Producing traditional high-quality baked goods with sourdough using modern technology.

Our small-scale fermenter Petit Levain supports bakeries in the production of traditional baked goods. These tanks can be used in the development of new products, or in the manufacture of specialty products outside of your standard production system. We offer four model sizes with 500, 300, 150 and 80 liters to suit your specific needs. As a mobile device the fermenter is ready for use at any time and can be flexibly integrated into your work processes.

Two programs with multi-stage temperature control are available for daily production. The control displays the current product temperature, target product temperature, current program step, and remaining operating time left in the program. The fermentation program can be easily adapted to special and seasonal products through proper programming.
Our aim is to offer you a high-quality technical device that is easy to use and clean daily. Through your recipes and specifications, you determine the type and complexity of your sourdough. The Petit Levain offers a controlled environment to provide you with consistent product every day.
