Rofco - RK48 Proofer

Applications & Use Cases

• Proofing dough for bread, rolls, and pastries in bakeries.
• Creating an optimal environment for yeast activation and dough fermentation.
• Used in artisan bakeries, patisseries, and small-to-medium scale food production.
• Preparing dough for subsequent baking processes, ensuring consistent product quality.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of proofer, capacity typically ranges from 4 to 8 standard baking trays (e.g., 600x400mm), depending on internal rack configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V, suitable for most commercial kitchens.

Temperature range

Proofers generally offer a controlled temperature range, typically from ambient up to 45°C, for optimal dough development.

Humidity control

Most proofers include a humidity generation system, typically adjustable between 60% and 90% RH, to prevent dough skinning.

Footprint

Compact proofers commonly have a footprint suitable for countertop placement or integration into existing bakery setups, typically around 60-80cm wide.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene, durability, and ease of cleaning in a food processing environment.
