Leading Air Treatment for Bread and Pastry Production
In the industrial bakery and pastry sector, the oven is not just another piece of equipment—it’s the heart of the process. The fermentation phase inside the oven directly determines the quality, texture, and flavor of bread and pastries.
Achieving precise control over this step is essential for delivering safe, high-quality products to consumers worldwide.
At Clauger, we understand the impact of even the smallest variations in temperature or humidity on your production. That’s why we’ve spent over 50 years perfecting air treatment and refrigeration solutions designed specifically for the bakery industry.
Mastering Air Treatment for Superior Product Quality
Controlling air means controlling fermentation. Clauger’s custom solutions provide ultra-precise temperature (±0.5°C) and humidity (±3% RH) management, ensuring optimal emergence without risk of drying or sticking.
Our innovative induction air diffusion via textile ducts eliminates cold spots and stratification, guaranteeing a perfectly homogeneous baking environment—batch after batch. For example, on a pure butter pastry line, this technology allowed uniform fermentation throughout spiral conveyors, improving product consistency and quality. On a major bun production line, our audits helped resolve humidity imbalances, resulting in a 40% reduction in steam consumption and faster achievement of fermentation targets.
Engineering Hygiene and Performance Into Every Solution
For Clauger, hygiene is engineered, not improvised. Every aspect of our equipment—steaming tunnels, cooling cells, spiral freezers, and air handling units—is 100% washable, built from stainless steel, and designed for easy cleaning and durability.
Key features include:
- Advanced airflow management: Creating overpressures, pressure cascades, and buffer zones for maximum hygiene and safety.
- E-Streaming real-time monitoring: Live monitoring and automated correction of airflows to protect sensitive areas such as manufacturing, cooling, and packaging.
- Additional functions: Cold blocking and post-wash drying to ensure production continuity and food safety.
