Abstract
This invention provides a process to renovate the bottoms of bakery pans, and to improve the expected useful life of such renovated pans. The process consists of using a bottom receiving die (female die), and a forming top (male) die, and a high pressure press capable of exerting enough force to stretch the bottom of the bakery pan and causing a rigid indented seam to be formed along the bottom edges of such bakery pans. Due to the extreme environmental conditions bakery pans are exposed to, the bottom portions and bottom edges of the pans become dented and deformed. Such deformity causes higher scrap rates for bread that is manufactured in the baking process. By using the Gaddy Off-Set Bottom process, life expectancy of baking pans are extended considerably, and scrap rates for deformed bread is significantly reduced. Such process also allows many pans to be straightened that otherwise would have to be scrapped and replaced by new, non-deformed pans.
