3 Essential Pieces of Equipment for Your Small Business Bakery

Everyone loves the made-from-scratch taste of everything you make at your local bakery, but owning a business baking means you don’t have time to make everything from scratch. Having the right industrial equipment for your business can save you time and hassle, automating the things that should be automated so you can focus on the things that can’t, like making a connection with your customers. Here are three pieces of equipment every small business bakery must have.

1: Bread Moulders

Quality and consistency are key when it comes to your baked bread, and a bread moulder can provide both. An industrial bread moulder saves time by automatically dividing and shaping the bread dough you bake every day, allowing you to expand your daily production or freeing up you and your staff to focus on other things.

Bread moulders come in a range of sizes, with options that work for small, local boutique bakeries, so you can customize the shapes and sizes and improve efficiencies on all your baked breads. Be sure to choose a moulder that provides you with the ability to customize using just a single piece of equipment (since you may not have room for multiple bread moulders in your small bakery). In addition, check for safety and sanitation measures like stainless steel construction and washable moulding plate fabric before you buy.

2: Industrial Mixers

Industrial strength mixers like the M line from Escher are essential for any bakery business. These mixers provide you with the capacity to bake for a crowd, as well as features that make your life easier, like two-way bowl rotation, dual belts for added power, and automatic timers. The stainless-steel construction and infrared temperature measurement features make it easy to clean and sanitary to use for all your baking needs.

3: Oven Racks

A third item to add to your local bakery is one or more oven racks. These racks come in a variety of sizes and configurations, including custom sizes and options built by Dough Tech, to store all your baked goods before, during, and after cooking. With welded steel construction and side- or end-loading options for 10 to 60 pans that will fit in any oven brand, the right oven racks make baking and storing all your delicious treats a breeze.
