seconds or less.
- Infeed

Choose
what's best for your needs
from
options tried and tested by other bakeries.
Belshaw has engineered hundreds of
configurations to suit operations throughout
the U.S. and the world. Our sytems
specialists use a comprehensive checklist to
ensure the best possible match with your
bakery. Model sizes generally conform to the
Belshaw CENTURY
fryer carrying the same model number (for
instance, the TM600 pictured above matches a
Century C600 fryer and processes 600 dozen
pieces per hour).
With
capacity stretching from 100 to 3000+ dozen
per hour, the largest donut proofers can be
manufactured by Belshaw.
THERMOMATIC™
Proofers are suitable for roll-cut and
pressure-cut donuts, cinnamon rolls,
berliners, honeybuns, etc.
Several options exist for optimizing outfeed
into a fryer: tilt-off, blow-off, and
transfer conveyor (pictured right). |

The TMK-VI
automatic proofer is a component of Belshaw's Mark
VI-TMK donut production system. The technology
used is that of Belshaw's Thermomatic™ proofers,
used for high volume donut production and designed
to assure uniform climate control.
Donuts are loaded
manually onto a large loading table, then carried
by conveyor though the proofing chamber and
transferred automatically into the fryer.
Plexiglass doors allow the operator to oversee the
product for quality assurance. They also
enable the proofer to be used as a viewing
attraction to customers, and for exhibition style
donut production.
The TMK-VI benefits
from Belhsaw's dust free proofing. Donut are
released cleanly without any flouring of proofer
baskets. Four does not enter the fryer, prolonging
the life of shortening.
The advantages of
using an automatic proofer over a manual proof box
are clear:
- Consistent
Results - each donut is subjected to the
same proofing environment for the same amount
of time, providing more uniform
appearance. Donuts on the shelf or i the
carton look better.
- No skill,
minimal training - the judgment of the
operator as to when the donuts are ready to
fry is not essential, as is the case with
manually fed proof boxes. Training new
operators or temporary replacements is no
longer a problem.
- More
Production- those who use manually fed
proof boxes know that, unless proofing is
perfectly synchronized, production time is
sometimes lost when the next screen of proofed
donuts isn't quite ready. Automatic proofing
eliminates those gaps.
- Reduced Labor-
the operator has only to load the generously
spaced infeed table. Screens and racks not
required.
STANDARD
FEATURES
- Construction:
Outer casing and frame are stainless steel.
Some components are molded aluminum. Chain is
#35 stainless steel. Baskets are perforated
stainless steel.
- Mobility:
Proofer is movable on heavy duty casters to
allow room for cake donut operations.
- Dry Heat
& Humidity: Dry heat is regulated by
electronic thermostat. Humidity is controlled
by water temperature thermostat, fan blower,
and interior ducting. Water supply is
regulated electronically and controlled by
solenoid, with connection to bakery water
supply performed by owner.
- Conveyor:
Conveyor rate is regulated by rate of advance
of Mark VI fryer conveyor. Proofing time is
proportional to donut frying time. For nominal
frying time of 120 seconds, proofing time on a
standard TMK-VI is 31 minutes 40
seconds.
- Conveyor
Baskets: Standard perforated steel
proofing baskets are 3 3/4" X 15
3/4"
- Safety Slip
Clutch: Slip clutch mechanism is installed
for preventing accidental damage should any
stray object become lodged in the conveyor.
