FAQ’s
What equipment is needed to start a bakery?
A bakery typically requires mixers, ovens, dough sheeters, slicers, proofers, and cooling racks. For smaller bakeries, compact mixers and pizza ovens from ChromeCater or Beiqi are ideal for efficient production.
How do I choose the right mixer for my bakery?
Choose a spiral mixer for dough-heavy baking or a planetary mixer for versatility with batters and creams. Soft-Ice offers both types with multiple bowl capacities and safety guards.
What’s the difference between a convection oven and a deck oven?
Convection ovens circulate hot air for even baking — perfect for pastries and cookies, while deck ovens use radiant heat for artisan breads and pizzas.
How can I keep baked goods fresh longer?
Store products in cool, dry conditions. Use Bakery Consumables such as airtight containers and display cases.
Are your bakery machines energy-efficient?
Yes. Most Beiqi and ChromeCater bakery equipment models are built for low energy consumption and reliable output, helping South African businesses manage operating costs.
Do you offer training or setup assistance for bakery equipment?
Yes. Soft-Ice provides installation guidance, training, and after-sales support for all bakery equipment purchases.
Do you deliver bakery equipment nationwide in South Africa?
Absolutely. We offer nationwide delivery from Pretoria to all provinces, ensuring safe and prompt service.
Do your bakery products include a warranty?
Yes, all our bakery machines come with a manufacturer’s warranty and local service support for peace of mind. Partner with Soft-Ice and get expert guidance, quality equipment, and nationwide support that keeps your bakery rising.
How can I tell if a ChromeCater part is genuine?
Genuine ChromeCater parts feature the official ChromeCater logo, matching part numbers, and high-quality finishes. Always check for branded packaging, barcodes, or seals, and purchase only through Soft-Ice — the sole authorised importer and distributor of ChromeCater in South Africa. If you suspect you’ve purchased a counterfeit or unverified part, contact Soft-Ice for expert verification and support.
