Abstract:
An apparatus for storing dough products in a fermentation chamber, comprising:a plurality of cabinet sections arrayed in succession in a fermentation chamber for such dough products from an upstream charging side to a downstream discharging side; and a plurality of individual flat pallets forming respective shiftable trays for carrying dough products to be stored in said fermentation chamber for a certain period of time, said pallets being spaced apart one above another in each of said cabinet sections with corresponding pallets of all of said sections lying in a common horizontal plane, all of the pallets in each common horizontal plane being horizontally shiftable without a conveyor belt and being contiguous from cabinet section to cabinet section so that insertion of an inserted pallet into a cabinet section in each plane at said charging side directly shifts all of the other pallets in the respective plane toward said discharging side and one of said other pallets out of the cabinet section at said discharging side solely by said insertion of said inserted pallet.
