Product Overview

The Turbofan P8M is a dual function prover and holding cabinet from Moffat, holding 8 full size 460mm x 660mm sheet pans or 16 half size pans in a 735mm wide cabinet. Switch it between Prove mode for raising dough with heat and humidity, and Hold mode for keeping cooked food at serving temperature. It is sized to sit under a Turbofan E32D4 or G32D4 convection oven as a complete baking station, or roll anywhere on its castors as a standalone unit.

Turbofan provers are designed and manufactured by Moffat and backed by Moffat's Australia wide service and spare parts network. The P8M runs a gentle low velocity fan, mechanical thermostat from 20 to 85 degrees and humidity control fed by an auto fill water tank that lifts out for cleaning without tools. Full double skin stainless construction keeps the heat in and the running costs down, and at 1.5kW it plugs straight into a standard power point.

Best for: Bakeries and kitchens that prove dough or hold food hot and want a cabinet that pairs with their Turbofan oven.

Frequently asked questions

What does a prover and holding cabinet do?

Two jobs in one cabinet. In Prove mode it holds the gentle warmth and humidity that dough needs to rise properly before baking, croissants, bread, pizza bases and buns. In Hold mode it keeps cooked food at safe serving temperature without drying it out. If you bake in the morning and hold food through service, one cabinet covers both.

Does the Turbofan P8M need special electrical installation?

No. At 1.5kW drawing 6.3A, the P8M comes with a 10A cordset fitted and plugs straight into a standard power point, no electrician needed.

Can an oven sit on top of the P8M?

Yes, that is the point of it. The P8M is sized to carry a Turbofan E32D4 or G32D4 convection oven on top, prove underneath, bake above, all in one 735mm footprint on castors. Contact us to price the oven and prover combination together.

Does the P8M need a water connection?

No. The humidity system runs from a built in auto fill water tank that lifts out for cleaning without tools. If you want it plumbed, there is an optional cold water 3/4" BSP connection, and an optional 3M Cuno water filter kit that installs flush in the rear housing.

What trays does the Turbofan P8M take?

It holds 8 x 460mm x 660mm full size sheet pans or 16 x 460mm x 330mm half size pans with 76mm spacing. An optional racking kit converts it to 8 x 400mm x 600mm trays.
