Commercial and industrial
pre-dough fermenters

Coperion offers through its technology brands DIOSNA and VMI a wide range of fermenters specialized for the bakery industry.

These specialized equipment help to achieve consistent and reproducible ferment properties for your baking recipes by controlling each and every step of the preparation:

• Ingredient mixing, initiate the batch by combining the ingredients.
• Fermentation, let the microorganism develop the dough, increase its volume .
• Maturation, further develop flavor and texture, resulting in better crumb structure and aromatic properties.
• Preservation, extend the shelf life of your ferment and protects its aroma.

Here are key features to look for when selecting a commercial or industrial pre-dough fermenter:

• Recipe input and control: control your recipe automatically and let your operators easily switch from product to product.
• Gentle stirring or bowl rotation: distribute the microorganism and micronutrients homogeneously in your ferment, introduce small amount of oxygen when required and improve dough elasticity through gluten-development.
• Temperature control and cooling, this will provide precision and retard dough development for extended storage.
• Easy to clean, your fermenter should be easy to clean to avoid contamination of batches.

To complement our range of equipment, starter cultures and pre-dough starters are also available in brick or liquid form by DIOSNA. The use of our starters will support your commercial or industrial operations by ensuring consistency of texture and flavors of your baked products.
