The BIP 72-E is an intermediate proofer suitable for many common dough types, such as wheat and wheat/rye dough. Via a photocell-controlled infeed system, the rounded dough pieces are dropped into the proofer pockets, while the proofer runs intermittent for 100% filling or continuously by a belt infeed system. The ultraviolet lamps prevent mould forming on the inside of the proofer, and the transparent polycarbonate windows allow for visual inspection of the dough pieces.
