A spiral mixer is a specialized type of bakery mixer designed for efficiently mixing and kneading dough. It is commonly used in bakeries, pizzerias, and commercial kitchens. The spiral mixer gets its name from its unique mixing mechanism, which consists of a spiral-shaped agitator and a rotating bowl. As the mixer operates, the spiral agitator moves the dough in a spiral motion, gently kneading and stretching it to develop gluten and create a uniform texture. The rotating bowl ensures thorough mixing by keeping the dough in constant motion. Spiral mixers are known for their ability to handle larger quantities of dough and for their excellent dough development capabilities. They are favored for their reliability, efficiency, and the ability to produce high-quality bread, pizza dough, and other yeast-based products.
