Whirlpool EMEA announced during the meeting at the Ministry of Economic Development, the decision to transfer the business complex of Naples to the company Passive Refrigeration Solutions SA (PRS) , active in the production and sale of passive refrigeration systems, which has developed a unique patent in the field of refrigerated containers.
According to the company, ” the transfer of the company branch is the only way to protect the maximum employment in Naples and offer a sustainable long-term future to the plant that, alternatively, would have ceased all production activity due to the
decline of demand for high-end washing machines at international level and the consequent drop in production which led the Naples plant to operate below 30% of its production capacity, thus determining a situation that is no longer sustainable for the company and for its own employees
With Stekio and Fireluft, 3P Engineering introduces important news in the world of gas hobs: all the powers in the same burner, native digital control and exclusive design (thanks to the halving of the grids height) are the main plusses of these innovative technologies.
Hob with Stekio burners
Innovation and design at the highest levels are the objectives that 3P Cooking (strategic project of 3P Engineering in the gas cooking sector) has set itself to achieve with Fireluft and Stekio technologies. The results obtained by the dedicated and highly specialized team of the company increase the possibilities that a gas hob can offer, renewing a sector that in recent years has found itself having to deal with the growing success of induction models. The innovation of the new technologies has been recognized since the beginning by the Marche Region (where 3P Engineering is based), which financed the Efesto project (Extra-Flux stoichiometric gas burner cooktop ), from which the Fireluft technology was born and from which the development of Stekio is derived. The technical data show the level of innovations achieved, starting with the fact that every single burner, both Fireluft and Stekio, is able to supply all the fire powers, from minimum to maximum. The advantage is remarkable because the user can use the same burner to make coffee or to cook pasta. «The range of powers that so far corresponded to four burners is now found in a single stove – explain Michele Marcantoni and Rosalino Usci, managing directors of 3P Engineering -. When cooking food, it is no longer necessary to change burner because the same burner can be used from the larger pans up to the coffee maker». Another important point to underline is the central minimum flame that reaches 400 W, «a record – Marcantoni and Usci declare – that did not exist until today in the gas hob». In practice, the Fireluft and Stekio burners create a “bed” of vertical flames without gaps in the center that allows cooking better and faster, avoiding heat loss. Performance are optimized: efficiency increases by 10%, with a 20% reduction in cooking time, and an energy saving of 10%. Furthermore, there is a 20% gas saving and a 10% decrease in emissions and thermal radiation during cooking. «With these performances – Usci and Marcantoni commented – we are able to reduce what today appear to be the limits of gas compared to induction».
Michele Marcantoni (on the right) and Rosalino Usci, managing directors of 3P Engineering
Examining the distinctive features of each technology, Stekio is a pre-mix atmospheric burner designed primarily for those who love luxury kitchens and, at the same time, want hi-tech performance. A single burner of this type brings together the powers corresponding to the rapid, semi-rapid and auxiliary burners; moreover, aesthetics was developed in collaboration with professors of the Polytecnic University of Milan. With the Stekio technology, it is possible to realize hobs with very thin grids (height ≤ 20 mm, 50% less than a traditional grid), obtaining an elegant and sophisticated design. The distance between the pot and the burner is reduced by 33% and this involves not only aesthetic advantages but also greater speed in cooking and lower energy consumption. «With Stekio the goal was to make it possible that technological innovations will translate into aesthetic beauty – Marcantoni and Usci explain -. To achieve this goal, we have started a collaboration with the Polytecnic of Milan, a university that is in the world top ten of academic industrial design. We realized that the technical targets obtained were not enough, we also wanted to emphasize the impact on the aesthetics of the product, obtainable with this new technology. We looked for an interlocutor able to interpret these innovations, creating a design capable of communicating and enhancing them, and worked in close synergy, “freeing” the aesthetics of gas hobs from the constraints imposed by some construction problems, such as size and height of the grids, traditionally massive and far from the flame zone for technical reasons.
