SPIRAL MIXER 80 LITRES/25KG | Sheffield Africa Kenya

The HK-Redline BM-25 is a spiral dough mixer with an 80 litre bowl, rated to knead 25 kg of dough in a batch. Spiral mixers exist for bread: the spiral tool works the dough against a rotating bowl, developing gluten quickly while putting less friction heat into it than a planetary mixer does.

Keeping dough temperature down is the whole point, because an overheated dough ferments unpredictably and bakes badly. Two speeds, 122 and 245 rpm, cover the usual sequence: the slower for bringing flour and water together, the faster for developing the dough once it has come to a mass.

It draws 4.4 kW on a 380 V three-phase supply and weighs 332 kg, so it needs three-phase power and a solid floor. At 1065 × 603 × 1130 mm it is the smallest of the three spiral mixers here, ahead of the 50 kg BM-50 and 75 kg BM-75.
