Sitep blast chillers for bakeries

Sitep blast chillers take dough, pastry and baked goods down to temperature fast, so they keep their structure, moisture and flavour. Freeze a batch today and bake it fresh later in the week, or build stock ahead of a busy weekend. The range runs from a compact 5-tray cabinet to roll-in rooms that take four full trolleys.

Why bakers choose Sitep

Less damage to the dough

Freezing fast keeps ice crystals small, so products hold their structure when they’re thawed and baked.

Even cooling

Air circulates evenly over every tray, so the top shelf and the bottom shelf come out the same.

Plan production, not night shifts

Make ahead and freeze, then bake to order. That flattens peaks and cuts early starts.

Blast chiller FAQs

A fridge holds food that’s already cold. A blast chiller pulls freshly made or baked product down to temperature quickly, which protects texture and food safety. Most Sitep units can both chill (to a positive temperature) and freeze.

If you load trays by hand, a tray cabinet (5 to 16 trays) suits most craft bakeries. If you bake on racks, a trolley blast chiller lets you wheel the whole rack in straight from the oven.

The P5 and P8 tray cabinets run on 230 V single-phase. Larger models need 400 V three-phase. We check your supply during the site survey.
