The oven bakes your dough to perfection.
But the oven-fresh taste actually comes from refrigeration.

For many consumers, oven-fresh variety is the most important feature of a bakery. As soon as they enter your bakery, your customers want to be greeted by an abundance of delicious baked goods and the irresistible aroma of crusty bread and freshly baked rolls. But we owe the ability to offer fresh baked goods at practically any time of day or night not only to the oven itself, but above all to bakery refrigeration - as paradoxical as that may sound.

Bakery refrigeration:
the key to flexibility, efficiency and quality

This is because bakery refrigeration technology enables dough preparation and baking to be decoupled in terms of time and space, which is what makes the constant availability of a wide range of products and baking directly in the branch possible in the first place. However, in addition to simplifying operational processes and the possibility of reducing night work, which is unattractive for employees and expensive for you, refrigeration technology offers another decisive advantage that is increasingly becoming the focus of bakers: the targeted increase in product quality by means of skilful control of temperature, humidity and time.

Bakery refrigeration:
A job for the experts

However, effectively utilising the opportunities and possibilities of bakery refrigeration requires far more than just refrigeration technology - namely a deep understanding of the characteristics of the raw material dough, the processes and procedures used and, of course, the workflows during the final baking process - whether in production or in the shop. As a full-service provider, MIWE has the know-how, expertise and experience needed to offer holistic solutions that are better (and can do more) than just the sum of their individual parts.

MIWE. Your expert partner for process cooling and bakery refrigeration technology

In order for the refrigeration systems in your bakery to fully exploit their advantages, i.e. to simplify your work processes, ensure optimum capacity utilisation and efficiency and even improve product quality, you need a solution tailored to your business and your requirements. MIWE's refrigeration experts determine these on the basis of a precise requirements profile that takes into account your baked goods (range, individual products, quantities, processes), your operational processes (shift systems, etc.), your spatial conditions, your business organisation (number and spatial distribution of branches, frequency of deliveries) and existing systems as well as the available budget. Based on this, we develop the solution which best suits your needs and simplifies your workflows as much as possible. It goes without saying that our product range in the field of bakery refrigeration technology includes all components for cooling, storing, proofing or freezing and therefore perfectly covers all conceivable processes and types of dough handling.

Co2 cooling: Everyone's talking about it, we're just doing it - and have been for almost 10 years.

Word has probably gotten around by now that the use of Co2 refrigeration systems in bakeries has numerous advantages. Regardless of whether you are considering switching to natural refrigerants in order to fulfil the requirements of the F-Gas Regulation or for reasons of environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, operational safety or durability - such a far-reaching change always raises numerous questions and problems. It's a good thing that we at MIWE can look back on almost a decade of experience and numerous successful projects of all sizes. Perhaps your bakery will soon be one of them?

Innovative technologies open up unimagined possibilities.

We have also developed pioneering technologies in the field of bakery refrigeration thanks to our in-depth knowledge of processes and our constant endeavours to make life easier for the world's bakers. Some, such as the frosting baking method developed by Prof Edgar M. Wenz at the end of the 1980s and now established worldwide, have become indispensable in the bakery industry. Other technologies, such as the MIWE smartfresh presented at Südback 2022, are just at the beginning of this successful course; our refrigeration specialists are currently working with our master bakers and dough technologists on a few more. It's all so exciting!
