Two speed Spiral Mixer manufacturers in Guwahati Assam
β 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 developmentβideal for artisanal and high-hydration doughs.
π οΈ
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.
