Trial Australia’s leading European bakery equipment in a fully operational commercial space.
The Vanrooy Test Kitchen is Australia’s first fully operational, commercial-style bakery equipment showroom.

Every machine is fully operational, so you can put it through its paces exactly as you would in your own bakery. Whether you’re opening a new business and need start-up bakery equipment, or you’re an established operation upgrading to large bakery equipment for full-scale production, the Test Kitchen gives you total confidence before you buy.

David Van Rooy, Vanrooy Machinery CEO
We know how big a decision it is to invest in commercial bakery equipment. Specification sheets and showroom displays only tell you so much. You need to know how a machine performs with your product, in real conditions.
That’s why Vanrooy built the Test Kitchen:
To remove the guesswork from buying bakery equipment.
No other bakery equipment supplier in Australia offers this level of hands-on access before purchase. We wanted our customers to feel completely confident in their investment, backed by real results, not just promises.
At Vanrooy, our commitment doesn’t end at the sale, it’s just the beginning. The Test Kitchen reflects our belief that the right equipment decision starts with a real bake, made on real machinery, guided by people who understand the craft.
Our Test Kitchen features a wide selection of commercial bakery equipment across every stage of production, including:
Commercial Bakery Ovens: deck ovens, rack ovens, and combi ovens for artisan and high-volume baking.
Bakery Mixers: spiral mixers and planetary mixers suited to everything from micro bakery equipment setups to full industrial bakery machinery lines.
Dough Dividers and Dough Rounders: for consistent, high-speed dough processing.
Dough Moulders and Dough Sheeters: for bread, pastry, and artisan bakery equipment applications.
Refrigeration and Proving equipment: including retarder provers to manage your production schedule.
If a specific piece of equipment isn’t set up in the Test Kitchen at the time of your visit, our team can often arrange a demonstration. Please ensure you let our team know what you’d like to see when you book.
