Revent PR180-144 57 In. Five Single or Two Double Rack Roll-In Proofer/Retarder, PID Temperature and Humidity Control, Electromagnetic Steam Generator

SKUPR180-144 PROOFER/RETARDER BrandRevent

The Revent PR180-144 PROOFER/RETARDER Roll-In Retarder/Proofer

The Revent PR180-144 holds five single racks or two doubles in a cabinet that is deeper than it is wide, 56.7 in. across and 70.9 in. front to back, which is the shape that fits when wall length is the scarce dimension in a bake shop. Five positions also suit a staggered bake-off, since one rack can leave for the oven while the remaining four keep proofing at the same set point. The printed operating band runs 27 to 113 °F under PID control of both temperature and humidity, so shaped rye can sit cold from the close of production until a programmed curve brings it to proof temperature for the morning. Thawing frozen dough belongs to that same repertoire, while extended frozen storage does not. Installation needs a leveled floor, a 208 to 220 V three phase circuit at 19 A, cold water, and a 1 1/2 in. NPT drain.

Retarding, Slow Proofing, and Thawing in One Chamber

Retarding overnight, proofing slowly at low temperature, and thawing frozen product on pre-programmed curves are three separate rooms in some bakeries and one cabinet here. Program the curve once and the chamber does the rest, holding shaped dough cold through the small hours and lifting it to proof temperature on a clock set at the end of the previous shift. Nobody has to wheel a loaded rack from a cold room to a proof box, which is where dough usually picks up a draft and a skin.

PID-Regulated Temperature and Humidity

The touch screen control panel is programmable, shows temperature and humidity together, and hands both to optimized PID regulation that holds the target rather than cycling around it, a real energy line item on a cabinet that runs all night. Working with it is a computer controlled fan of 200 speed steps, gentle enough for delicate pieces at retarding temperature and strong enough to even out five racks at proof. Adding humidity during cold storage is allowed, so dough that waits does not skin.

Electromagnetic Steam Generator

The steam generator is electromagnetic, meaning nothing mechanical or electrical sits inside the steam container where scale and corrosion normally end the life of a humidity system. Its nozzle is mounted in the chamber after the fan and the temperature elements, so steam is picked up by tempered moving air instead of landing on the nearest tray. Cold water never enters the chamber directly, which is the sanitary difference between this arrangement and a direct cold water system, and the generator drains on its own.

Roll-In Capacity for Five Singles or Two Doubles

Five single racks at 18 by 28.5 in. or 20.5 by 26 in., or two double racks at 36 by 28.5 in., roll through a 49.4 by 76.7 in. two door opening. Three loading layouts are printed on the sheet, and all of them fit the same 56.7 by 70.9 in. footprint, plus 2 in. of projection at the front, 7.3 in. at the rear, and 3.5 in. for door hardware. Overall height is 100 in. above a 76.7 in. cabinet, the base sits 6.1 in. off the floor, and the drain exits at a 63 in. height, which usually decides where the floor sink goes.

Stainless Steel Cabinet with Integrated Refrigeration

Both the interior and the exterior are stainless steel, the doors carry double pane glass, and an LED light lets you read the color of a proofing load without opening anything. An integrated condensing unit running R449 refrigerant sits on the cabinet, so the refrigeration work is done before the unit arrives and no line set has to reach a remote rack. The floor must be level, at least 2 in. of clearance is needed from any wall, and the front and top stay open for service and ventilation. An insulated and heated floor can be specified 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.
