Mediterranean wet dough

High hydration dough equipment for ciabatta, rustic bread and open crumb production

High hydration dough equipment is designed to divide, handle and transfer wet dough with minimum stress, so ciabatta, focaccia and artisan breads keep an open crumb and consistent shape during industrial production. Built on the Spanish Mediterranean coast near Valencia for gourmet and long-fermented dough.

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.

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.
