Retarder prover cabinets

Our roll-in and retarders prover cabinets allow the baker to rationalize the activity by avoiding inconvenient working hours and ensuring aromas and fragrances superior to those obtained through traditional leavening. In fact, the equipment precisely controls and optimizes the leavening process in the most absolute guarantee of hygiene and quality. All functions are presided over by a microprocessor which can slow down, block or restart the process by controlling all phases and ensuring that the dough is ready to be placed in the oven at the desired time.

Ilsa Bakery System technology to optimize the leavening process

We all know that a good proving process is an essential step in the production of baked goods, to obtain bread, pizza and other baked goods that are easier to digest and offer a tasty flavour. It is a process known since ancient times, perfected by the Egyptians in 3000 B.C., whose essential factor is the action of yeast.

The leavening process

Yeasts are living micro-organisms belonging to the fungus kingdom. There are over a thousand species and once activated, i.e. brought to the right temperature, they have the ability to feed on the sugars contained in the dough and transform them into carbon dioxide. This process causes the dough to swell, acquiring the typical alveolar structure of bread and pizza.
Leavening not only makes the final result softer and tastier, it also has the important function of making it more digestible.

Factors in the leavening process

Besides the yeast, another key aspect of good leavening is the temperature, which must remain within well-defined limits.
In fact, the yeasts are only activated above 6° but die if the temperature rises above 38°, thus failing in their essential function.
The last element involved in this delicate balance is time. The right temperature must be kept constant for a sufficient period of time to allow the dough to prove.

Leavening delay

The Ilsa Bakery System simplifies the whole process for bakery and pastry professionals.
This is a controlled leavening system based on innovative technology that manages temperature and leavening time for perfect results. In detail, the system keeps the dough at a temperature below 4 °C, slowing down the fermentation action of the yeast for the desired time. The leavening process is thus delayed until the programmed start, with obvious advantages in terms of flexibility of working hours. The quality of the final product is significantly improved as the process management reduces the use of yeasts and additives. The leavening process is natural, as it is slower, resulting in a more homogeneous dough with better organoleptic properties.
