Spiral Dough Mixers

Be sure to read the reviews on our spiral mixer pages. Here are a couple of previews of our spiral mixer reviews..."Wow! After using another top-quality spiral mixer, I'm amazed at the superior performance of the Famag IM-8S! For my usage, traditional Neapolitan and New York-style pizza dough, the breaker bar and wide-range variable speed control of the Famag IM-8S spiral mixer are revolutionary. I'm still just learning the mixer, and I've produced my best dough ever. It's built like a tank, and I think it will stand up well to the test of time. Pleasant Hill Grain was just great to deal with in the transaction, and they should be commended for carrying such unique specialty products in the US market!!" — Adam M. NH"I've been baking Euro style bread at home for more than ten years... My typical dough is about 6 lbs (2kg flour/1.3 liters water, 40g salt, 25g instant active dry yeast). The Alpha spiral mixer is perfect for this amount. I can now make the best quality dough I've ever made in about 15 minutes. I started out using a KitchenAid 600, broke two sets of those plastic gears, then went to a used Hobart 20qt. The Hobart was okay, but couldn’t knead smaller doughs or with the larger ones, the dough constantly started climbing up the hook and you end up spinning the dough and having to operate the bowl up and down to make it work. I've used the Alpha spiral mixer for two weeks now and it’s making the nicest doughs ever—robust but elastic and smooth. Pastry dough turns out beautifully as well, and best of all is the timer and two speeds. So far, no size dough I've made climbs up the hook thanks to the hook design and revolving bowl. The bowl size is perfect, I can let the dough rise in it right after kneading. I'm very, very happy. Buying from Pleasant Hill Grain was flawless too! This is the perfect kneading machine for home bakers." — Philip Z., NC
