  • Baker's dough proofing and raising unit
    Patent number: 4635540

A temperature and humidity adjusting cabinet is connected by flow conduits to and from the air space above the dough being proofed.

Audible and visual alarm mechanisms alert operators to predetermined variations of the temperature and humidity of the circulating water vapor.
