Which Spiral Mixer Is Best Based On Mixing Frequency?
Join us as we discuss which spiral mixer is best based on the mixing frequency of your bakery’s production floor.
Transcription
Mixing frequency certainly plays a huge factor in determining which type of spiral mixer is right for you. If you have a lower frequency, a fixed-bowl mixer might just be the answer for you. But if you have high mixing frequency, and you’re producing several batches – and you need to get one batch in after the next, a removable or a self tilting bowl mixer probably might be a better fit for your situation.
In addition, if you have a part of your process that requires a lot of bowl resting time, where your dough is sitting in the bowl, a fixed bowl mixer is no longer usable. So if you have a removable mixer, you can now remove that bowl and you now have a mixer that’s capable of doing something else If you go back to work.
