Revent PR132-168 66 In. Four Single or Two Double Rack Roll-In Proofer/Retarder, PID Temperature and Humidity Control, Electromagnetic Steam Generator

SKUPR132-168 PROOFER/RETARDER BrandRevent

The Revent PR132-168 PROOFER/RETARDER Roll-In Retarder/Proofer

Bakeries rarely run one rack size, and the Revent PR132-168 is built for that reality: four single racks in either printed size, or two doubles, load into the same 66.1 in. wide chamber. Three loading layouts are drawn on the specification sheet, so rack traffic can be confirmed before the cabinet is set. PID regulation keeps temperature and humidity even across all four rack positions, and any value from 27 to 113 °F is a legitimate set point, which is what lets one box retard shaped dough overnight and then proof it on a programmed curve for a 5 a.m. bake. Frozen dough thaws on the same curves, though holding product frozen for days is outside what this version does. At 52 in. deep the cabinet needs a leveled floor, a 208 to 220 V three phase supply at 20 A, cold water, and a 1 1/2 in. NPT drain.

Retarding, Slow Proofing, and Thawing in One Chamber

One chamber covers overnight storage, slow proofing at low temperature, and thawing on pre-programmed curves, and four racks is usually where a bakery starts scheduling those stages against each other. Shaped sourdough can go in at the cold end after the last mix, then step up on a curve timed to the oven. Splitting the stages across a retarder and a proof box costs you a rack move and a temperature shock in the middle of the night, while running them in place costs neither.

PID-Regulated Temperature and Humidity

A programmable touch screen carries both the temperature and the humidity setting, and optimized PID regulation holds them without the wide cycling that drives energy use up over a twelve hour retard. Fan speed is computer controlled in 200 steps and coordinated with the PID system, which is what keeps a four rack load from proofing faster at the front than at the back. Humidity can be injected while the chamber is cold, so dough held overnight does not develop a skin before it ever sees proofing temperature.

Electromagnetic Steam Generator

Steam is raised electromagnetically, and the steam container holds no mechanical or electrical parts, which removes the components that normally scale up and fail in a humidity system. An internal nozzle discharges after the fan and the temperature elements, so moisture arrives already blended into tempered air. Cold water is never sent into the chamber, closing the path that waterborne bacteria take in direct cold water systems, and the generator drains itself.

Roll-In Capacity for Four Singles or Two Doubles

The chamber takes four single racks at 18 by 28.5 in. or 20.5 by 26 in., or two double racks at 36 by 28.5 in., through a 58.8 by 76.7 in. two door opening. Exterior width is 66.1 in. on a 52 in. deep cabinet, with 2 in. of projection at the front, 7.3 in. at the rear, and 3.5 in. for door hardware, so an alcove has to be measured against more than the cabinet body. Overall height is 100 in. above a 76.7 in. cabinet, the base clears the floor by 6.1 in., and the drain leaves at a 63 in. height.

Stainless Steel Cabinet with Integrated Refrigeration

Stainless steel inside and out, a double pane glass window, and an LED light that reaches the back of the chamber make load checks quick without breaking the set point. Cooling comes from an integrated condensing unit running R449 refrigerant for compliance with current air quality rules, which keeps the refrigeration package on the cabinet instead of on a remote rack. Set the unit on a leveled floor, keep 2 in. between it and any wall, and leave the front and top clear for service and ventilation. An insulated and heated floor is offered as an option.

    About Proofing & Holding Cabinets

    A commercial proofing and holding cabinet is an insulated, heated cabinet with two jobs. As a proofer cabinet, it holds bread and pastry dough at the warm humid temperature needed for the final rise. As a commercial holding cabinet, it holds prepared hot food at safe serving temperature. Bakeries use these as bread proofing cabinets through the final rise before baking. Restaurants, catering kitchens, and cafeterias use them to hold cooked food at 140°F or above between production and service. Many cabinets in this collection do both jobs in one unit.

    The right commercial proofing and holding cabinet depends on your kitchen volume, the products you are holding, and whether you need proofing capability. Proofer-only models run at warm temperatures with humidity for dough. Holding-only models run at higher temperatures for cooked food. Combination models switch between the two for kitchens that need both.

    Every cabinet in this collection is electric and built for daily commercial use. Common configurations, buying guidance, and the questions buyers ask most often follow below.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Combination proofing and holding cabinet: Single unit that switches between proofing dough and holding hot food. The most common format in this collection. Useful for bakeries that also serve hot prepared items.
    • Holding cabinet: Heated cabinet for cooked food only, no proofing function. Common in restaurant and catering kitchens that don't bake on-site.
    • Insulated cabinet: Better temperature stability and lower energy use. The standard choice for most commercial operations.
    • Non-insulated cabinet: Lower purchase cost. For lower-volume use or operations where the cabinet runs only during shifts.
    • Full size or half size: Full size cabinets accommodate full sheet pans (18 by 26 inches). Half size models fit smaller spaces and use half-size pans.
    • Undercounter cabinet: Compact unit that fits below a prep counter. For tight kitchens where floor-standing units would block the line.
    • Clear door or solid door: Clear door lets staff check product without opening the cabinet, reducing heat loss. Solid door holds temperature slightly better.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Temperature range: Catalog units run between 80 and 207°F at the cabinet interior. Confirm the unit you pick covers both your proofing range (80 to 110°F) and your holding range (140°F or above) if you need both functions.
    • Pan capacity: Match the cabinet to your peak production. Common sizes range from 8 pans up to 24 pans. Half-size pan slots double the count for smaller pans.
    • Humidity control: Required for proofing dough. Several models in the catalog include humidity control. Holding-only operations do not need it.
    • Insulated vs non-insulated: Insulated cabinets hold temperature longer with less energy and are the standard choice. Non-insulated saves on purchase price for lower-volume use.
    • Door style: Clear door for visual product checks; solid door for slightly better temperature retention. Tempered glass is standard on modern clear-door units.
    • Voltage: Most cabinets run on 120V single-phase. Larger or higher-output units run on 208 to 240V. Check the spec sheet before ordering.
    • Mobile or floor mount: Mobile units roll between the bakery and the front of the line. Floor-mount units sit in fixed kitchen positions.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between a proofing cabinet and a holding cabinet?

    A proofing cabinet holds bread and pastry dough at warm humid temperatures (typically 80 to 110°F with controlled humidity) so yeast can complete the final rise before baking. A holding cabinet holds already-cooked food at safe serving temperature (140°F or above) between production and service. The two functions need different temperature ranges and different humidity levels. Combination cabinets do both jobs by switching modes, which is why most cabinets in this collection are dual-purpose proofing and holding units.

    What temperature should a heated holding cabinet hold?

    The US Food Code requires hot food to be held at 135°F or above to prevent bacterial growth in the temperature danger zone. Most commercial heated holding cabinets are set between 140 and 180°F at the cabinet interior. Cabinets in this collection support temperature ranges up to 207°F for higher-temp holding needs. Match the setpoint to the food you are holding: meats and gravies hold at 140 to 160°F; baked goods and breakfast items hold cooler, around 140 to 150°F.

    What is a combination proofing and holding cabinet used for?

    A combination cabinet switches between proofing dough and holding hot food, which lets one piece of equipment cover two distinct kitchen needs. Bakeries with full menus use it to proof bread and pastry overnight, then hold prepared breakfast items the next morning. Restaurants with in-house bread programs use it to proof rolls during prep, then hold hot side dishes during dinner service. The combination format saves floor space and capital cost compared to buying separate proofing and holding units.
