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 some making batches as small as 5 kilos, ranging up to models that can make 80 kilos of dough 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 needed 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 attachment pieces. 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 mixer: 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 5 kilos of dough, ranging up to heavy-duty spiral mixers that can prepare 80 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.

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, it also needs to be mixed and folded properly. 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 proofer 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, you can find extra large, heavy-duty spiral mixers that can produce huge volumes of dough. Depending on the specifications you’re looking for, you may want to consider something with enough space to make anywhere from 70 litres of dough up to 90 litres or more. 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 after your dough 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 mixer 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. 

Yes, many models we stock come with a variety of capacities, settings, custom controls and memory settings that allow you to pre-organise your dough-making. Certain models feature up to five speeds, along with timers that will automatically stop mixing when your dough is ready. If you want to change the colour, models from brands like Italmixer also have the option to change the powder finish if you’re looking for a particular aesthetic for your kitchen.
