To meet all needs we develop each line in different capacities and with gas, electric or steam heating systems.
Each model can be equipped with dedicated accessories and optional extras, designed in compliance with the characteristics of the food and its properties.

FTC (Firex Touch Control)

The professional kitchen has a hi-tech heart

Our professional cooking equipment is highly automated.

It allows you to set cooking programmes, and monitor the progress of each phase, ensuring the safety and control of each process.
