Retarder proofer cabinet Everlasting

Have you always thought that being a baker requires nocturnal sacrifices? With the Everlasting retarder proofer cabinet (available in 20 or 40-tray models), you can finally say goodbye to sleepless nights and optimize your time management.

Thanks to advanced fermentation retarding technology, you can prepare your breads, breakfast pastries, focaccias, and specialties at any time of the day. Simply store your preparations in the cabinet and set the desired program: the system will automatically manage the entire cycle, ensuring your products are perfectly proofed and ready to be baked at the exact scheduled time.

We at Bakeit have chosen this line for our range of professional proofers because it ensures natural and uniform proofing. The result is a daily product that is always fresh, high-quality, and yields impeccable results. Furthermore, the system offers you total flexibility: you can manage closing days with complete peace of mind by retarding the fermentation and keeping the dough at the ideal temperature until baking time.

Why choose a retarder proofer cabinet?

Adopting a retarder proofing system is a strategic choice that radically transforms the dynamics of your bakery, making it work for you even when you are not there.

• Goodbye to night shifts: simplify your routine by eliminating early wake-ups. Prepare products when you prefer and schedule the proofing to have them ready at opening time.
• Flexibility and rest: easily manage closing days by delaying the process for up to 72 hours (for example, preparing on Saturday to bake on Monday morning).
• Uniform results and versatility: consistent quality guaranteed every single day, ideal for bakeries, pastry shops, and laboratories looking for precision and cost optimization.

Unlike the retarder proofer counter (designed for those with small spaces who need a worktop) and the biga retarder cabinet (specific only for the maturation of pre-ferments), the retarder proofer cabinet is the complete and definitive machine for autonomously managing the entire thermal cycle of large volumes of product, bringing them ready right up to the moment of baking.

Features of Everlasting retarder proofer cabinets

Produced entirely in Italy and CE certified, the retarder proofer cabinet guarantees the highest quality standards, combining robust materials with advanced digital management.

Bakeit offers two configurations (which can be ordered with either a glass door or a solid stainless steel door; trays not included):

• Compact model: for 20 trays (40 x 60 cm, reduced depth: 743 mm) with a total capacity of approximately 30 kg of product.
• High-capacity model: for 40 trays (40 x 60 cm) or 20 trays (60 x 80 cm, depth: 1043 mm) with a storage capacity of 60 kg.

Technical specifications and functionality

The reliability of this machine starts with its solid construction, designed to withstand the intense pace of the bakery and ensure a constantly hygienic and efficient working environment.

Stainless steel structure: built entirely in AISI 304 stainless steel (with a galvanized sheet metal technical compartment). The interior features rounded corners and a pressed bottom that significantly simplify daily cleaning operations.

Insulation and setup: thermal dispersion is minimized thanks to a 60 mm high-efficiency ecological polyurethane insulation. The interior is fully customizable thanks to racks with a 24 mm pitch, runners, and adjustable feet, all strictly in stainless steel.

Beneath this robust steel shell beats an advanced technological heart, designed to offer you total control over the internal climate and simplify maintenance.

• "Monoblock" refrigeration unit: the ventilated refrigeration system uses eco-friendly R290 gas. The extractable motor block allows for extremely quick maintenance interventions if necessary, without compromising the machine's operability.
• Temperatures and condensation management: the cabinet manages a very wide temperature range, from -10°C to +40°C. To further lighten your workload, both defrosting and condensation evaporation occur fully automatically.
• Active humidity control: in the FL version, the system can regulate humidity up to 95%. This function is essential to maintain the dough's ideal hydration level, preventing your products from drying out on the surface.

All this power and climatic precision are governed by a true digital "brain," accessible in a simple and intuitive way.

• 7” Touch Screen Panel: allows you to access a smart recipe book with over 20 preset programs, in addition to giving you the freedom to save your personal recipes.
• Automated multi-phase management: each production cycle can be divided into up to 5 distinct phases (from initial cooling to final proofing). The system modulates time, temperature, and humidity entirely autonomously.
• Safety and traceability: the software integrates HACCP monitoring with a dedicated alarm log, ensuring food safety is always under control.
• Total connectivity: the integrated Wi-Fi module allows for remote management, while the RS-485 serial port facilitates interfacing with your bakery's external supervision systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What controls are available for retarder proofing?

Our cabinets offer complete and professional management through three fundamental controls, which allow you to perfectly modulate the internal microclimate:

• Heating control
• Cooling control
• Humidity control

Thanks to the synergistic combination of these three parameters, you can set extremely precise and repeatable work cycles.

Do I need to connect the cabinet to the water supply?

Yes. To create the necessary humidity inside the cabinet, simply connect the humidifier's 3/4” inlet pipe to the mains water supply.

What products can be stored inside the cabinet?

The cabinets are designed to accommodate different products even within the same cell. Specifically, you can store:

• Breads and viennoiserie: from classic small and medium-sized rolls to specialty breads, as well as pizzas, pinsas, focaccias, and all kinds of breakfast products.
• Large leavened goods: the cabinet is the perfect environment for proofing panettone and colomba.
• Frozen products: the system includes a special program to defrost, "awaken," and subsequently proof products that are already below freezing (ideal for croissants, cornetti, and specialty breads, with or without fats).

How long does a retarder proofing cycle last?

The retarder proofer cabinet offers a program that can last up to 72 hours. This allows you, for example, to prepare the product on Friday morning and find it ready to bake on Monday morning, letting you enjoy your closing days without worries.

How do I install the retarder proofer cabinet?

Once the cabinet is positioned in the desired spot in your bakery or kitchen, remove the packaging and make two connections: the electrical one (connecting the Schuko plug to the single-phase line) and the water one (connecting the 3/4” pipe between the humidifier and the inlet valve).
