Spiral Mixers
Spiral mixers are dough-dedicated mixers with a spiral-shaped hook and rotating bowl, designed to knead dense, high-hydration bread dough without overheating the way a planetary mixer can under heavy loads — the standard choice for bakeries, pizzerias and dark kitchens producing bread daily.
Key specifications
Bowl capacity maps to flour weight per batch — typically 20-60 litre bowls handling 8-25kg of flour, powered by 1.1-3kW motors (three-phase above the largest countertop sizes). Fixed or removable bowl designs affect ease of cleaning and dough removal.
Spiral Mixers — FAQs
What bowl size do I need for a 20kg dough batch?
A 20kg flour batch typically needs a 40-60 litre spiral mixer bowl; smaller 20-30 litre bowls suit batches of 8-12kg flour common in smaller bakeries or pizzerias.
Fixed or removable bowl spiral mixer?
Removable bowls make dough extraction and cleaning faster and are preferred in high-turnover bakeries; fixed-bowl models are typically more affordable and suit lower daily batch counts.
