This Wachtel Piccolo I-4 Master is a used deck oven — sometimes called a shelf oven — a type of bakery equipment designed to bake bread, rolls, pastries, and other products across multiple independently controlled baking chambers. Wachtel is a well-established German manufacturer of professional baking systems, producing deck ovens, proving cabinets, and related equipment for artisan and industrial bakeries.
This particular unit, built in September 2015, features four decks, each measuring 80 × 60 cm, giving a generous combined baking area suited to medium- to high-volume production. Each deck is controlled independently, allowing different baking programmes to run simultaneously across the chambers. Top and bottom heat are separately adjustable on every deck, giving the baker precise control over crust and base colouring. Each chamber is also fitted with its own individual steam box, enabling independent steam injection per deck — an important feature for achieving the correct crust development on bread and other steam-baked products. The oven connects to a water supply to feed this steam system.
Additional convenience features include a night-start automatic function, which allows the oven to be programmed to reach operating temperature at a set time, reducing warm-up waiting at the start of the working day. Deck entry height is adjustable, as noted by the seller, and further details are visible in the listing images.
The electrical specification is 20.32 kW at 400 V AC, three-phase with neutral and protective earth, 50 Hz — a standard industrial supply configuration for the European market.
The unit is sold together with a proofing cabinet for dough fermentation, a tray storage cabinet, and an extraction hood. It has been function-tested, is described as in working order, and is available immediately from its current location in Germany.
