process includes:

• Press machines: to shape pans from flat steel sheets.
• Stamping machines: to create floral patterns, folds, or other designs on the pan surface.
• Furnaces: to heat the pans, enhancing hardness and durability.
• Coating machines: to apply a non-stick layer on the pan surface.
• Packaging machines: to package the pans after production is completed.

Other equipment such as cutting machines, surface processing machines, cleaning machines, and quality inspection machines are also used to ensure product quality.
