Famag Spiral Dough Mixer for Home or Bakery
Italian-made Famag spiral mixers are world renowned for outstanding baking results. As Famag's exclusive importer, Pleasant Hill Grain is proud to offer these high performance mixers!
Engineered expressly for ideal dough-mixing and kneading results, Famag spiral mixers feature a spiral agitator that remains stationary while the bowl rotates, bringing the dough to the stainless steel dough hook with each revolution. This action is exceptionally thorough and uniform, while avoiding both overworking and overheating of the dough. An integrated offset breaker bar ensures ideal metering of the dough into the spiral hook. This three-way kneading process is exceptionally thorough and fast, yet the low impact and widely distributed dough contact of the spiral hook completely avoids overworking and overheating of the dough. Wide-range, infinitely variable speed adjustment lets you dial in precisely the action you want.
The IM-10 mixer is available in two dough hook RPM ranges: 98-245 or 130-312 RPM. Read about the difference between these models in the high hydration dough section below.
PROFESSIONAL DESIGN
Famag dough mixers feature heavy duty chain overhead drive, with a high torque dual-belt final drive. FAG sealed industrial ball bearings are used for exceptionally long life. Construction is robust throughout, as attested to by the mixer’s substantial 81.5 lb. weight. Epoxy powder coating over a steel cabinet protects the handsome appearance of your Famag bread mixer.

Tilting or Fixed Head
The Famag IM-10 mixer is available with either a tilting head that features a high lift drive and lift assist, or with a fixed head. The model with the fixed head is the IM-10, and the model with the tilting head and removable bowl is the IM-10S. The bowl is removable on the mixer with a tilting head, and is not removable on the mixer with a fixed head.
If you're mixing high hydration doughs we recommend you purchase the tilting head/removable bowl mixer so it's easier to remove the dough from the bowl, and to clean the bowl. It's easy to remove low hydration dough from the fixed head mixer than it is to remove high hydration dough, and cleaning the bowl after mixing low hydration dough is easily done with the bowl attached to the mixer.
HIGH HYDRATION OR HEAVY DOUGH
Thanks to the spiral hook’s action, mixtures that overtax other designs—such as pizza or bagel dough—are handled easily, quickly and efficiently in the Famag spiral dough mixer. Doughs of all kinds, from heavy to high-hydration artisan doughs, come out smooth, silky and perfectly developed.
The Famag IM-10S HH mixer is identical to the standard IM-10S Famag mixer, except that it has a special sprocket that allows the mixer to run at a faster RPM. The spiral hook on this model runs at 130-312 RPM, while the hook on the standard IM-10S mixer runs at 98-245 RPM. Click for the approximate RPM at each speed, for each model. The IM-10S HH mixer is designed specifically for high hydration dough (over 75% hydration). If you aren't planning to make a lot of high hydration dough, the mixer with the regular sprocket is a great option.
Famag dough mixers feature heavy duty chain overhead drive, with a high torque dual-belt final drive. FAG sealed industrial ball bearings are used for exceptionally long life. Construction is robust throughout, as attested to by the mixer’s substantial 81.5 lb. weight. Epoxy powder coating over a steel cabinet protects the handsome appearance of your Famag bread mixer.
SUPER CAPACITY RANGE
Famag's IM-10 mixes and kneads up to 22 lbs. (10 kg) of dough at 60% hydration (or more at a higher hydration), but also handles batches as small as 3.3 lbs. (1.5 kg) equally as well. In terms of flour capacity, this is 8.8 lbs. (4 kg) down to 2.2 lbs (1 kg). Capacity of the stainless steel bowl is 13.7 quarts. The kneading arm of the Famag lifts high for bowl access and removal, and provides lift-assist.

Notes

Speed Based on Hydration
Variable speed mixers have a speed dial marked from 1-10. For normal dough with a hydration of 55-65%, the mixer can be operated at speeds 1 through 5. With 65-75% hydration, at speeds 1 through 6-7, and with dough over 75% hydration, at speeds 1 through 8-10. These are general guidelines, as dough characteristics vary. If mixing dough that's less than 60% hydration, it's recommended to only fill the bowl to 50% capacity, and mix for only 10 minutes at a time; judgment must be exercised in any case, to avoid kneading dough so dry it’s outside of normal baking parameters, regardless of the hydration numbers. With dough over 60% hydration, dough can be mixed for up to 20-25 minutes before the mixer should be turned off for about 40 minutes.
FORWARD AND REVERSE MIXING
There are two buttons on the Famag mixer for controlling the direction of both the dough hook and bowl. The left arrow button moves the spiral hook in a downward motion, and the right arrow button moves the hook in an upward motion. The left arrow button can be referred to as the “forward” direction while the right arrow button can be referred to as the “reverse” direction.
Some users incorporate ingredients with the spiral hook turning in an upward motion, to reduce the amount of oxygen incorporated into the ingredients, and then switch to a downward motion to knead the dough. Others users prefer to mix with the hook turning in a downward motion from start to finish.

Thanks to the Zassenhaus Manual Bread Slicer, slicing homemade bread into perfectly uniform slices is as easy as turning a crank. This classic hand slicer combines nostalgia with modern German design, making toast or a sandwich made with your own fresh bread, a whole lot easier. The painted finish and classic wood base provides a beautiful touch to your kitchen.
If you want a precision tool for slicing and cutting homemade bread in your own kitchen, look no further! The Zassenhaus bread cutter features an ultra sharp stainless steel blade with a special serrated edge made in Solingen, Germany. The four suction cups on the bottom of the base help secure the bread slicer while slicing. We've found that the suction cups secure best to glass, marble, and quartz surfaces.
This manual bread slicer is sure to impress you with its highly adjustable design that allows you to choose the exact thickness of your slices, up to 0.7”. The Zassenhaus bread slicer is the perfect tool for slicing everything from crusty artisan bread to soft enriched breads. Adjust the knob on the base to the desired thickness of your slice, and turn the handle as you guide the bread along the blade. To clean, simply wipe carefully with a damp cloth.
Founded in 1867 as an export store for small steel goods and tools, Zassenhaus has become the epitome of high quality spice and coffee mills, as well as many other useful, high quality kitchen tools. Zassenhaus combines classic, timeless styles with reliable functionality and innovative design.

The best way to measure ingredients for baking is to weight them, and the OXO Good Grips Scale weighs up to 11 pounds in ounces, pounds, kilograms and grams. A feature we especially appreciate is the pull-out digital display so we can read the weight even when we have a large bowl on the scale.
Proofing dough in the round rattan proofing basket made by Frieling, with a basket liner, is an easy way to create a boule for a truly artisan-style bread. Proofing bags (pack of 100) are an easy way to keep the dough humid while it's proofing, so it doesn't dry out.
Scoring is the technique of slashing the top of bread dough with a lame to allow the bread to open up while rising, as it bakes. The Mure & Peyrot Adour scoring lame is easy to use, and comes with a cover to keep the blade protected when not in use. We do offer replacement blades.
The German-made Haussler Star dough stencil is a unique tool that is sure to delight! The stencil impresses an attractive star-shaped design in bread rolls and buns. It's especially good for making Austrian Kaiser rolls.
Maldon sea salt flakes from the shores of the Blackwater Estuary in England are a gourmet way to finish artisan breads. We like to sprinkle Maldon flakes on focaccia bread, and chocolate chip cookies too!
Also included is our favorite 100% Whole Wheat Bread recipe printed on a thick, glossy recipe card!
Gift wrapping not included.

It penetrates, stays put, and reduces friction virtually to zero. In a nutshell, that’s Syncoat®.
Ideal for culinary mixer drive chains, this full-synthetic formulation will keep your mixer running quite and smooth. By dramatically reducing wear, Syncoat® pays for itself many times over—not only in reduced replacement parts costs, but in saved maintenance and repair time as well. It gets into nooks and crannies that heavier greases can’t, and as a full synthetic it won't gum up and harden. Syncoat® is the perfect tool for a crucial job!

FAMAG is simply the best.
You can't get the mixing with a planetary the same as a spiral. It's no comparison. This is designed for dough, with no slapping against the bowl and low resistance on the drive. No countertop movement, no whine. I definitely will get another. Great customer service too. Awesome.
This is our first commercial grade mixer and it is the perfect size to start with for a micro-bakery. Thank you Pleasant Hill Grain for selling such great products and being a wonderful company to work with for baking supplies.
I have been making yeast breads for over 4 decades and a bit over a decade ago I got into milling our flour, then a few years ago I expanded I to sourdough. This ‘new to me’ style mixer is changing the way I approach developing gluten while being able to greatly increase the dough hydration line I never dreamed of! It’s oh so quiet & steady while being strong enough to tackle large batches of fresh milled whole grain bread dough.
And of course, ordering through & working with the Pleasant Hill Grain staff just makes the experience all that much better. Which is why I keep coming back to PHG.
We were so confident with the quality of the mixer and so pleased with customer service that we purchased our second Famag 10S from Pleasant Hill Grain.
It's a powerful small mixer. Great for small or home business. I love the mixer, my only regret is I ordered the fixed head instead of the tilting head.
An excellent, reliable, and easy to maintain mixer.
I felt the staff I worked with listened to my needs and delivered on them. They deserve a thanks! I needed the mixer quick and they got it to me by day three…Nebraska to Dallas. The mixer unfortunately did not work which was a big downer, but the videos coupled with the help from Darren who had a FedEx package with replacement parts to my house on a Sunday showed he knew how to work with me. I did not want to return it as that wasn’t good for either of us. I was able to change the parts out that same day they arrived and make dough that night. I have not used the mixer enough to make a judgement on the quality as again it didn’t work when it arrived, whether it picked up some static electricity or other issue is unknown. I changed the on/off switch and circuit board and it started right away.
This mixer has been a lifesaver for making my bulk sourdough! No more splashing when I add water after autolyse or accidental over mixing when I get busy with another task.
The FAMAG IM-10 mixer is a quality piece of equipment that is excellent for small-scale professional bakers and serious home bakers.
I purchased this mixer to help me scale up my semi-professional home bakery set-up and it did not disappoint. Now mixing is a lot less taxing on my arms, and the quality and consistency of the dough is noticeably improved.
On the whole, the mixer is easy to use, runs quietly for its size, and has no problems mixing a full bowl full of high-gluten dough at medium speed. I haven't tried using it with a full bowl at high speed (I haven't needed to), so I can't speak to that.
The instruction manual is simple and easy to understand, and has helped me easily troubleshoot one common issue already.
I have only one minor gripe: the handles used to lock the tilting head in place rotate in opposite directions to each other. This makes it a little confusing when trying to spin both at the same time to lock or unlock the head. However, this isn't a big deal once you get used to it.
Finally, I want to note that my experience with the customer service at Pleasant Hill Grain has been excellent - very friendly and helpful. To me this is really important, especially when ordering expensive equipment that requires ongoing maintenance, like the FAMAG IM-10.
