Fixed bowls are generally more durable and provide more stability during the mixing process, not to mention being the cheaper of the two types. Removable bowl models allow for easier cleaning, removing dough and general maintenance.

Choosing the right commercial fork dough mixer can be a game-changer for your kitchen. Here are some key factors to consider when making your purchase:

• Capacity: When it comes to choosing a mixer, you need to consider how much dough your kitchen needs to produce every hourout and how much floor space you have available. But don't sweat it - at Restaurant Equipment Online, we've got you covered. Our range of commercial fork dough mixers has flour capacity ranging from 15 to 50kg and dough capacity ranging from 25 to 80kg. So whether you're running a small bakery or a bustling pizza joint, we've got the perfect mixer for you.

• Number of Arms: When considering a commercial fork dough mixer, one important factor to consider is the number of arms. Restaurant Equipment Online offers both single and double armed fork mixers. Double armed mixers are designed for high volume production and can handle larger quantities of dough, making them ideal for larger commercial kitchens and bakeries. The use of two arms allows for a more thorough and efficient mixing process, which can save time and increase productivity.
  For example, the Mecnosud Double Arm Mixer offered by Restaurant Equipment Online has a mixing capacity of up to 50kg of dough, making it ideal for high volume production. On the other hand, single armed mixers are better suited for smaller operations, such as cafes or small bakeries, where smaller quantities of dough are required.
  Overall, the number of arms on a commercial fork dough mixer can have a significant impact on productivity, with double armed mixers being better suited for high volume production and larger commercial kitchens and bakeries.
