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.
