FEATURES : 

  • Operating Principle

Equipped with the advanced SENSITIV’2 touchscreen control panel, the HERA-P offers both manual and programmed proofing cycles, divided into four distinct phases:

  1. Pre-cooling: The chamber temperature lowers to -15°C to gently defrost or quickly cool fresh dough before proofing begins.
  2. Retarding: Dough pieces are preserved at temperatures between +2°C and +5°C to delay rising.
  3. Fermentation: Temperature rises as per the user’s settings to achieve optimal proofing.
  4. Dormillon (Sleep Phase): To prevent over-proofing, the chamber temperature lowers after a set proofing period to keep the dough cool.

IMPORTANT NOTES : 

    • Supplied without grid and linen canvas (trays not included).
    • Installation of disassembled 2C2D models must be done by a qualified refrigeration engineer.
  • Notes on Refrigeration Units

     

    • Tropicalised Standard: Suitable for installation up to 8m from the chamber in environments below 43°C.
    • Remote Tropicalised Unit: For installations 8 to 20m from the cabinet, operating in temperatures up to 43°C.
    • Silent: Streamlined units, 7 to 12 dB quieter, for installations up to 8m from the chamber.
    • Remote Soundless: Noiseless units, 7 to 12 dB quieter, for installations 8 to 20m from the chamber.
