SPIRAL DOUGH MIXER
Spiral dough mixers are designed for preparing pizza dough in pizzerias, bakeries and foodservice operations. The range includes models with different bowl capacities, one or two mixing speeds and different construction options. The main factors when selecting a mixer are the amount of dough prepared per batch and the required operating configuration.

Spiral dough mixers for different production volumes
Spiral dough mixers process dough through the movement of the spiral tool inside a rotating bowl. The range includes smaller models for lower dough quantities as well as higher-capacity machines for larger batches. When comparing models, the bowl volume in litres should therefore be considered together with the maximum dough capacity of the machine.
One or two mixing speeds
Single-speed models operate at one working speed throughout the mixing process. Two-speed mixers allow the speed to be changed during preparation, providing greater control over the individual mixing stages. Available controls and timer settings depend on the specific model and product line.
Fixed or removable bowl
Mixer construction also affects handling after the mixing cycle. The range includes models with a fixed rotating bowl as well as versions with a removable bowl and tilting head. A removable bowl provides easier access when removing the prepared dough and simplifies handling and cleaning of the working area.
Selecting a mixer according to dough quantity
Mixer capacity should be selected according to the usual quantity of dough prepared in one batch rather than bowl volume alone. A smaller machine may be more suitable when several smaller batches are prepared throughout the day, while a larger bowl allows a greater quantity of dough to be processed in a single mixing cycle.
FAQ
How do I choose the right size spiral dough mixer?
The main figure to consider is the amount of dough that needs to be processed in one batch. Bowl volume in litres is not the same as dough capacity in kilograms, so both specifications should be checked when comparing models. In the current range, for example, a 22 L model handles up to 18 kg of dough, a 42 L model up to 32 kg and a 53 L model up to 40 kg.
What is the difference between a single-speed and two-speed dough mixer?
A single-speed model operates at one working speed during mixing. A two-speed mixer provides two working speeds, allowing the mixing process to be adapted more closely to different stages of dough preparation. The appropriate version depends on the dough, batch size and required working method.
What are the advantages of a removable bowl and tilting head?
Tilting the head provides better access to the bowl and working area. A removable bowl can be taken out after mixing, making it easier to handle the prepared dough and clean the machine. With fixed-bowl models, the bowl remains permanently installed in the mixer.
Are spiral dough mixers only suitable for pizza dough?
No. Spiral mixers can also process other types of yeast dough with similar mixing requirements, including bread and focaccia dough. The maximum dough capacity and operating specifications of the individual model must always be respected.
