Famag IM-20 HH Mixer
Italian-made Famag spiral mixers are world renowned for strength, quality, and outstanding baking results. Now they’re available in the U.S., 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 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. The spiral dough hook on the IM-30 HH operates at 90-248 RPM, with a hook to bowl ratio of 1:11. Click here for the approximate RPM at each speed.
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.
Professional Design
Famag IM-20 HH mixers feature a heavy duty, high torque chain-and-belt power drive. FAG sealed industrial ball bearings are used for exceptionally long life. Construction is robust throughout, as attested to by the mixer’s substantial 161 lb. weight. Epoxy powder coating over a steel cabinet protects the handsome appearance of your Famag mixer.
SUPER CAPACITY RANGE
Famag's IM-30 HH mixes and kneads up to 55 lbs. (25 kg) of dough at 60% hydration (or more at a higher hydration), but also handles batches as small as 7.7 lbs. (3.5 kg) equally as well. In terms of flour capacity, this is 26.4 lbs. (12 kg) down to 4.8 lbs (2.2 kg). Capacity of the stainless steel bowl is 30 quarts (31.7 liters).

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.

I have a small bakery business selling bread on weekends at a farmers market, and I ordered this mixer to help make my dough preparation more efficient. I've had the IM-20 for 3 years and I couldn't be more pleased with it. It works well with small batches as well as large ones. I routinely mix 35+lbs of sourdough at 77% hydration, and the mixer always handles it well. I've used it for 1000's of loaves worth of dough and have never had any issues with it. The variable speed is very useful, both for more intensive mixes as well as matching the mixing speed to the dough. The quality of the dough with the spiral mixer is also better than my previous mixer, which was a 20qt planetary mixer.
One useful aspect of this mixer is that its power requirements are relatively low. It is rated at 750 watts. This means that, while the mixer is wired for 230 volts, using a heavy duty transformer and power cord adapter, I can plug it into any regular outlet in my kitchen without ever overloading the circuit, making it a very flexible tool.
The one difficult thing with this mixer, as with any spiral mixer with a fixed bowl, is cleaning it after use, or rather getting the water out of the bowl after cleaning it. The best way I've found is to wheel the mixer to my sink, and use a large sponge to soak and mop up the water from washing and rinsing.
This mixer is one of the best investments I've made for my little bakery, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs more mixing capacity than a small kitchen mixer, but has limited space, or limited electrical power available.
The first high hydration batch came together so well I was amazed, even after watching videos etc., better window pane- great mixer!
We couldn't be happier with the FAMAG IM-20. Everything from the customer service from Darren to the prompt shipping and then the excitement to unbox it and get to enjoy this incredible machine. The motion of the mixer is everything we hoped it would be, it is clearly a well made and thoughtfully designed mixer from an Italian brand that is synonymous with excellence. It was well worth the investment and we anticipate it will be with us for many years to come. It operates quietly and produces an excellent dough for our Neapolitan pizza business. If you've been wondering about whether to invest in a FAMAG, don't think any more, just get one! You will love it!!! Thank you Darren, your help was invaluable.
After some research, I bought this FAMAG IM-20 spiral mixer, allowing me to make 12 artisan sourdough loaves at a batch. While I have only had this mixer a week, I am confident it will give me better dough, without those occasional lumps. And, save the old arthritic hands all that work!
I'm so happy to buy this mixer, it's a wonderful mixer
