Dough mixer PIZZA GROUP P01IR03023

A spiral mixer draws the dough around a fixed spiral hook while the bowl turns beneath it. The hook stretches and folds the dough continuously, trapping air and developing gluten without overheating. This method gives a smooth, elastic dough in minutes, ready for proofing or dividing.

The operator loads the dry ingredients into the stainless steel bowl, fits the bowl onto the mixer, and lowers the safety grid. A variable-speed control lets the speed be matched to the dough stage—slow for initial mixing, faster for final kneading. The grid allows ingredients to be added while the machine runs, and the transparent section lets the dough consistency be checked without stopping. When the cycle finishes, the bowl is lifted off and the dough tipped out for dividing or scaling.

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 main body is painted steel with an optional set of four wheels—two with brakes and two without—so the mixer can be moved and locked in place.

The 0.75 kW motor runs on a 230 V single-phase supply, the standard circuit in British professional kitchens. The 17 litre bowl holds up to 12 kg of dough, a capacity that suits medium bakeries and pizzerias. The 91 kg weight means the mixer stays stable on the worktop and is moved only when the wheels are fitted. The footprint of 370 mm by 690 mm fits on most worktops without overhang.

Cleaning is done after each use: the bowl, spiral and rod are removed, washed in warm water with detergent, rinsed and dried. The grid and body are wiped with a damp cloth. The optional wheels are cleaned with a brush to remove flour and dough residue.

The IR17 VS is a single-speed model with variable-speed control. An optional set of four wheels—two with brakes and two without—is available for mobility.

This model is listed in the PIZZA GROUP catalogue under spiral mixers for professional bakeries and pizzerias.
