Wet dough above roughly 70% hydration needs low-stress dividing and gentle transfer — aggressive mechanical pressure damages gas structure and open crumb. Grosmac configures ciabatta and rustic bread equipment from Spain.
Best for ciabatta and rustic bread
Protect open crumb structure while controlling portions and tray placement.
Less manual handling
Automation helps reduce deformation and variability in sticky dough.
Configured to your dough
Hydration, fermentation, output and space define the recommended setup.
Share hydration and product
Tell us hydration range, dough rest, target shape and daily production.
Review line handling
We check dividing, cutting, resting and panning needs before proposing equipment.
Quote the right configuration
You receive a route based on the dough, not a generic catalogue answer.

Frequent technical questions
Why is high hydration dough harder to automate?
It is stickier and easier to damage, so dividing and transfer need to be gentle and configured to the actual product.
Can automatic panning be added?
Yes, depending on tray format, product shape and required output.
Can I test my dough before ordering?
Yes. Send samples or arrange a trial at our workshop near Valencia so dividing and panning are validated with your recipe.
Planning a high hydration dough line?
Send hydration, fermentation time and hourly output — our engineers will map dividing, transfer and panning to your recipe.
