Forninox Technology – Stainless-steel and refractory wood-burning ovens.

Here you can learn about the technology that allowed us to become market leaders. Whether it is commercial pizza ovens or high-performance home ones, whether it is wood-fired, gas-fired or electric, Alfa innovatively mixes steel with refractory materials to deliver top-notch ovens.

The ForninoxTM technology combines the excellent physical and thermal properties of steel and those of refractory bricks, the materials used to manufacture traditional wood-burning ovens.

Alfa ovens, built on ForninoxTM technology, reach the same temperature as traditional wood-fired ones but in a much shorter time.

The steel structure is specially designed to withstand thermal and mechanical stress due to the high temperature of the oven. The three-layer ceramic fibre dome insulation allows the temperature to rise quickly and to retain heat longer, thus cutting down fuel consumption.

The base and the inside of the cooking chamber are made with the best refractory materials so that the oven accumulates heat and gradually releases it to deliver perfectly baked dishes.

This innovation made it possible to manufacture high-performing ovens particularly appreciated by pizza chefs who experienced their advantages first-hand.

That’s why today most of our ovens, including the domestic ones, share this technology: to give all pizza buffs the chance to bake a real pizzeria-quality margherita at home. Just remember that there’s no shortage of traditional brick ovens in the wide range of Alfa products.
