Description
Famag IM-8S Mixer for High Hydration Dough
The Famag IM-8S HH mixer is identical to the standard , 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 80-300 RPM, while the hook on the standard IM-8S mixer runs at 80-240 RPM. The IM-8S HH mixer is designed specifically for high hydration dough (over 75% hdydration). The HH mixer on this page has a tilting head and removable bowl, to make it easier to remove dough from the mixer and clean the bowl after use. Please see our main for full description of the mixer. (If you aren't planning to make a lot of high hydration dough, the mixer with the regular sprocket is a great option.)

“Just got my Famag. First run was twenty pounds of stollen dough. This starts out very dry, as most of the moisture comes from butter. The Famag didn’t blink. Just effortlessly mixed and kneaded… It’s a beast!”
