The latest Crystal range of products from Williams Refrigeration are designed to support the busy demands of modern bakeries. The range features reach-in retarders, provers, freezers and dough retarder provers (DRPs), with models that can be programmed to suit the specific needs of both bread and pastry.
They have been reengineered to offer even more user-friendly controls than their predecessors, as well as highly accurate temperature and humidity control, helping bakers achieve consistent, high-quality dough results. Meanwhile their energy efficient operation reduces the carbon footprint and minimises running costs.
All the Crystal products are available in one- and two-door formats and all run on natural refrigerant, which not only enhances their energy efficiency but also makes them a greener choice, since they have low GWP (Global Warming Potential) and zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential).
The DRPs are the Crystal range’s most high profile models. Designed to make the baker’s life easier, they utilise the DoughMaster 5 touchscreen controller, which features an intuitive menu system that makes it easy to select programs. Users can also customise the controller and create bespoke programs to suit their needs. The system allows users to assign a large image library to each program, for easy identification of the product recipe.
The Crystal’s Doughmaster controller ensures precise humidity and temperature control throughout the retarding and proving processes, preventing issues such as the skinning of dough and creating the ideal conditions for it to rise. The bread and pastry DRPs each have dedicated programs, appropriate for the conditions their doughs require.
The enhanced energy efficiency has meant that Willams’ engineering team have been able to reduce power load to such an extent that even the two door DRP runs off a 13 amp supply. This makes installation simpler, allowing Crystal models to be easily integrated into existing bakeries and kitchens in a diverse range of businesses.
This updated technology has been seamlessly combined with a sleek look, featuring elements such as a full length, integral handle. This enhances the aesthetics of the unit while also helping to improve hygiene by making it easy to clean.
