Unlike general bakery equipment dealers, EBPE works directly with CFI’s European factory and is the only authorized channel for purchasing CFI equipment with full US compliance support, factory warranty, and certified installation in the United States.

Does CFI equipment work with US electrical standards?

Yes. All CFI equipment sold through EBPE is fully pre-configured for US electrical standards: 208V or 220V at 60Hz, in single-phase or three-phase. No conversions are needed. EBPE never ships European-spec units (230V / 400V – 50Hz) to US customers.

Is CFI equipment NSF and ETL certified for the US market?

EBPE provides complete certification documentation with every sale, ensuring your equipment passes local health inspections in all 50 states.

What is the difference between a retarder proofer and a fermentation cabinet?

Both terms refer to the same category of equipment: a unit that controls temperature and humidity to slow down (retard) or accelerate (proof) the fermentation of bread dough. “Retarder proofer” is the standard industry term in the US and UK; “fermentation cabinet” or “armoire de fermentation” is more commonly used in French-speaking markets. CFI manufactures both cabinet-format units (AFB68, AFC68, AFC108, Ever Blue) and walk-in chamber configurations for larger operations.
