By using durable materials such as cast iron and stainless steel, the company guarantees the robustness and efficiency of its equipment. In addition, FELINO bakery and pastry machines incorporate specifications such as timed kneading cycles and automatic switching from 1st to 2nd speed, which in the case of the fork kneader, improves the efficiency of the process without compromising the quality of the end products.

Fermentation is a natural process in which microorganisms present in the environment, such as yeasts, bacteria and other microorganisms, consume starches and complex forms of sugars in the flour and water mixture and transform them into gases, volatile compounds and other products. This process gives bread its volume, texture, aroma, flavour and colour.
However, in order to achieve a quality fermentation process, it is necessary to control the temperature of the fermentation process.
Most microorganisms ferment bread at temperatures between 25°C and 35°C. At this temperature, they are active, consume food, produce gases and ferment quickly. For example, baguette with 1% of organic yeast will have a fermentation time of around 1 hour and 30 minutes or less under these conditions. Higher temperatures can cause fermentation to take place too quickly, resulting in an uneven texture and flavour of the bread. Lower temperatures can result in slow fermentation, leading to an under-fermented product. In both cases, we can obtain a tasteless product with a lack of flavour and aroma.
To control the temperature of your process, you can adjust the ambient temperature, increase the time from the first to the second fermentation, add water with temperature variation or more yeast. However, baking machines can help to ensure that the fermentation process is carried out correctly.
FELINO kneaders are high-quality machines with automatic control of the working time and adjustable speed, which contributes to a production process with the right temperature to achieve the best fermentation process. The small diameter centre cone bowl also ensures that all the dough is worked by the fork, which also makes it possible to produce small quantities of dough.

The pine cone is perfect for preparing light doughs, creating the perfect light and fluffy texture for egg whites, meringues, soufflés and other toppings. The paddle, on the other hand, is the ideal choice for creamy, consistent doughs, such as choux pastry, where you don't want air bubbles to form. And for denser doughs, the hook is your best bet, ideal for confections such as pies or even pizza dough.
