mac.pan Pre-Fermentation Chamber | Compact Dough Resting & Pre-Proofing System

mac.pan Pre-Fermentation Chamber

The mac.pan Pre-Fermentation Chamber is a compact and highly efficient dough resting and pre-proofing system designed to automate the critical resting phase between dough cutting and shaping. By eliminating the need for manual resting on worktables, this machine significantly improves production efficiency, consistency, and workflow organization in professional bakeries.

Thanks to its extremely compact design, the pre-fermentation chamber requires considerably less space than traditional resting tables while delivering precise and repeatable dough resting times. The number of resting nests is calculated according to production speed and desired resting time, with a maximum resting duration of up to 15 minutes.

Main performance and structural features

Automated dough resting process

Streamlines production by automating the resting phase between slicing and shaping, reducing manual handling.

Adjustable resting (sleep) time

Allows precise control of dough relaxation based on product type and processing requirements.

Entrance sensor system

Prevents double entries, ensuring smooth product flow and avoiding dough congestion.

Compact space-saving design

Occupies significantly less floor space compared to traditional dough resting tables.

Magnetothermal electrical protection

Electrical system is safeguarded by a magnetothermal meter for reliable and safe operation.

Flexible entry and exit configuration

Entry and exit positions can be customized according to customer layout requirements.

Electric flour desiccant at entry

Prevents sticking and improves dough handling during transfer into the chamber.

Integrated fan system

Ensures gentle air circulation for uniform dough resting conditions.

Silent, grease-free chain drive

Provides quiet operation, low maintenance, and clean working conditions.

Easy-to-maintain nesting system

Nests are made of nylon or plush material, designed for quick disassembly and cleaning.

Mobile construction

Equipped with wheels for easy positioning and relocation within the production area.
