Bakery

The process of producing bread and other bakery items typically involves several steps, from mixing the ingredients to baking them. Here is an overview of the equipment commonly used in a bakery:

• Mixers: These come in different sizes, from small countertop mixers to large floor models. Mixers are used to combine the ingredients for the dough, such as flour, water, yeast, and salt.

• Proofer: This is a warm and humid environment where the dough is allowed to rise, or "proof." A proofer can be a separate piece of equipment or built into an oven.

• Ovens: There are several types of ovens used in a bakery, including deck ovens, convection ovens, and rotary ovens. Deck ovens are the most traditional type and are great for artisan bread. Convection ovens are faster and more efficient, making them ideal for pastries and cakes. Rotary ovens are large and can bake a lot of products at once.

• Dough dividers: These machines portion the dough into equal-sized pieces. This is important for consistent baking and a professional appearance.

• Molders: Molders shape the dough into its final form, such as a loaf or a baguette.

• Proofing cabinets: These are similar to proofers but are used for smaller batches of dough. They are ideal for bakeries that don't have a lot of space.

• Cooling racks: After the bread or pastry is baked, it needs to cool before it can be packaged or sold. Cooling racks allow air to circulate around the product, preventing it from getting soggy.

• Slicers: Slicers are used to cut bread or pastries into uniform slices. They can be manual or automatic and come in different sizes.

These are just a few of the most common pieces of equipment used in a bakery. Of course, the specific equipment used will depend on the type and size of the bakery.

Confectionery 

The equipment used for making pastries includes devices such as mixers, molding machines, ovens, pastry machines, and presses.

• Mixers are used for mixing ingredients such as flour, eggs, sugar, and other products used in pastry production.

• Molding machines are used to give confectionery products the appropriate shape and size. They can be manual or automatic and come in different sizes and shapes.

• Ovens are used to bake products such as cookies, pastries, cakes, and other confectionery items. They can be gas or electric and come in different sizes and functions.

• Confectionery machines are used to create various confectionery items such as chocolate, candy, jelly, and other sweets. They can have different functions, such as melting chocolate, molding candy and jelly, and so on.

• Press forms are used to create various patterns and decorative elements on confectionery items such as cakes, cookies, and pastries.

In addition, to produce confectionery items, it is necessary to provide optimal conditions for storing and transporting the finished products, as well as to comply with strict sanitary norms and rules to ensure product safety.
