The Intermediate Prover is a 180-pocket automatic proofing system designed to gently rest divided dough pieces before they are moulded. Dough gradually progresses through the pockets inside the prover during the ten minute proof time.
The dough pieces are continuously fed into the Intermediate Prover from the divider and each piece is automatically placed into the special plastic carrier pockets. Dough sticking is prevented thanks to the use of Teflon coating on the infeed chutes and the mesh pockets which allow air to pass freely around the dough during the proofing cycle.
At the end of the proofing period, each dough piece is automatically passed through dough centralising guides and along a fully automated conveyor belt before being delivered to the moulder.
