BONGARD pays attention to the details!

“With Paneotrad we wanted to design a machine that establishes a difference with respect to the competition,” explains design office member Maxime Pincot. “For that we wanted a striking design as well as improved ergonomics. For example, the operators need to move around the machines, so we wanted flush handles to avoid any risk of snagging. We also have a more attractive solution. We easily found the handles that met our requirements at Southco, which we contacted through its distributor LEVRAT.”

 

“The front panel is fitted with a P2 flush pull which has turned out to be very straightforward to install, as it simply snaps into the panel.” These Southco handles nevertheless provide a horizontal force resistance of 450 N. They are designed to transfer the lifting load directly to the panel.

 

Paneotrad is mounted on casters for easy movement. For easier handling, Southco 67 concealed pulls, also flush, have been used. “When released, they form two handles which can be used to pull the machine with less force,” concludes Mr Pincot. These handles, robust and easy to install, are fitted on each upright.

 

Paneotrad is a machine designed originally for the production of traditional bread. Today it is suitable for most breadmaking in which priority is given to obtaining relatively irregular air holes.

 

Revolutionary in its concept, the use of Paneotrad preserves the structure of the dough, without degassing or the stressful operations of traditional division and shaping. The crumb obtained is structured, stronger, while remaining supple, elastic and with remarkable flavour. Paneotrad contributes to all bread mechanization operations between kneading and baking: placing in proofing pan, moulding and forming, placing of dough rolls on the oven loader for baking.
