Professional spiral mixers are based on a simple but highly effective operating principle, which uses the combined movement of the spiral and tank. This synergy creates a unique mixing action, which guarantees superior homogeneity compared to other processing systems.

1. Rotating spiral : the main element of the machine is the spiral, a holder that moves within the tank, immersing itself in the dough and working it continuously. This movement is designed to stretch and elongate the mass, promoting the formation of the glutinous mesh.
2. Tank rotation : at the same time, the tank rotates in the opposite direction or synchronized with the spiral. This movement helps to gather all the ingredients in the centre, preventing them from sticking to the edges and ensuring even processing.
3. Double speed: many professional spiral mixers have two operating speeds. The first speed is slower and serves to mix the initial ingredients, while the second, faster, speeds up the dough process, improving the final mixing.
4. Pulse function : present in the most advanced models, it allows you to give short strokes of maximum power to handle specific processes or correct the consistency of the dough.

1. Preparation: the ingredients are placed in the bowl in the specific order of the recipe. To avoid overheating, it is recommended to work at low speeds in the initial stages.
2. Start: you select the desired speed according to the type of dough to be made. Models with variable speed drive provide greater control.
3. Monitoring: during processing, the operator can observe the dough through any openings in the lid. Some models include a timer for optimal time management.
4. Cleaning: After use, the bowl and spiral must be thoroughly cleaned, especially in models with fixed heads, where the bowl is not removable.

Professional spiral mixers are dough-processing machines that use a mixing system consisting of a rotating spiral and a rotating tank. This design allows the ingredients to be evenly mixed, developing the glutinic mesh necessary for homogenous, well-processed doughs.

• The spiral reproduces the manual movement, straightening and folding the dough.
• The bowl turns at the same time to keep the ingredients moving to prevent accumulation on the edges.

This configuration makes them ideal for mixing bread, pizza and desserts, both low and high hydration.

A spiral mixer is extremely versatile and allows different types of dough to be processed. Among the main features there are:

• Hard dough : like breadsticks, taralli, fresh pasta and biscuits, where it is necessary to manage compact textures.
• Medium dough : such as bread, pizza and focaccia, which require elasticity and a good formation of the gluten mesh.
• Soft doughs : such as leavened sweets, cakes, brioches and highly hydrated dough, which require delicate processing to preserve the structure of the dough.

The versatility of the spiral mixers makes them suitable for both those who prepare simple recipes and those who work with complex and sophisticated dough.

Choosing the right mixer depends on several factors, including intended use and work volume. Here are some key things to consider:

• Tank capacity : choose according to the amount of dough you plan to process regularly.
• Power supply: opts for single-phase models for domestic use or three-phase models for professional use.
• Speed: estimate the number of speeds available to you based on your needs, especially for complex dough.
• Configuration: Models with lifting head or removable tank are more convenient for cleaning and maintenance.
• Materials: you prefer stainless steel bowls and robust structures to ensure durability and hygiene.

A well-considered choice ensures optimal results and greater satisfaction in daily use.

The power of a kneading machine, expressed in watts (W) or horsepower (HP), is an important parameter affecting its ability to process different doughs. However, it is not only the nominal value that makes the difference, but also the quality of the engine and transmission.

• Household or semi-professional use : a kneader with a power between 500 and 1500 W is generally sufficient for kneading up to 10-15 kg.
• Professional use : for bakeries or pizzerias, models with power ratings of 2 HP and up are recommended, providing high performance for frequent and intensive processing.
• Industrial use : machines for continuous production require three-phase motors with outputs above 3 HP to ensure reliability even under heavy load.

In addition to the rated power, it is important to check the actual power measured at the crankshaft, which is the actual value of the performance.

The choice of pizza mixer depends on the volume of dough to be processed and the type of use (domestic or professional). A good pizza kneading machine must:

• Have a bowl with a capacity suitable for the required quantity of dough, approximately between 5 and 50 kg.
• Have adjustable speeds for medium and high hydration dough, such as those typical of Neapolitan pizza.
• It is equipped with a lifting head and removable bowl (in professional models) for easy cleaning and dough removal.

Professional models with three-phase motors and speed selectors are ideal for pizzerias, while for domestic use, compact machines with single-phase power are recommended.
