The BakerMax MPR-18 delivers professional-grade dough control for high-volume bakery operations. Its dual-mode system transitions seamlessly between refrigerated retarding (-5°C to +15°C) and controlled proofing (20°C to +60°C), enabling precise fermentation timing. The 18-pan capacity accommodates 400×600mm trays, while integrated LED lighting and tempered glass doors allow monitoring without temperature loss. Heavy-duty stainless steel construction ensures durability in demanding commercial environments.

Built with heavy-duty stainless steel construction both inside and out, the MPR-18 withstands the demanding conditions of commercial bakery operations. The dual-mode digital control system automatically switches between refrigeration and proofing modes, maintaining precise temperature regulation from -5°C to +60°C. Internal dry heating elements and fan motors ensure even heat distribution throughout the 18-pan capacity chamber. The integrated humidification system features a dedicated water tank that produces optimal steam conditions for consistent fermentation results.

The MPR-18 is designed to meet Australian commercial kitchen equipment standards for electrical safety and food contact surfaces. The stainless steel construction complies with food safety requirements for commercial bakery applications.
