Artisan Retarder-Proofing Cabinet CL16

This professional cabinet for proofing and cold fermentation is designed to deliver top-quality fermentation processes for bakeries and pastry production. It accommodates trolleys for 600 × 800 mm trays, allowing for large volumes of dough while ensuring consistent results regardless of workload. Ideal for prolonged cold fermentation and precise, controlled proofing cycles.

The interior is crafted from high-grade AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, offering exceptional hygiene and durability in intensive food production environments. The exterior is finished with sturdy grey “plasteel” sheet metal, combining resilience with resistance to environmental wear. Walls and doors feature 80 mm of thermal insulation, while the reinforced stainless steel floor includes 60 mm of insulation, ensuring stable temperatures and energy efficiency.

The gentle cooling system, using indirect ventilation, is specially engineered to preserve dough moisture and structure – its soft airflow prevents surface drying or cracking during fermentation. The built-in steam generator offers precise humidity control during proofing phases, making the unit versatile for a range of pastries—from buttery croissants to long-fermented breads.

Operation is managed via a user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen control panel, which is multifunctional and multilingual, well-suited to professional kitchens. The system allows the programming of various cycles—fermentation, pause, cooling, etc.—optimizing workflow according to your production schedule. It also supports Wi‑Fi monitoring and USB connectivity, simplifying process oversight and data tracking—ideal for HACCP compliance and quality control.

Fan speed is adjustable at all stages, allowing you to tailor airflow to delicate doughs. The included trolley ramp makes loading easier, and internal LED lighting ensures clear visibility throughout. The remote condensing unit keeps noise levels low in your workspace and adds installation flexibility.

With a climate class 5 rating, this unit performs reliably even in high humidity and temperature environments—making it a trustworthy solution for professional use in bakeries, pastry shops, and production facilities. Trolleys are not included.
