Genus Dei Polyethylene Dough Proofing Box 60×40 cm
Genus Dei Dough Proofing Box 60 × 40 cm: Controlled Fermentation
The Genus Dei dough proofing box 60 × 40 cm is made from 100% food-grade polyethylene and represents an essential tool for pizzerias, bakeries, pastry shops and professional laboratories. With a closed, ribbed base, smooth inner walls without internal steps, and a resting lid, it guarantees controlled fermentation both at room temperature and in the refrigerator, maintaining optimal dough hydration during maturation.
Key features
- Closed, ribbed base that promotes air circulation during proving
- Smooth inner walls with no steps make it easy to remove dough and clean quickly
- Withstands −40 °C to +80 °C in normal use and up to +120 °C when washed in a professional dishwasher
- Food-grade polyethylene does not absorb odours, is impact-resistant and easy to sanitise
Why the Container Matters in Baking
Quality dough—pizza, bread, leavened pastries—requires the correct time and the right container. The Genus Dei resting lid maintains precise balance: the dough does not dry on the surface, but does not accumulate excessive condensation either. This control is critical for fermentation and gluten development during maturation.
The standard 60 × 40 cm dimensions are compatible with professional and domestic refrigerators, allowing both slow cold maturation and room-temperature fermentation. The ribbed base promotes air circulation, while smooth internal walls facilitate easy dough removal and quick cleaning.
Thermal Resistance and Professional Compatibility
The box resists −40 °C to +80 °C in normal use and up to +120 °C during professional dishwasher cycles. This wide thermal range makes it suitable for refrigerators, proving cells, blast chillers and high-temperature dishwashers typical of foodservice environments.
Design for Operational Efficiency
The seamless internal structure—a distinctive feature of the Genus Dei line—eliminates dead corners where dough residue could accumulate. This reduces cleaning time and ensures superior hygiene in daily mise en place. The boxes are stackable: the upper edge of each serves as a cover for the one below, preventing dust ingress during storage in the laboratory or proving cell.
Available Heights and Colours
The Genus Dei 60 × 40 cm box is available in three heights—H 7 cm, H 10 cm and H 13 cm—and in eight colours: white, light blue, yellow, lilac, black, red, green. This variety allows you to organise mise en place for different types of dough (pizza, bread, specialty leavened pastries) and facilitates visual identification in the laboratory. A separate white lid is also available.
Material and Food-Contact Compliance
Food-grade polyethylene (PE) is certified for food contact under current European regulations. It does not absorb odours, is resistant to impact, lightweight and easily sanitised. These properties make it ideal for environments requiring high hygiene standards and frequent industrial dishwashing.