Stekio burner
With Stekio we have gone beyond these limits: the result is evident, so much so that a hob with this technology (already selected by the European Commission in the COSME program with the M- Stekio/Burnerway project and dedicated to campers, caravans and yachts) has been chosen for the Triennale in Milan.» As far as Fireluft is concerned, 3P Engineering has developed a technology characterized by pressurized pre-mix burners. In this case, the distinctive feature is the extremely high power of the single fire (it exceeds 4 kW), managing to have in one only stove the equivalent of four burners (special, rapid, semi-rapid, auxiliary). This type of technical performance makes Fireluft a solution also suitable for vprofessional kitchens, where maximum firepower is sought as well as the top of technological innovation, without neglecting design. Furthermore, Fireluft also offers benefits in terms of Indoor Air Quality. «This technology – Usci and Marcantoni explain – is characterized by the presence of air provision that is used for combustion and also to increase the efficiency of fume collection by the hood combined with the hob.» Moreover, in terms of design, the new technology has a decisive impact on aesthetics: as with Stekio, even for Fireluft it is possible to halve the height of the grids compared to the standard, giving the appliance great refinement as well as improving performance (shorter cooking time and energy saving). In addition, Fireluft burners can be made with a circular or hexagonal design to adapt to any style requirement. The innovations developed by 3P Engineering are patented both in terms of design and technology: with regard to the latter, eight industrial invention patents have been registered. «The technical skills of 3P Engineering in the gas sector – the two managing directors affirm – are the result of the experience accumulated over the years thanks to the collaboration with national and international customers, in particular as regards the gas combustion in domestic heating. This is the sector that first has used the pre-mix burners: to exploit the advantages of this combustion technology in home cooking is the challenge to bring a new and more efficient way of cooking into the gas cooking market.»
The plusses of digital also for gas
Stekio and Fireluft are characterized by digital native control in touch screen. «By introducing digital technologies into our solutions, we give gas many of the features that attract people about induction – Marcantoni and Usci underline -. This means an evolutionary step of domestic cooking technology , succeeding in integrating the benefits of induction cooking with the advantages of gas hobs.» And that’s not all. Fireluft and Stekio are also IoT Ready and therefore can interact with other systems from the perspective of the Internet of Things and smart home, as well as being manageable through a smartphone. Connectivity is the tool to enable future services and functions. «We are not far – the two managing directors explain – from the possibility of switching off the gas hob remotely. If I forgot the home appliance turned on and I only realized it when I am in my car, technically with Fireluft and Stekio it will be possible to turn off the stove at a distance.» Safety is a topic that 3P Engineering has considered with particular attention, since both Stekio and Fireluft have equipped with a triple security level called SIL 3 (Safety Integrated Level), an international record. In detail, the two technologies provide a general safety valve that is integrated into the hob, and a safety valve for each burner. Moreover, since the burner consists of individual flame zones, these are also served by an interception device. Finally, another element that guarantees safety and brings Stekio and Fireluft closer to the functionality of induction hobs, is the ability to set the maximum cooking time and the related automatic shutdown. «Since the operation of the single burner is controlled by electronics – Marcantoni and Usci adds – power and time are easily manageable and programmable.»
Hob with Fireluft burners (circular design)
Benefits for B2B
The Stekio and Fireluft technologies have been conceived to offer manufacturers of hobs a series of advantages in terms of performance, possibility of customization and reduction of management and logistics costs thanks to a single code for all burners. «With the new 3P Cooking burners – Marcantoni and Usci affirm – it is possible to realize a gas hob with superior yield at power parity, which translates into a market plus. Essentially, with the same number of burners, greater power and better performance are obtained in the hob.» Furthermore, having a single product code for all burners simplifies and speeds order and warehouse management, with the ability to automate assembly and make the production process more efficient. Finally, a non-negligible aspect is the maximum freedom of customization, choosing the number and position of the individual burners since the burners are all perfectly identical.

Control and design
“KitchenAid proposes the blast chiller in the built-in version for its discrete and elegant insertion in the domestic environment”, explains Novella Sardos Albertini, Head Of Brands, Communication And Sell Out of Whirlpool Italia. The appliance “allows cooling or freezing any food type in few minutes, transforming the water it contains into micro-crystals without altering its organic structure, through 3 functions: Soft Blast chilling, which gradually decreases the temperature of cooked foods to +3 °C in 90 minutes maximum, suitable for delicate foods or baked cakes; Hard Blast chilling for the fast cooling (+3 °C in 90 minutes) of meat recipes, first courses or soups; Fast Freezing, which lowers the inner temperature of foods down to -18 °C, forming much smaller ice crystals than those generally generated in the freezer”. Special options permit to set automatically the household appliance in “fridge” or “freezer” modality, keeping its temperature low and constant and promptly intervening if the cooling cycle ended but it was not possible to take out foods immediately; besides, they offer the beverage cooling function. In comparison with professional, “the machine sizes have been made compatible with the standard of built-in household appliance. Noise has been limited, reducing the sound impact in the kitchen environment to minimum levels, for a cavity that can operate at -36 °C at steady state for the freezing function”. Moreover, “we have maintained the availability of an inner temperature probe for the precise management (to the degree) of the cooling process, which dialogues with the machine and controls its cool delivery according to the target to be reached. The motor is suitably positioned for exploiting the internal space at best, despite the reduction to adapt it to domestic sizes”. The product usability is simplified by the interface with large characters, lit and intuitive, equipped with touch keys that can be operated with the simple pressure of a finger and highlighted with clear icons.

