Proofer
BIP 72-M

Principle single infeed by photocell or one V-step belt:
BIP 72-M proofers have been developed for automatic resting/proofing of dough pieces between rounder and moulder. A photocell-controlled infeed system brings the dough pieces one by one into the 1st row of pockets of the proofer.
The proofer runs intermittently (step by step) until 1,200 pcs/hr. At a higher capacity, the proofer will run continuously. When the dough pieces have completed one cycle, the transfer box up in the proofer will bring them to the next pocket.
After the dough pieces have completed all rows, the transfer box brings the them from the last row through a discharge chute or a discharge conveyor (option) to the moulder or final rounder.

Principle dual infeed by one V-step belt with 2-way flipper gate:
BIP 72-M proofers have been developed for automatic resting/proving of dough pieces between rounder and moulder. The “self-thinking” photocell-controlled V-step belt with 2-way flipper gate feeds the dough pieces directly from the rounder into the proofer pockets. The V-step belt feeds them alternatively into the 1st and 2nd row of the proofer.
This system ensures that only 1 dough piece per pocket will be fed, even if the dough pieces do not arrive continuously. The proofer runs continuously and 2% faster than the divider. When the dough pieces have completed one cycle, the transfer box up in the proofer brings them to the next row: the dough pieces from row 1 to row 3 and row 2 to row 4.
After the dough pieces have completed all rows, the transfer box brings them from the last row through a discharge chute or a discharge conveyor (option) to the moulder or final rounder.
