Vacuum conditioning –
Freshness and tender crispness throughout the day

Vacuum technology continues to gain ground. Rapid cooling after baking by vacuuming enables long-lasting freshness, a tender crust and perfect crispness throughout the day. With the top product WP VACUSPEED® vacuum cooling, WP BAKERY TECHNOLOGIES meets the demands of the baking industry for more economy and efficiency.

Vacuum technology opens up interesting perspectives for bakeries, because time- and labor-intensive in-store baking is being replaced by new, considerably more efficient processes: small bakery items are baked in the central production facility, but with a baking time reduced by up to 30 percent.

We offer VACUSPEED® cells with revolving or sliding door or as an airlock solution with two sliding doors to accommodate rack trolleys. VACUSPEED® artisan has been designed to accommodate rack trolleys. After completing the baking process, for example in a ROTOTHERM® Green rack oven, the rack trolley is manually loaded into the VACUSPEED® vacuum cell.

GOAL: Optimum and long-lasting freshness in the branch store with reduced effort to save energy and working time.
