Dough Mixers

Dough Mixers: The Spiral Taste

Dough mixers, referred to as spiral mixers, are indispensable commercial kitchen equipment for restaurants, pizzerias, delis, and bakeries that prepare a high amount of dough on a daily basis. Commercial Dough mixer machines feature a spiral-shaped agitator to knead the dough much quicker in a rotating bowl. They are mainly designed to knead and mix dough; thus, they will be of great use and benefit your business if you sell or serve pizza, bread, dinner rolls, or any other food product made of dough.

Features of Dough Mixers

Dough mixers are built to last and perform efficiently in a commercial setting to streamline your workflow. Hence, these pizzeria and bakery mixers are available as furnished with the following features:

• Industrial dough mixers are manufactured from stainless steel to offer resistance to commercial conditions and rigorous use. The hook, bowl, and housing are made of steel; commercial bread mixers can withstand frequent use.
• These bakery mixer machines, such as Eurodib dough mixers and Ampto spiral mixers, are furnished with enhanced safety precautions. The mixing bowl and the hook have a safety guard to prevent injuries. Moreover, the safety guard has space to enable the operator to add ingredients to the dough and pizza dough mix.
• Industrial dough mixers like the Univex dough mixers generally have 2 or 3 variable speeds to enable more control over the kneading process. The first speed is suitable for mixing the ingredients at the beginning, while the second speed is more appropriate for improving the dough's gluten structure.
• Dough mixing machines also present a programmable timer to switch between the speeds automatically.
• Many of these commercial dough mixers have reversible rotation options to increase dough's even and consistent mixing.
• Some heavy-duty dough mixers are equipped with hydraulic lifts that allow the operator to load and unload the batch without much effort. Additionally, you can find tilting or removable bowls as well.
• Commercial pizza dough mixers are available with capacities ranging from 20 qt. to 423 qt.

Planetary Mixers vs. Dough Mixers

Dough mixers and planetary mixers resemble each other in construction and appearance, but their mechanism, features, and use are different.

Dough mixers feature a moving bowl that rotates around a fixed spiral hook to mix and knead large batches of dough. Therefore, these commercial dough mixers are primarily suitable for dough mixing, and you cannot whisk or whip cream or batter. The planetary mixers have a rotating hook that moves around a stationary bowl like the planets in orbit. Their hook can be changed with extra attachments and used both for dough kneading and cream whipping. However, planetary mixers are not suitable for handling large batches of dough.
