Heavy Duty 20l Dough Mixer Stainless
KSh64,499.00
| Feature | Spiral Dough Mixer (20L) | Planetary Food Mixer (20L) |
| Best For | Heavy bread, pizza, and pastry doughs. | Cakes, batters, whipping cream, and occasional light doughs. |
| How It Works | Both the bowl and the spiral hook rotate simultaneously to knead efficiently without overheating the dough. | The bowl stays fixed while the mixing attachment rotates on an axis (like planets orbiting). |
| Attachments | Fixed spiral hook. | Interchangeable attachments (Dough hook, Wire whip/whisk, Flat beater). |
| Flour Capacity | Higher capacity for heavy doughs (typically up to 8 kg of dry flour). | Lower capacity for heavy doughs (typically up to 3–5 kg to avoid straining the motor). |
A Heavy-Duty 20L Stainless Steel Dough Mixer is an essential commercial appliance designed for bakeries, pizzerias, and busy commercial kitchens.
Depending on your specific baking requirements, these machines generally fall into two major categories: Spiral Mixers (best strictly for doughs) or Planetary Mixers (versatile all-purpose mixers).

2. Key Technical Specifications
Most standard commercial 20L heavy-duty mixers share the following technical profiles:
-
Bowl Volume: 20 Liters (Approx. 21 Quarts).
-
Motor Power: Typically between 1.1 kW to 1.5 kW heavy-duty induction motors.
-
Power Supply: Usually 220V–240V (Single Phase), making it easy to plug into standard commercial outlets.
-
Speed Settings:
-
Spiral mixers: Usually 1 or 2 speeds optimized for stretching and folding.
-
Planetary mixers: Usually 3 fixed gear-driven speeds (Low, Medium, High).
-
-
Construction: Heavy-duty cast iron or steel body with a food-grade 304 Stainless Steel bowl, guard, and hooks for maximum hygiene and rust resistance.
-
Average Weight: Around 80 kg to 100 kg (Heavy cast bases prevent the machine from “walking” or vibrating across the floor during intense kneading).
3. Crucial Safety & Operational Features to Look For
⚠️ Safety Cage Auto-Off: Ensure the unit features a stainless steel wire safety guard. For commercial safety compliance, lifting the guard should instantly cut power to the motor to prevent accidents.
🛑 Emergency Stop Button: A prominent red slam-button on the control panel is vital for instant shut-offs.
⚙️ Overload Protection: Thermal overload switches protect the powerful motor from burning out if a batch of dough is too dense or oversized.
