At Empire, we pride ourselves on being able to build better bakeries over the past 45 years. We know a thing or two about how to put together a successful new bakery and also how to upgrade existing bakeries. Our years of experience and expertise allow us to suggest the proper layout and the necessary equipment to make a bakery a profitable one. We can argue that having the right equipment is the most important part of building a successful bakery or restaurant. Without the right equipment, your bakery will struggle to keep up with demand and not produce consistent products efficiently. Here are some of the best pieces of equipment for bakery success.

Every successful bakery needs a reliable mixer. Luckily, Empire offers one of the most popular and reliable mixers in the industry. The IRIS Spiral Mixer offers precision mixing controls and maximum consistency. It’s coordinated 2-speed spiral and bowl rotation system provides optimal ingredient blending and dough development. Great baking starts with a great mixer, and having the IRIS in your facility will ensure that you get a quality and consistent dough each and every mix.

Now that you have your dough, it's time to automate your dough production. One of the most beneficial things you can add to your bakery is automating your dough production processes. Manually dividing, rounding, moulding and sheeting your dough is a time-consuming and laborious process that involves a team of bakers to keep up with demand. Manual production can often lead to inconsistency in the product as well.

Empire offers a variety of dough dividers, dough divider rounders, bread moulders and dough sheeters that can help automate and speed up production and ensure maximum quality and consistency. Think of it this way, it would take 3 or 4 bakers to keep up with the production of an Empire Dough Divider. At the touch of a button, you can get up to 80 dough divisions or 52 dough rounds in seconds! Don’t let the speed of production fool you. Quicker does not mean lower quality. Not only will you increase and speed up production but your quality and consistency will be immaculate.

For those bakeries that sheet dough for pastries, pies and more, you should not be using a roller to sheet your dough. Not only is this a huge waste of precious time, but it is also an absolute chore! Our reversible dough sheeters are just the thing your bakery needs to streamline your bakery needs to be more efficient. Less time sheeting is more time and energy spent on perfecting your recipes and ensuring the highest quality products are offered in your shop.

And last but most definitely not least, equipping your facility with a good oven is the final piece needed on our list of must-have equipment for bakery success. The oven is the final stage of baking and where the product meets its final form. You don’t want to perfect every stage and then ruin it on a poor bake. Empire Deck Ovens mix modern technology with old-world baking techniques to produce the highest quality artisan products. The variety of sizes offered allow any bakery or restaurant of any size to equip their store with a quality deck oven.

There is a reason why Empire has been building better bakeries for over 45 years. Our experience and expertise has allowed us to put together an all-star roster of bakery equipment that will help create an efficient and high-quality facility that produces consistent and top-tier baked goods for customers to enjoy. So if you are planning to open a new bakery or looking to upgrade your current facility, Empire is your go-to for equipment and more!
