Provers
Baker Perkins’ First Prover accepts dough pieces from Rounders and relaxes them prior to final moulding. Removing stress from the dough ensures that it can be moulded without tearing and will prove and bake evenly.
Using a First Prover enables the resting to be carried out in a controlled, hygienic environment that preserves the rounded shape and provides a well-controlled feed to the moulders.
Number of trays 50, 60 or 100 Pockets per tray 8 Maximum output 9,200 pieces per min Proof time range 1 to 30 mins Dough piece weight 200 to 1,100g Read more:
Formers
Baker Perkins offers the Multitex4™ final moulder to bakeries looking to sheet and mould dough pieces for pans / tins. Gentle sheeting and moulding enables dough quality to be maintained while reducing the use of costly ingredients such as yeast and improvers. The dough is subjected to controlled, even tension during sheeting and moulding, so it proves evenly and fills the pan well to give an attractive appearance and good crumb structure.
Weight range 200g to 2,100g Throughput Up to 6,000 pieces per hour (weight dependent) Read more:
