Commercial Spiral Mixers

We have a broad range of commercial spiral mixers with options to suit a range of establishments. You can find various sizes, with compact models starting at 10 kilos, ranging up to models that handle batches of 200 kilos or more. When it comes to the specifications, there are single- and dual-speed options, giving you the ability to control how fast you want your dough kneaded to ensure optimal results.

Equally, if you want something with a slightly different mixing format, we also stock a range of planetary mixers that come with additional attachments. If you want something purely for dough, we recommend a spiral mixer, but if you need something with whisking attachments for things like cream, a planetary mixer is also a great investment.

As with any appliance, you want to make sure you’re choosing the right one for your kitchen’s needs to get the best results and return on your investment. There are a few key factors to consider when you’re choosing the best Commercial Spiral Mixers: capacity, speed, bowl type, and any additional features you might want or need.

Capacity is the most important factor when you’re narrowing down your options. You may already have an idea of the volume or weight of dough you need on a daily basis. If you do, we recommend looking for an option that can deliver around 20% more than your maximum needs. We stock models that are compact and make smaller batches of around 10 kilos of dough, ranging up to heavy-duty spiral mixers that handle batches of 200 kilos or more. Doing this will not only give you some leeway if your requirements increase but also make your spiral mixer easier in the long term.

Keep in mind that bowl capacity is not the same as weight capacity. A 200 litre bowl doesn’t output 200 kilos, and its input isn’t 200 kilos either. Every mixer has a maximum flour weight, and exceeding it risks overloading the motor. That isn’t a manufacturing defect, so your warranty won’t cover it.

Speed is another important factor when choosing a mixer. You don’t want to overwork your dough, or you’ll risk getting flat and chewy results. However, the dough also needs to be properly developed. Choosing options with dual-speed options that can be adjusted to different dough types, along with additional features like timers that’ll automatically switch off when your dough is done make this process smoother. It’ll then be ready to be shaped by your dough roller or put into a bread prover before baking.

Looking at the bowl type may seem inconsequential, but both fixed and removable bowls have their unique benefits. Removable bowls are easier to clean, while fixed bowl spiral mixers are often more resilient and can be more efficient.

If you’re unsure of which specifications will suit your bakery or restaurant, we’re happy to help you choose. Contact the team at REO at any stage and we’ll be able to give you a personal recommendation.

Yes, we supply heavy-duty spiral mixers built for high-volume baking, including models that handle batches of 200 kilos or more. If you need something larger than what you can see in the collection, we can source it on request, so contact the team at REO and let us know what you need. Many large models also come with helpful functionality like twin arms that can take care of kneading, lifting, stretching and folding - streamlining the process and saving you labour hours.

Twin speed not only helps with more mixing and kneading but also enables you to get the best results every time you’re making bread. For example, the first speed setting may be used just for mixing your dry and wet ingredients, while the second setting is for developing the dough after it has rested but before it’s ready to be put in the oven. Having twin-speed or multiple-speed settings generally will give you more versatility, with better options when it comes to different flour and bread types.

Cleaning and maintaining your Commercial Spiral Mixers will depend on the brand and bowl type you’ve opted for. If you’ve chosen a model with a removable bowl, cleaning it is as simple as disconnecting the bowl and spiral arm to wash them.

If you have a fixed bowl, you’ll need to adjust the way you clean somewhat. Each model will have slightly different requirements, so we recommend checking the manufacturer's instructions. Equally, regularly check the moveable parts and motor to ensure it’s adequately lubricated and add oil if and when needed.

Yes, absolutely! We know that not everyone needs high volumes of dough, but we also understand you may simply not have a lot of space to store extra appliances like spiral mixers. Our range includes smaller models that are ideal for bakeries, offering 10 to 20 litres of capacity. They don’t need to be filled to maximum capacity either, meaning you can adjust and refine how much you make without needing to get a large model.

There are no custom spiral mixers, and you won’t need one. Spiral mixers come in 5 kilo increments - 10 kilos, 15 kilos, 20 kilos, 25 kilos and up - so a size that fits your operation almost always exists off the shelf. Certain models feature up to five speeds, along with timers that will automatically stop mixing when your dough is ready and memory settings that let you pre-organise your dough-making.
