Intermediate proofer IK

dough

Dynamic intermediate proofer IK CHARACTERISTICS • 4 models and 4 configurations available for each model • Total number of usefull pockets: 168 to 376, depending on models • Dough piece weight: from 200 to 1000g • Output: from 900 to 1500 p/h DESCRIPTION The advantages • A wide range of storage (from 168 to 376 pockets) • Comfort: – Centralized control of the bread plant – Silent – Inspection window – Automatic resting cycle • Hygiene: – UV lamps to prevent mold – Smootth surface and outside panels in stainless steel • No sticking of dough pieces: – Entry flour duster – Humid air removal fan – Felt lined dough piece transfer device – Pockets mad of nylon mesh Use The IK intermediate proofer is used in automatic bread plants. It provides the resting step of the dough pieces after dividing and rounding operations and prior to forming. This intermediate proofing period favours gluten relaxation and thus produces dough that is easier to mould. The machine allows the continuity of the production cycle at a programmed speed. The extent of the range of available IK models can meet different requirements in terms of resting time needed for the dough pieces. The intermediate proofer can be fed either by a BC conical rounder or directly by a DVP volumetric divider with built-in pre-rounding device. The Major Alpha Auto moulder, set atop the outfeed conveyor TE, is usually connected at the discharge end of the proofer
