Professional industrial dough mixers

Planetary or spiral hook mixer

• The planetary mixer moves the tool on its own axis while travelling round the bowl. The planetary mixers in this section come with a dough hook, mixing paddle and wire whisk, and have three speeds, one for each tool: they knead, mix and whip.
• The spiral hook dough mixer works the dough with a spiral hook and is suited to bread and pizza doughs. There are single-speed models, two-speed versions and one model with variable speed; each product page shows which it has.

The section also includes the meat mixers.

Bowl litres, kilos of flour and kilos of dough

• Bowl litres are the volume of the container and give each mixer its name.
• Kilos of flour measure the capacity of planetary mixers: from 2.5 kg on the 10-litre models to 18 kg on the 60-litre ones.
• Kilos of dough measure the capacity of spiral hook mixers: from 4.5 kg on the smallest to 44 kg on the 53-litre model, depending on the model.

These capacities are maximum amounts and decrease depending on how stiff the dough is.

Available capacities

• Planetary mixers are available with 7, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60-litre bowls.
• Spiral hook dough mixers are available with 7, 10, 15, 17, 20, 22, 32, 33, 42, 45, 53, 54 and 64-litre bowls.

Each product page shows the kilos of flour or dough for its model.

Single-phase or three-phase

Planetary mixers from 7 to 30 litres run on 230 V single-phase. At 40 litres there is one planetary mixer at 230 V and another at 400 V three-phase, and the 60-litre models run on 400 V three-phase. Spiral hook mixers have 230 V models, from 7 to 64 litres, and three-phase 400 V models, from 17 to 53 litres.

Fixed or removable bowl

On spiral hook mixers with a fixed bowl, the container stays mounted in the machine. Lifting-head models with a removable bowl let you raise the head and take out the bowl, and come in single-phase and three-phase versions.

Timer

Planetary mixers with timer, from 10 to 60 litres, have a time programmer and a start and stop switch; gear-reduction planetary mixers of 10, 20 and 30 litres do not. On spiral hook mixers, the timer depends on the model and is shown on its product page.

Equipment and safety of planetary mixers

Irimar planetary mixers come with a stainless steel bowl, dough hook, mixing paddle, wire whisk and safety guard, and have two micro switches: one on the guard and one on the bowl-lifting lever. The 40 and 60-litre planetary mixers accept a 20 and 30-litre reduction kit, ordered separately. The 60-litre planetary mixers accept an attachment hub for mincing meat and cutting vegetables, optional on one version and built in as standard on the other.

Pizza, bread or patisserie

The spiral hook dough mixer is designed for pizzerias, bakeries and workshops that work bread and pizza doughs. The planetary mixer, with its three tools, suits patisseries and workshops that mix and whip as well as knead.

Before choosing a dough mixer

• The workspace and, on lifting-head mixers, the free space above.
• The weight of the mixer, shown on each product page.
• Whether you need to programme the kneading time.
