Two speed Spiral Mixer manufacturers in Guwahati Assam
✅ What Is a Spiral Mixer?
A spiral mixer is a type of dough mixer designed specifically for bread and pizza doughs. It gets its name from the spiral-shaped dough hook that rotates while the bowl spins in the opposite direction, creating a dual-action mixing process. This design results in gentler dough handling and better gluten development—ideal for artisanal and high-hydration doughs.
🛠️
How It Works
-
The spiral hook rotates on its axis.
-
The mixing bowl rotates independently or simultaneously (usually in the opposite direction).
-
Some models include a central shaft or breaker bar to help divide and stretch the dough.
-
Speeds: Usually two-speed motors—low for incorporation, high for kneading.
⚖️ Capacity
-
Small Models: 10–30 liters (1–12 kg dough)
-
Mid-Range Models: 40–80 liters (20–50 kg dough)
-
Industrial Models: 120+ liters (100+ kg dough)
Capacity depends on:
-
Bowl size
-
Dough hydration (wet doughs = lower capacity)
-
Flour/dough weight rating
