Clearance: Famag IM-10S Mixer, Dark Silver
This is an R1 clearance item. Please check the table below to see how we rate our clearance items.
Note: The product images on this page are of a new item, with the exception of any images marked “Clearance item”.

Italian-made Famag spiral dough mixers are world renowned for strength, quality, and outstanding baking results. Now they’re available in the U.S. for the first time, with industrial-duty motors designed specifically for U.S. voltage. As Famag's exclusive importer, Pleasant Hill Grain is proud to offer these high performance bread 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. An integrated offset breaker bar ensures ideal metering of the dough into the spiral hook. This action is exceptionally thorough and uniform, while avoiding both overworking and overheating of the dough. The spiral dough hook on the IM-10 operates at 80-240 RPM. Click herefor the approximate RPM at each speed.
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 removeable 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 hdyration dough, and cleaning the bowl after mixing low hydration dough is easily done with the bowl attached to the mixer.
The tilting head mixer is available in all the color options. The fixed head mixer is currently available in Arctic White, Ruby, and Dark Silver (we may add more colors in the future).
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. We now offer the new HH (high hydration) IM-10S mixerwith a special sprocket that allows the mixer to run up to 300 RPM; this version is designed specifically for mixing dough that's above 75% hydration.
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 13.8 lbs. (6.3 kg) down to 2.2 lbs (1 kg). Capacity of the stainless steel bowl is 14 quarts. Unlike inferior designs, 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.

We have Kitchen Aid, Hobart, and Axis mixers.
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.
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.
Received the mixer but have not used it as of yet. Delivery was quick. I will post review of mixer after the first use. The only down check so far was the packing peanuts that went all over my house and not recyclable.
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.
“Easy” is the first word that comes to mind. It is so capable, you expect it to be complex. Not so.
I recommend that you start out by reading the entire manual. Like any top quality machine, it requires maintenance.
The tilt head makes it a snap to clean.
The controls are easy to understand and simple to use. You don’t have to guess with the variable speed and powerful motor.
This machine will make it easier to produce the quality bread I bake for Community Loaves (communityloaves.org). Every other week, we donate the bread to our local Food Bank. Check ‘em out.
I will love my purchase for years to come.
Happy Owner
I have made over 2,000 loaves of bread in this machine since I got it in 2021. On the days I made 60 loaves, the machine did not even get warm. The density of the recipe in question sent two Kitchen Aid Pros to the repair shop. This is as close to a professional piece of equipment as most home bakers will ever need. I love that the top of mine tilts up for better access to the bowl—and the ability to remove the bowl to handle large amounts of dough, and for ease of cleaning.
I have considered this mixer for such a long time, wanting to increase my ability to better utilize my time in my home-based bakery. I have only had it for a short time, but I'm so impressed with this machine! The customer service offered at Pleasant Hill Grain is second to none. So thankful!
