TPB Tech Cooktop - Induction Slab
Universal Granite
The cooking top and controls on this hob are incorporated into the laminated slab giving a combined cooking and working area with an aesthetic appeal given by the Ascale ceramic top layer. This area can be used to cook, cut and eat, this makes the benchtop more functional and hygienic. The induction technology means that the area is instantly cool as soon as the hob is powered off (under most cooking situations). The benchtop comes with either two or four inductions. This hob is a show stopper and really impresses everyone who sees it, the induction technology works quickly and efficiently and the range of colours means you can personalise your benchtop to suit. Universal Granite also stocks Ascale slabs so you can match the rest of your surfaces to your hob. Ascale porcelain is environmentally friendly, lightweight and easy to keep hygienically clean.
The thickness of the hob means that the full functionality of the induction cooker is possible - thicker slabs result in much longer heating times whereas this induction works as quickly as gas. This is currently the only certified system like this in New Zealand.
Design your hob by selecting the colour finish desired from the range.

Why TPB induction?
The Kitchen as a place to meet, work, live and enjoy is a special place at your home. Technology and design are subordinated to this purpose; they create maximum comfort and an atmosphere of well-being.
TPB tech takes this purpose into account in a special way. The classic black ceramic glass is no longer necessary and the inductors are hidden on the surface or on the worktop using the state-of- the art TPB tech technology as a whole integrated cooking solution, highly efficient and offering the highest comfort.
However, the technological challenge in the development of TPB tech is to have invented a material , the TPB TOP PORZELANIK BARCELONA one, which solves the problem of thermal shock and impact. Porcelain alone tends to break up when there are sudden changes of temperature such as those that occur constantly during the cooking process due to the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion.
TPB tech solves this problem with its patent on the material TPB TOP PORZELANIK BARCELONA which is a multilayer material composed of porcelain ceramic, aluminum, Bakelite and another aluminum layer . The surface is porcelain ceramic and provides all the positive properties of this material (it is not porous and is therefore antibacterial, absolutely scratch-resistant, easy to clean and can also be used as cutting surface ). The aluminium layer under the porcelain ceramic serves as a heat conductor and therefore acts as a heat sink that prevents in a secure manner a thermal shock. The other layers: Bakelite and aluminum ensure a significant weight reduction, high impact resistance and absolute planimetry.
All those materials or surfaces intended to cook directly on its surface which neglect to solve the problems of thermal shock and impact are doomed to failure.
The modern induction technology of TPB tech impresses with its speed and excellent energy efficiency.
TPB tech’s induction equipment is not a conventional one since its technology has been specifically adapted for the TPB tech product given that its surface is not a glass.
TPB tech does not work with traditional induction equipment on the market.
The TPB technology works with "elevations", small separators, between the pot and the surface, which minimizes the residual temperature on the working surface after cooking. The induction response time is extremely fast when heating the pot and when adjusting the power level. It can be manipulated by tactile operation directly on the work surface or by knobs on the fronts of the furniture.
The position of the inductors, as well as the diameter and power can be freely configured.
What is the TPB Hob composed of?
The hob is a composite slab containing - top layer - Ascale Porcelain slab - second layer of aluminium to prevent breakage and dissapte heat - third layer bakelite to give solidity and impact resistance - fourth layer aluminium, facilitates flexibility, resistance and allows mechanical fixing of the induction equipment.
