Automatic intermediate proofer with loading station Performances • Number of carriers: 70 • Number of pockets per carrier: 6 or 7 • Medio FA Auto is equipped, depending on models, with : pockets for 650 g dough capacity maximum • Or :pockets for 1000 g dough capacity maximum The automatic Medio FA Auto intermediate proofer with loading station is a machine designed for intermediate proofing of dough pieces aimed at bakers making up to 1,200 dough pieces per hour, from 100 to 1000 g depending on the model chosen. The advantages • High storage capacity • Full loading • Possibility of unloading the machine while continuing to load • Very easy to use • Silent • Adapted for use with any Bongard moulder Operating principle Once weighed and divided, the dough pieces are placed in felt gutters. Then they rest between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the strength of the dough and quality of the mixing. This intermediate proofing period favours gluten relaxation and thus produces dough that is easier to mould. Once weighed and divided, the dough pieces are placed in felt pockets. Useable in discontinuous mode (by one person) or continuous mode (by two people), the side loading is manual while frontal unloading is motorised towards the moulder. Integrated in the bread plant, one single operator is able to operate the Medio FA Auto into discontinuous and continuous mode, thanks to automatic loading and motorised unloading towards the moulder. The Medio FA Auto is fitted with a pallet type loading station, which load and distribute dough pieces in carriers with pockets. The loading station comes in standard with a T3 (600 mm long) or T4 (800 mm long) infeed conveyor belt and a flour duster. Placed at the exit, the transfer conveyor belt is used to feed the moulder automatically.The Medio FA Auto is fitted with treated pockets avoiding sticking and maintaining a constant hygrometric level of the dough pieces (nylon mesh pockets are available on demand at no extra cost). Major Auto moulders are recommended with the Medio FA Auto.