Electrolux and AEG have bet on built-in models, integrating them in the offer of compact products, not only in terms of functions but also of design aligned with the rest of the range. “The choice of having built-in blast chillers was made to offer a unique design solution to consumers, to underline the aesthetical aspect of the kitchen environment – states Michela Bacchi, Product Line Manager Electrolux -. This has required adapting a big-size product to a scale that can be installed in a niche for compact products, while preserving its professional performances”. The steel chamber and the LED lighting share in pointing out its provenience from the Pro world. “Our models are equipped with a special thermal probe, able to measure food core temperature. Functions can be activated by the use of the thermal probe or manually inputting the dish weight. The soft blast chilling option reaches 5 °C, the hard blast chilling drops to 3 °C, while the freezing function reaches -18 °C at the food core. The chamber reaches even temperatures around -40 °C. Setting options, functions and special assisted programmes is simple and intuitive thanks to TouchControl programmers. Electrolux and AEG blast chillers are provided with various special programmes for the assisted freezing that guide the optimal blast chilling process, differentiated for each food. The hard blast chilling minimizes the crystallization phenomenon: food molecules are not destroyed while organoleptic qualities, vitamins and properties remain integer. The special sanitizing programme allows preparing and tasting sushi at home safely while the special assisted cooling programme is ideal for drinks, wine and champagne”. Consumptions are a fundamental element, too: “the blast chiller consumes one fourth of the energy of an oven, about 450 Wh”.
Smart process from cold to hot
Freestanding Fresco blast chiller by Irinox
“Both the built-in and the freestanding blast chiller have found room in kitchens worldwide – says Luca Gennai, General Manager of Irinox -. In the first case, the product is often linked with the design of a new kitchen, vice versa the freestanding can be integrated into the kitchen at any time, sizes are compact and design unique”. The domestic blast chiller, he adds, “uses the same technology and the main components contained in a household refrigerator. However, the sizing of the main components (compressor, evaporator and condenser, with the addition of fans, the latter not equipping refrigerators) is different, to assure a fast warmth extraction from foods.
The inner probe for the detection of food core temperature of Freddy blast chiller by Irinox
Besides the typical cooling and freezing functions of a blast chiller, Fresco & Freddy permit also the management of hot functions, for leavening, LTC (low temperature cooking), regeneration and unfreezing. The balancing between refrigerating system and internal heating is managed by software that allows preserving the intrinsic wetness of each food without the addition of steam from the outside, also during low-temperature cooking”. What are next evolution steps? “The current performances of our blast chillers are very high, just due to their derivation and company’s professional DNA. Today the challenge for the blast chiller is not technological but mainly oriented to the capability of informing the market about its use. In the specific case we think the integration of the domestic blast chiller will be mainly of digital character, making it become indispensable at home in the future, as the refrigerator became many years ago”.
Domestic blast chillers by Fhiaba
Priority is the correct food conservation, of both organoleptic qualities and taste. For this reason, explains Massimo Baron Toaldo, Managing Director of Fhiaba, “all of our products, blast chillers included, propose innovative modalities of soft conservation that allow preserving and enhancing the food naturalness, paving the way to new cooking experiences. The blast chiller is conceived in the professional kitchen, to take quickly just cooked food to a core temperature of 3 °C, without exposing it to agents that would damage quality, safety and conservation. In this way, operational times decrease, speeding up the organization in the kitchen. Our multifunction blast chillers go beyond, working at temperatures from -40 °C to 70 °C, with perfect balances of wetness and ventilation: you can freeze, cook at low temperature, leaven Neapolitan pizzeria dough, crystallize chocolate, prepare yogurts and ice creams. Out strong point is the concept of soft conservation by using technologies that allow balancing temperature, wetness, ventilation and time perfectly. Cooling or heating is not enough but we must create a climatic condition that assures the delicate balance among the four variables at stake with continuity. Multifunction blast chillers mean utmost versatility in the kitchen, with the guarantee of preparing always, in simple and fast manner, natural recipes, with the entire freshness and all nutritional values of the raw material”. Fhiaba blast chiller conforms to a smart system logic: “not only it is perfectly integrated with the refrigerators and cellar columns by Fhiaba, but it was also conceived to become an ideal complement for the domestic kitchen, suiting the characteristics and the sizes of the various cooking systems. If offers, for instance, the advantageous food transfer from the oven to the chiller, without changing baking tin, faster, with fewer wastes and washings”.
