Fermentation Systems

Topos a.s. manufactures systems for fermentation and sourdough production, including all-stainless steel sourdough makers (Fermenters) and tanks for fermentation processes and storage in many types, designs, and capacities.
The fermentation system consists of single or dual-jacketed vessels for cooling or heating, equipped with an electric gearmotor agitator drive located above or below, to suit the customer’s preference.
The mixing system may vary depending on the specific type and recipe of the ferment (sourdough). The most common solution is a system with intensive mixing in the sourdough maker (Fermenter) and only slow, gentle mixing with scraping of the side walls to separate CO₂ in the fermentation tanks.
The vessels stand on height-adjustable levelling feet and are enclosed with a cover (to be optionally hermetically sealed, on request).
Depending on the capacity and overall height, access to the top of each vessel is provided by a S/S platform with sanitary stairs and safety railing.
The unit can be equipped with either a simple START/STOP switch or fully programmable digital controls. The entire system, including the sourdough maker (Fermenter) and any number of fermentation tanks, can also be fully integrated and controlled within an automatic dough production line.
The vessel, agitator assembly, and frame structure are made entirely of high quality stainless-steel.
The fermented product is transported from the vessel by a stainless-steel screw pump. The vessels and distribution pipes can be equipped with an automatic cleaning system as well.
The basic capacities and dimensions of the sourdough makers (Fermenters) are as follows:
