The First Prover accepts dough pieces from the Conical Rounder and relaxes them prior to final molding. Removing stress from the dough ensures that it can be molded 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 molders. The unit is compact, hygienic and easy to maintain from floor level.

Efficient infeed preserves shape and avoids doubles

Dough pieces are carried through the prover in swing trays that are divided into individual pockets to keep them separate. They are guided into the pockets by a synchronized loading system that ensures there are no gaps and no doubles. The pockets maintain the dough piece shape for presentation to the molder.

Controlled environment and hygienic operation

The enclosed system maintains the dough in optimum condition. The easily removable pockets are metal detectable and made from a washable plastic mesh that facilitates clean and reliable discharge. An air blower dries the parts in contact with the dough to prevent sticking and an extractor fan reduces humidity build-up.
