ECP

Automatic intermediate proofer

The ECP prover is generally used in automatic bread-making lines for proving portions of dough after dividing and rounding
operations and before moulding and final leavening, thus ensuring the continuity of the production cycle at the preset production
rhythm. The ECP prover is therefore designed and dimensioned - depending on needs - to give the portions an adequate rest
time, inside a closed structure, with controlled conditioning on request.

The ECP prover is usually fed by AC conical rounders and AT
counter-moving belt rounders, or directly by volumetric
dividers with built-in roller device. The discharge end is usually
combined with long moulders for baguettes, long moulders for
small loaves and tin bread and moulders for large soave.
ECP provers are supplied in four standard models. However,
as it is a machine prevalently ordered to specific customer

needs, the provers can be built in special versions whose
performance differs from the other models; in these cases, the
dimensions and number of pockets for every gutter, the
number of gutters and the automatic loading system are
defined on the basis of the requested portions, the rest times
and working rhythm.

Standard features

 The support structure and casings are made of steel

sections and sheets painted with dual cycle anti­corrosion treatment using epoxy powders (food contact).

 The pocket gutters are made of galvanized steel tubing.
 The pockets containing dough portions are made of

nylon mesh.

 The motor drive, connected to the microswitch-

controlled automatic loading device, adjusts the
intermittent feed of gutters with a chain transmission
system.

 24V low voltage electric control panel, with three sockets

for the connection of other machines.

 Germicide lamp with UV ray.

Description

ECP proofer in an automatic line for baguettes

Standard performance

 Dough portion weight from 200/300 up to 1300 gr
 Maximum working rhythm 1200 pcs./h. according to the rest

time.

 Possibility to anticipate the piece unloading of 1/8 or 2/8 of

the maximum rest time.

 Unloading chute allowing to receive the dough piece from the

last three exits.

CALCULATION OF THE MAX. REST TIME WITH
REFERENCE TO THE HOURLY OUTPUT:

Example: ECP/224 (192 useful pockets) and hourly output = 900
pieces.
900 pieces/hour : 60 = 15 pieces/minute
192 useful pockets: 15= 12,8 rest minutes

Option
