Dough mixer PIZZA GROUP P01IF04029

A spiral mixer draws the dough into a rotating spiral hook that stretches and folds it repeatedly. The hook's helical shape creates a gentle, continuous kneading action that develops gluten evenly without overheating the mixture. This method mimics hand-kneading and produces a smooth, elastic dough ready for proofing in minutes.

The operator lowers the bowl into position, adds flour and liquid, then selects one of two speeds. The slower setting suits delicate doughs such as brioche, while the faster speed handles firm pizza or bread doughs. A safety grid covers the bowl while the machine runs, allowing ingredients to be added without stopping the motor. The grid also lets the operator check the dough's consistency at any time without touching moving parts.

The bowl, spiral hook and dough-splitting rod are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion and is easy to sanitise. The mixer's footprint of 470 mm by 850 mm fits on a standard worktop or mobile stand, while its 106 kg weight requires a sturdy surface and two people to move it safely. The 400 V three-phase supply matches the circuit used in most professional bakeries and pizzerias, avoiding the need for a separate transformer.

Cleaning involves removing the bowl and spiral, washing them in warm water with detergent, and drying them before reassembly. The grid lifts off for access to the motor housing, where a soft brush removes flour dust. Regular wiping of the control panel keeps the switches free of debris.

The IF42 2 V is a two-speed spiral mixer with a 42 L bowl capacity, tested at 60 percent hydration for consistent results across pizza, bread and pastry doughs.
