Who Sitep are
Sitep was founded in Voghiera, in the province of Ferrara, in 1982, and today trades as SITEP Italian Bakery Solutions. It builds for craft bakeries and industrial producers alike, sizing machines to each customer. More on Sitep’s own site.
The Sitep range
Roll-in retarder prover rooms (Sitep says "proofers") hold dough cold, then prove it on a timed program, ready for your shift. Also cabinets, under-counter benches, Monoblock units that convert an existing room, and sourdough fermenters.
Sitep water chillers hold dough water at a set temperature from +1°C, floor-standing or wall-mounted. Sitep water meters put the right quantity of water into the mixer, at the right temperature.
Sitep blast chillers run from 5-tray cabinets to roll-in units that take whole trolleys, down to -40°C.
