Dough mixer PIZZA GROUP P01IF01033

A spiral mixer draws the dough up the sides of the bowl and back down through the centre, folding and stretching it with every turn. The spiral hook's shape matches the bowl's curve, so the dough is worked evenly without tearing or overheating. This method builds gluten structure quickly and keeps the dough cool, which is essential for bread, pizza bases and sweet pastries that need a smooth, elastic texture.

The operator lowers the bowl onto the base, locks it in place, and pours in the measured flour and water. The single-speed motor is started; the spiral hook begins its orbit. While the machine runs, the hinged grid lets ingredients be added safely—yeast, salt, oil or sugar—without stopping the cycle. The same grid acts as a window: the operator watches the dough climb the hook and judges when it has reached the right consistency. When the mixing is complete, the bowl is unlocked and lifted off, ready for scaling or proofing.

The bowl, spiral hook and dough-splitting rod are all made of AISI 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion and is easy to sanitise. The outer casing is painted steel, finished in a light colour that shows flour dust and spills quickly so they can be wiped away before they build up.

A 0.45 kW motor draws a steady current from a standard 230 V single-phase circuit, so the mixer can be plugged into any worktop socket without overloading the kitchen's supply. The 15 litre bowl holds up to 10 kg of dough at a time, producing 40 kg of mixed dough per hour—enough for a steady flow of pizzas or small batches of bread. The 50 kg weight keeps the mixer stable on the worktop during operation, while the compact footprint of 320 mm depth, 590 mm width and 570 mm height fits beneath most wall cupboards or shelves.

Cleaning is done after each shift: the bowl and hook are removed, washed in warm water with detergent, rinsed and left to air-dry. The grid is unclipped and wiped down, and the outer surfaces are dusted with a damp cloth. No lubrication is required, as the gearbox is sealed for life.

The IFM15 is a single-speed model; the catalogue places it in the professional bakery and pizzeria section alongside larger and variable-speed variants.
