Alfa ovens are popular all over the world for their quality, their high cooking performances, their elegant design and energy efficiency.<\/b><\/p>\n
From the very beginning, Alfa has focused on continuous innovation to improve oven performance <\/b>by working on their inner structure and doing extensive research on the heat capacity of refractories. By combining the manufacturing technologies used to build traditional wood-burning ovens with those of steel stoves, Alfa managed to get the best of both worlds, a stainless-steel and refractory oven.<\/b><\/p>\n
In this article, we will trace the events that allowed us to develop and patent the Forninox technology,<\/b> an important building block of the Alfa models, which are highly prized on the pizza oven market.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Alfa\u2019s technology facilitates the manufacturing of energy-efficient wood-fired ovens<\/b> that nevertheless do reach the high temperatures necessary to bake a bona fide Neapolitan pizza. In fact, wood-burning ovens made with Forninox\u2122 technology are equipped with a dome covered with a layer of various types of steel<\/b> that makes for a better insulation and keeps the heat in the cooking chamber longer.<\/b> The floor and the vault are built with the best in-house refractory materials.<\/b><\/p>\n Besides, the base comes with a further refractory layer<\/b> to control heat loss and to stabilise the temperature. Thanks to Forninox\u2122 technology, Alfa meets the needs of people who want to cook with a real wood-fired oven<\/b> in a no-fuss way. Let us face it, traditional wood-burning brick oven are simply the pinnacle of cooking, but they also overflow with serious constraints such as:<\/p>\n Alfa thought of them when it came up with the idea of producing steel wood-fired ovens<\/strong><\/a><\/b> capable of going beyond the limits of traditional brick ovens.<\/strong><\/p>\n Want more info about Forninox\u2122 technology?<\/b> Visit our page<\/strong><\/a><\/b> to look into the technical points of this innovation and the materials used to build our ovens.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> The success of Forninox\u2122- technology home ovens and the growing interest of professionals operating in the hospitality business,<\/b> have convinced Alfa to extend the use of this technology to commercial ovens as well.<\/p>\n Many pizza makers had already chosen Alfa\u2019s wood-fired commercial ovens<\/b> for their restaurants and pizzerias attracted by their compactness and remarkable versatility. So, in 2015 the Forninox\u2122<\/b> technology was applied to the whole range of Alfa\u2019s commercial ovens getting a wonderful reception.<\/b><\/p>\n This achievement has driven us to develop new technologies and materials to manufacture high-performance, state-of-the-art ovens.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Here are the main advantages of Alfa\u2019s steel ovens:<\/b><\/p>\n Alfa\u2019s largest home ovens can bring the temperature up to more than 450\u00b0C in about thirty minutes<\/b> and even less for smaller models. In fact, thanks to Forninox\u2122 technology, it takes just a few minutes to heat the oven up to the right temperature.<\/b><\/p>\n To operate such an oven, you need less firewood as the STAINLESS-steel covering and the high-grade refractory materials provide enough insulation to reduce heat loss.<\/b><\/p>\n The oven is delivered to your door and ready to be used in nothing flat<\/b>. Just screw it to the base, put the flue into the dome and get it going! The dome is coated with a double layer of powder paint<\/b> to protect the oven against bad weather.<\/p>\n The oven low weight<\/b> makes for extreme maneuverability heightened by a 4-castor light structure to move it easily. From now on, you will be able to wheel your wood-burning oven to your garden or terrace to host stonking pizza parties with friends and family.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Since the very beginning of the company, the pursuit of excellence was our mission statement.<\/b><\/p>\n The first traditional Alfa oven was built by the two founder members in 1977<\/b> (and is still in working order). We pioneered the refractory oven industry<\/b><\/a><\/b> and for almost 50 years our aim was to make the wood-fired oven an affordable <\/b>and easy-to-use cooking appliance which heats up quickly and consumes less energy.<\/b><\/p>\n We started with the raw materials<\/b>, working and improving on refractories to obtain ovens with better thermal mass and insulation. <\/b>Then, we focused on the structures to create robust products that stand the test of time.<\/b><\/p>\n All Alfa ovens are made in Italy <\/b>by skilled craftsmen on the company\u2019s premises in Anagni, not far from the historic cradles of pizza, Naples and Rome.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.alfaforni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/artisans-alfa-forni-alfa-refrattari-20.jpg\")
