Baking and proofing continuum
Australian company Auto-Bake’s Serpentine continuous baking proofing systems are a versatile and compact solution for bread or fermented product lines. The custom-configured modules offer conventional steam or water-mist proofing functionality, providing accurate humidity control of the pre-bake environment.
The compact proofing systems incorporate the signature Serpentine transport path, where pans are transported along multiple horizontal levels of the module in an ‘S-shape’.
The rate of Auto-Bake variable speed Serpentine proofing systems can be accurately synchronized with the speed of the oven, uniting the proofing process with modern continuous baking technology.
At Auto-Bake, getting the end product 100% right is essential. To demonstrate how Serpentine technology works, the company has established an expanding network of test bakeries across the globe. These provide an avenue for bakers to trial their own specific product in the Serpentine, obligation free. Test bakeries are located in Chicago, USA and in Sydney, Australia. From the massive WP Group in Germany comes the Kemper range of equipment.
