Dijko product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Dijko designs and manufactures industrial bakery equipment centered on the Modular Bakery System, a customizable platform combining proofing, baking, cooling, freezing and automated rack transport modules. Each system is custom-built to customer specifications for industrial bakeries and confectioneries producing bread, pastry, cakes, cookies and specialty products. The company also supplies automation upgrades for existing systems and custom specialty systems for non-food drying and conditioning applications.
Product overview
Dijko offers industrial bakery equipment systems centered around the Modular Bakery System — a customizable platform combining multiple processing modules for proofing, baking, (vacuum)cooling, freezing, and tray transport. The core platform incorporates Oven Modules as the heart of the system, supplemented by Proofer Sections for controlled proofing, Cooler Sections and Deepcooler Sections for ambient and低温 cooling, and the Vacuum Cooler for rapid near-vacuum cooling. U-Transport modules enable automated rack movement, while Loading/Unloading Modules automate tray handling. Specialty Systems provide custom-built drying and conditioning solutions for specialized applications. All systems are designed for flexibility, allowing production of multiple product types on a single line with capacities ranging from 500 kg/hour to 5,000 kg/hour.

Products and services
- Modular Bakery System A modular industrial baking platform designed for bakeries and confectioneries where products are baked on trays or in tins. The system is custom-configurable with various modules including proofing, baking, cooling, deep cooling, vacuum cooling, U-Transport and automated loading/unloading, allowing multiple product types on a single line.
- Oven Module The core baking component of the Modular Bakery System. Gas-fired (natural gas or LPG) with options for oil or electric heating. Each module is independently controlled to implement bake curves, with adjustable air slots and optional steam injection.
- Proofer Section Temperature and humidity-controlled proofing module for the Modular Bakery System. Each section holds 1-8 racks in single- or multi-lane configurations, with stainless steel sandwich panels and external Air Handling Units for humidity control via steam injection or ultrasonic misting.
- Cooler Section Two to five module cooling section using two-stage filtered 100% outside air to cool hot products. Air temperature is controlled via mixing valves but cannot be set lower than outside air temperature.
- Deepcooler Section Two to five module section providing additional cooling using a recirculation system where air continually circulates over a cooling coil/evaporator for much lower temperatures than the standard Cooler Section, extending product shelf life.
- Vacuum Cooler Near-vacuum cooling system that reduces cooling time by up to 20x using the product's own heat. Greatly reduces bacterial growth risk during cooling and works with products in baking tins.
- U-Transport Automated rack movement module that moves racks sideways or vertically through the Modular Bakery System. Constructed from stainless steel with inspection windows and roll-up doors for sanitation and maintenance access.
- Loading/Unloading Modules Automated rack loading system that receives trays from make-up lines and places them in racks. Unloading system automatically pushes products out of racks onto outfeed conveyor. Can receive/discharge at any level including different floors.
- Specialty Systems Custom-built solutions complementing the Modular Bakery System, including drying and conditioning systems for food and non-food products, such as drying tunnels and specialized cooling systems.
