AU $919inc. GSTIn stock

A benchtop spiral mixer built for dough and nothing else. The 8 L stainless bowl turns at 21 rpm while the spiral hook turns at 159 rpm inside it, which folds and stretches a bread or pizza dough the way hands do, only faster. It weighs 37 kg.

Setting up

Set it on a level bench, fit the bowl and hook, lower the guard and plug in. Start with a small batch to learn the timer.

Kneads like hands, only it does not stop.

A spiral mixer turns the bowl and the hook at once, so the dough is folded and stretched rather than beaten. Bread and pizza dough come out of it right.

Every part of the dough is carried past the hook and pushed against the fixed breaker bar in turn, which develops the dough evenly.

The head tilts back to lift the bowl out. It is the machine a pizzeria buys when the planetary mixer is being asked to do a job it was not built for.

Goes with.

What this usually leaves the warehouse with.

Close view into the bowl of dough winding around the spiral hook

Two rotations, one dough.

The bowl and the hook both turn clockwise, the bowl at 21 rpm and the hook at 159. A fixed stainless breaker rod down the middle of the bowl gives the dough something to fold against. That is the whole trick of a spiral mixer: the dough is worked continuously and evenly, so a stiff pizza dough develops evenly.

  • Bowl 21 rpm, hook 159 rpm
  • Breaker rod folds the dough each pass
  • Dual rotation works the whole batch each turn

Set the timer and walk away.

The panel is a waterproof on and off switch, a timer knob to 60 minutes, a reset button and a power light. The motor stops when the timer runs out or the guard is lifted, whichever comes first. If it stalls under a load it should not have had, the reset button brings it back.

  • Timer to 60 minutes
  • Guard interlock and reset button
  • Waterproof switch for floury hands

Sized for a pizzeria, not a factory.

Eight litres and 3 kg of dough per batch is about twelve 250 g pizza bases or four 700 g loaves. That suits a pizzeria doing its own dough, a café baking bread for the counter, a bakery test kitchen, or a serious home baker who has worn out a domestic machine. It fits on a 500 mm stretch of bench.

  • Twelve pizza bases or four loaves a batch

What it turns.

Speeds are fixed and geared. Each batch runs at the same two speeds from start to finish; the timer decides how long.

Model and add-ons.

One bowl size in this range. If you regularly need more than 3 kg of dough at once, the answer is a second batch rather than a bigger benchtop machine; the next step up is a floor-standing mixer.

Questions we get asked

What is the difference between this and the planetary mixer?

A planetary mixer has one tool orbiting a fixed bowl and takes a hook, a beater and a whisk, so it does cakes and cream as well as dough. A spiral mixer only kneads, and it does that better: the turning bowl and fixed breaker rod develop dough faster and keep it cooler. Buy this for bread and pizza, the planetary for everything else.

How much dough can it do at once?

Up to 3 kg of finished dough. That is a dozen 250 g pizza bases or four 700 g loaves.

Does it need a special power point?

No. It plugs into a standard power point; the motor is 450 W.

Why does it stop when I lift the guard?

The guard has an interlock. The motor only runs with the guard down, so a hand cannot reach a turning hook. Lower the guard and press start to continue.

How do I clean it?

Clean the bowl, hook and rod after each batch and wipe the head and base with a damp cloth. Do not hose the machine; the motor is inside the head.
