Dough mixer Stalgast 786102

A dough mixer draws flour, water and yeast into a smooth, elastic mass by rotating a spiral hook through the bowl. The hook stretches and folds the dough repeatedly, developing gluten strands without tearing them. This method gives even hydration and consistent texture, whether for bread, pizza bases or sweet pastries.

The operator loads the dry ingredients into the bowl, attaches the hook, then pours in the liquid while the machine runs at low speed. Once the mass forms, the speed can be increased to finish the kneading. The bowl is removed, the dough portioned, and the next batch started without delay.

The Stalgast 12 litre model is built in stainless steel throughout, including the bowl, hook and all surfaces that touch food. The motor is rated at 0.55 kW, drawing current from a standard 230 V single-phase supply. A footprint of 300 mm depth, 550 mm width and 620 mm height allows it to sit on a worktop or a low stand. The 48 kg weight means two people can move it, but it stays stable during operation.

Controls are simple: an on-off switch and a speed selector. The selector adjusts the rotation rate of the hook, letting the operator match the speed to the dough's stage—slow for initial mixing, faster for final kneading.

The 12 litre volume holds enough dough for roughly 8 kg of finished product, making it practical for small bakeries, pizzerias and cafés that need frequent batches without overloading the motor. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is easy to sanitise after each use; the bowl and hook can be lifted out for thorough cleaning.

This model is a mid-range unit in the Stalgast catalogue, designed for daily use in professional kitchens where space and power are limited but consistent results are essential.
