What Dough Mixer is Easiest to Use? – Ergonomics

 

Which Spiral Mixer Is the Easiest to Use?

Join us as we discuss which spiral mixer is the easiest for operators to use on the production floor. This includes helping to avoid operator strain and labor reduction.

 

Transcription

Another factor to consider would be strain on the bakers. A fixed bowl mixer has the unfortunate inability to self discharge, so your baker is going to need to reach down into that bowl. They either have the knife and they’re cutting out big chunks, or if they’re very strong, they’re taking a big mass of that dough and throwing it up onto a table. That repeated effort is something we’re trying to avoid.

A self tilting mixer, certainly right off the bat, is going to eliminate that discharge situation. It’s going to get you onto a table or into a machine.

The removable mixer doesn’t necessarily remove that strain, but if you put it together with a bowl lift, now you’re, eliminating that strain and you’re getting that dough out of that bowl, way more efficiently than with someone having to manually discharge the bowl.
