Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the main advantages of a twin arm dive mixer over a spiral mixer?

  Twin arm mixers are known for their gentle mixing action, which develops gluten slowly and effectively, preserving the dough's temperature and structure. This is particularly beneficial for high-hydration, artisan doughs, whereas spiral mixers are often faster and more robust for stiffer doughs.
