Clauger: Your trusted Partner in air treatment for the baking industry 🥐

Product Quality and Hygiene: Showcasing Our Expertise in Proofing Chambers

In industrial baking processes, the proofing chamber plays a critical role in ensuring the quality and consistency of the final product. With over 50 years of experience in industrial refrigeration and air treatment, Clauger designs tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of industrial bakeries, pastry, and viennoiserie lines.

Mastering Air Means Mastering Fermentation

By precisely controlling temperature (±0.5°C) and humidity (±3% RH), Clauger’s proofing chambers ensure optimal fermentation without product drying or sticking. Our textile duct air induction technology prevents cold spots and stratification, providing uniform conditions across all product levels.

Real-World Results:

  • Uniform fermentation: On a pure butter viennoiserie line, our textile duct system enabled even fermentation across all spiral conveyor levels, delivering consistent product quality.
  • Optimized performance: On bun production lines, our audits revealed and corrected humidity variations between conveyor levels, optimizing the temperature ramp-up and achieving fermentation targets mid-proofing. This resulted in a 40% reduction in steam consumption—a significant gain in both sustainability and operational efficiency.

Clauger’s solutions also integrate advanced features such as cold blocking and post-wash drying, ensuring uninterrupted, hygienic production conditions.

Air: A Lever for Performance and Hygiene

Clauger goes further by integrating hygiene as a core engineering principle. Uncontrolled air environments can lead to microbial contamination. That’s why we design air management systems with overpressure, pressure cascades, and buffer zones to secure every critical area.

Our proprietary E-Streaming technology monitors and manages airflows in real time. Any reversal is instantly detected and corrected. From proofing to cooling and packaging zones, we maintain traceable, controlled, and hygienic conditions that comply with the highest food safety standards.

Clauger Equipment: Designed & Manufactured for Food Processing

We engineer our solutions for washability, safety, and performance. Whether it’s proofing tunnels, cooling systems, spiral freezer conveyors, or air handling units, our equipment is:

  • Constructed in stainless steel
  • Fully washable and easy to clean
  • Built for long-term durability and performance

This attention to detail ensures seamless integration into food production environments, supporting our clients in maintaining hygiene, safety, and product integrity.
