Consider Spiral Mixers to Get the Right Dough

So what is special about a spiral mixer? Simply explained; spiral mixers are designed to mix only a portion of the dough at a time. This results in just the right amount of kneading and gives the nonactive dough a resting time. This is one of the reasons a spiral mixer is popular for professionals producing bread and pizza doughs. Designed to permit a good gluten structure but not over mixing which can ruin the dough quality. Globe's GSM spiral floor mixers offer the right mixing performance for even stiff dough with less hydration as well as high absorbing doughs such as those made for ciabatta.

Like a planetary mixer, the spiral comes with various speeds. These have very specific dough functions; Low speed is for bringing together your ingredients into a uniform unit. The higher speed is when that previously mentioned gluten building function happens. Truly the spiral mixer is designed for dough only. Bowl rotation brings the dough up to spiral hook with a breaker bar dividing it so only a partial amount gets kneaded. The dough hook of the Globe GSM spirals is permanently attached. If you are looking to use paddles or other attachments, this is not the mixer for your business.

So, if high quality bread and or pizza dough is important to your business, you need to take a closer look at Globe Food Equipment's spiral mixers. The models we offer are the GSM130 and GSM175. Unlike planetary mixers named for bowl sizing, the spiral mixers are named for the maximum amount of dough they can mix up. (The GSM130 is for 130 lb. and the GSM175 is for 175 lbs.) Worth mentioning, these machines can mix smaller batches, as low as 25% of that maximum.
