Dough mixer SIGMA TAUROLABO

A spiral mixer draws the dough up the sides of the bowl with a rotating spiral hook, then folds it back into the centre. This kneading action stretches the gluten strands evenly without overheating, giving bread and pizza dough the elastic structure that traps gas and creates an open crumb. The fixed bowl and heavy-duty mechanics allow the mixer to handle hard doughs and continuous production without straining the motor or bearings.

The operator loads the flour and water into the stainless steel bowl, fits the transparent PETG cover and selects a stored recipe or sets the five mixing phases manually. The electronic panel controls the spiral speed in five steps plus a pause, with continuous variation via an inverter for precise adjustment. Once the programme finishes, the bowl inverts to tip the dough out cleanly, helped by the well-rounded bottom that prevents flour from sticking.

Construction centres on a three-phase motor driving a stainless steel spiral and contrast rod on pre-lubricated ball bearings. The fixed bowl is also stainless steel, with a 48 L volume that accepts up to 22 kg of flour and a minimum of 12 L of water. A bench unit measuring 730 mm wide, 690 mm deep and 820 mm high, it weighs 96 kg, so it stays stable on the worktop during intensive use.

The 1.55 kW motor draws a steady load suitable for a three-phase supply, while the programmable panel stores up to twenty recipes, each with five phases, to repeat consistent results across shifts. The five speeds plus pause and continuous variation let the operator match the kneading action to different dough types, from soft brioche to firm bagel dough.

Cleaning follows the stainless steel surfaces: the bowl, spiral and contrast rod are removed for washing, while the PETG cover lifts off for separate cleaning. The pre-lubricated bearings require no daily maintenance, and the heavy-duty mechanics are built for long service without adjustment.

The catalogue places the Tauro Labo 48 L in the professional bakery section, alongside other fixed-bowl spiral mixers for medium-scale production.
