AMETEK Specialty Metal Products launches highly efficient tri-ply metal clad plate for griddles under name FASTAL

Designed for high performance commercial and residential griddles, the product offers excellent thermal conductivity and heat distribution properties. With faster heating times and a strong resilience to frequent temperature changes, it is the ideal material for electric or gas cooking surfaces.

FASTAL consists of three layers for optimal performance: stainless steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. The extremely durable stainless steel cooking surface is easy to clean and reduces sticking and flavor transfer. Aluminum has a heat transfer rate five times that of carbon steel, facilitating an even temperature distribution over the entire plate surface regardless of the heat source. Additionally, the stainless steel/aluminum product is one-third the weight of carbon steel, which facilitates installation and movement of the griddle.

AMETEK SMP employs a well-established roll bonding process to achieve a high metallurgical bond strength and can supply the premium product in custom sizes, small batch sizes, and short lead times. This roll-bonded clad plate can be cut to custom sizes easily to match precise griddle manufacturers’ specifications, while maintaining bond integrity and performance.

Joe Capone, Director of Market and Product Development at AMETEK SMP, says: “We specifically developed our roll-bonded FASTAL clad plate to meet the growing demand in the griddle market. FASTAL delivers a uniform heating surface, faster heating up and cooling down times, and a stainless steel cooking surface. Our team is very excited to bring another roll-bonded product to the market.”

The FASTAL name reflects the three-layer clad plate’s core benefits and contents. “FAST” focuses the mind on the product’s ability to rapidly respond to temperature changes cycling up and down as the griddle is used, while “ST” pays tribute to the “stainless steel” content and “AL” is taken from the aluminum core.
