Proofing technology in the bakery - the key to quality, efficiency and sustainability
By using modern cooling and freezing systems, bakeries can extend the shelf life of their products, improve taste and consistency and optimize the entire production process. These technologies are not only important for the storage of raw materials such as butter, milk and eggs, but are also essential for special baking processes such as dough management and proofing.
An effective cooling system in a bakery helps to precisely control the desired temperatures, which is of the utmost importance for the consistency and quality of the end products. In addition, modern refrigeration technology enables flexible production and planning, as doughs can be prepared and kept refrigerated overnight or over longer periods of time without compromising quality.
In today's world, where energy efficiency and sustainability are becoming increasingly important, bakeries are also faced with the challenge of making their refrigeration technology as environmentally friendly as possible. Innovative solutions such as CO2-neutral cooling systems or the use of natural refrigerants are therefore becoming increasingly important.
Investing in high-quality proofing and refrigeration technology is therefore an important decision for bakeries, which not only contributes to quality assurance, but also to increasing the efficiency and sustainability of the business. We offer you all the necessary products from a single source, from blast freezers to fully automatic proofers or climate-controlled proofing chambers.

FAQ - Questions and answers about fermentation and refrigeration products from DEBAG
Are the refrigeration systems "equipped" for the future?
arrow_forward_iosYes, DEBAG's refrigeration systems are future-proof. They use modern and environmentally friendly refrigerants that meet current legal requirements and will also comply with future directives.
Do you also offer CO2 systems?
arrow_forward_iosYes, DEBAG also offers CO2 systems. Get in touch with us!
Which refrigerants are currently in use? What happens after the transition period?
arrow_forward_iosR449A and R290 (propane) are currently used. After the transition period, R449A will no longer be used, but the systems that still have this refrigerant are protected and can therefore continue to be maintained. After the transition period, natural refrigerants will be used.
Which refrigerant is still permitted and for how long? Will I still be able to get it after 2026?
arrow_forward_iosThe currently used refrigerant R449A can still be used until 2030, with the exception of GUV1, which may only use this refrigerant until 2025.
From what size can CO2 be used?
arrow_forward_iosThe choice of natural refrigerant is user-specific, which is why the size of the system can vary.
Is the use of CO2 also applicable for GUV?
arrow_forward_iosYes, CO2 can be used for the GUV. Here too, the design is user-specific and therefore also the selection of the natural refrigerant.
Which refrigerants will we use in the future?
arrow_forward_iosIn future, natural refrigerants will be used, as these are not affected by existing and future regulations.
Can existing systems be converted to new (permitted) refrigerants?
arrow_forward_iosYes, it is possible to retrofit existing systems.
