Fermentation Cabinet, Proofing Chamber
A fermentation cabinet, also known as a proofing chamber or proofer, is an essential piece of equipment for industrial bakeries, confectioneries, and any establishment requiring dough resting and fermentation in a humid environment. This equipment is specifically designed for the final fermentation process.
After the dough is shaped, the individual pieces (dough pieces) are placed on trays, which are then loaded onto racks (dough trolleys). These racks are subsequently moved into the fermentation room to undergo the final proofing stage. The proofing chamber creates the necessary conditions, including precise temperature and humidity levels, ensuring optimal dough development.
The processed doughs are transferred into the Fermentation Chamber by means of dough trolley and fermented under controlled environment of heat and humidity, after that the dough is ready for baking. It can be provided as stainless steel or aluminum models depending on the request. All the Fermentation Chambers are completely insulated. It's suitable to use with steam generator. Fermentation Chamber is also called the Fermentation Room, Fermentation Compartment and Fermentation Cabinet.
Steam Supply in the Proofing Chamber
The required steam inside the proofer is supplied either by a steam generator (steam unit) or from the oven itself. If a dedicated steam generator is used, the proofing chamber is equipped with a control system that allows for turning the generator on and off, adjusting temperature and steam levels, and includes a display to monitor the room's temperature.
If the steam is supplied by a large multi-deck oven, the proofing chamber may not require a separate steam generator due to the oven's inherent steam production capabilities. However, if a rotary rack oven is used, the proofer must be equipped with a steam generator and a dedicated control system to maintain the appropriate humidity.
Types of Fermentation Cabinet
Proofing chambers are manufactured in various sizes, and their capacity is determined by the number of racks they can accommodate. MBICO offers proofing chambers with capacities ranging from one to sixteen racks, providing customers with a wide selection to suit their specific production needs. These proofers are built using high-quality materials and advanced technology to ensure maximum performance and durability.
The proofer's body is constructed as a double-walled structure using sandwich panels with either double-sided stainless steel or a combination of stainless steel on one side and galvanized steel on the other. This configuration can be customized based on the customer's preferences. Additionally, the proofing chamber can be manufactured with either single or double doors equipped with tempered glass, allowing for visual monitoring of the fermentation process.

Advantages of Using a Proofing Chamber
In the production of many types of bread, especially flatbreads, challenges such as the absence of final fermentation, insufficient fermentation time, difficulty controlling temperature during hot seasons, and inconsistent temperature and steam distribution are common. Using standard proofing chambers can address these issues and provide optimal conditions for producing high-quality, healthier bread.
Precise Environmental Control
The proofing chamber allows for precise control of temperature, humidity, and steam, which is essential for optimal fermentation.
Reduced Waste
By precisely controlling fermentation conditions, the likelihood of problems such as incomplete or excessive fermentation is reduced, leading to less waste.
Improved Final Product Quality
Precise control of fermentation conditions results in a final product with improved texture, flavor, and aroma.
Accelerated Fermentation Process
Providing ideal conditions accelerates the fermentation process, leading to increased productivity and reduced production time.
Increased Bread Volume
Suitable fermentation conditions increase the volume of the bread and improve its appearance.
Precise Monitoring
Display and control systems allow for easy monitoring of the fermentation process and necessary adjustments

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Fermentation Cabinet
What are some common names for a fermentation room/proofing chamber?
Our customers refer to them by various names, including:
- Proofing Oven
- Steam Room
- Final Fermentation Chamber
- Proofer
- Proofing Cabinet
What types of businesses and doughs are proofing chambers suitable for?
Proofing chambers are ideal for:
- bakeries
- Large-scale bakeries producing traditional breads
- Confectioneries
- Any establishment requiring dough resting and fermentation in a humid environment.
They are suitable for various dough types, including those used for bread, pastries, and other baked goods that require proofing.
How is a proofing chamber installed?
Installation is straightforward. Simply place the unit in the desired location. No special installation work is typically required.
What type of electrical power is required for a proofing chamber equipped with a steam unit?
Proofing chambers with steam units can be manufactured for either single-phase or three-phase power, depending on the customer's needs and available electrical supply.
What is the body of the proofing chamber made of?
The body of the proofing chamber is constructed from sandwich panels. These panels are either double-sided stainless steel or a combination of stainless steel on one side and galvanized steel on the other.
How many models of proofing chambers are produced?
MBICOs offers two main types of proofing chambers:
- Proofing chambers equipped with a steam unit.
- Proofing chambers without a steam unit (designed to utilize steam from another source, such as a multi-deck oven).
We offer a wide range of sizes, with capacities ranging from one rack to sixteen racks. Units can be manufactured as single, fully assembled units or in modular sections for easier transport and assembly on site.
Is it possible to manufacture multi-section proofing chambers?
While our standard proofing chambers are manufactured as single, fully assembled units, we can also produce multi-section units upon customer request. These are sometimes referred to as "bolt-together" proofing chambers.
