Consistent quality in every bake

Precise humidity control prevents dough from drying or becoming sticky, ensuring consistent texture, volume, and crust. By maintaining ideal relative humidity in proofing, baking, and storage areas, bakeries avoid cracking, staling, and quality loss. Condair systems create the perfect climate for bread, pastries, and specialty products, improving product reputation and customer satisfaction.

Maximize efficiency and reduce waste

Humidity control minimises ingredient and product losses by keeping dough hydrated and baked goods at their full weight. Faster proofing and controlled baking reduce production time and energy use. Condair solutions help bakeries of all sizes improve workflow, minimise waste, and increase profitability with reliable and precise climate control.

Longer freshness and shelf life

Stable humidity conditions slow down staling and prevent mould. Bread, cakes, and pastries retain their moisture, taste, and texture longer, reducing returns and waste. With Condair humidification and dehumidification, bakeries can extend product shelf life, maintain customer trust, and gain a competitive edge in freshness.

Healthy, safe and dust-free workplace

Airbourne flour and sugar dust can cause health risks, allergies, and equipment damage. Humidification can reduce dust by up to 65%, protecting employees and improving hygiene compliance. Cleaner air lowers maintenance costs and ensures a safer, healthier, and more productive work environment, benefiting both staff and products.

Energy-efficient hygienic solutions

Condair offers adiabatic humidifiers for low-energy evaporative cooling and hygienic steam systems for ovens and production areas. All solutions comply with strict hygiene standards and reduce operational costs. Certified water treatment ensures safe, sustainable, and reliable performance in bakery environments.
