Pietro Berto - Fixed Bowl 200kg Fork Mixer

• Used in bakeries and patisseries for mixing various dough types, including bread, pizza, and pastry.
• Suitable for food production facilities requiring consistent, high-volume dough preparation.
• Utilised in industrial kitchens and catering operations for large-batch dough mixing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, a 200kg fork mixer typically refers to the maximum dough weight capacity, suitable for medium to large-scale production.

Mixing action

Fork mixers commonly employ a gentle, arm-like mixing action designed to develop dough gluten without overheating or overworking it.

Bowl type

Fixed bowl units, like this one, are typically integrated into a production line where dough is discharged directly into trolleys or onto conveyors.

Power supply

Units of this size commonly require a three-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Components in contact with food are typically made from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

While specific dimensions vary, fixed bowl mixers for 200kg capacity typically require a significant floor area and head height for operation and maintenance.

• What are the benefits of a fork mixer over a spiral mixer?

  Fork mixers are generally preferred for more delicate doughs, such as those for artisan bread, as they provide a gentler, slower mixing action that develops gluten without excessive heat or oxidation. Spiral mixers are often faster and more intensive.
