Mecnosud SMM9944 Fixed Head/Bowl Economy Model Spiral Mixer 50Lt

The Mecnosud SMM9944 is a 50 litre spiral mixer producing 38 kg of finished dough from 25 kg of flour, with a fixed head and fixed bowl. Bowl, hook and shaft are stainless steel, the bowl turns at 10 rpm against a 100 rpm spiral, and it requires a minimum water-to-flour ratio of 50%. It runs single phase at 1.1 kW.

Why operators choose the ICE-SMM9944

• The economy model at this capacity — it makes the same 38 kg of dough as the SMM0044 in this range, from a 1.1 kW motor rather than that model's 1.5 kW, with a fixed head instead of a tilting one. That is where the saving comes from and it is worth knowing which corners were cut
• 50 litre bowl measuring 500 x 270 mm — this is the only Mecnosud spiral in the range that records its bowl dimensions as well as its volume - useful if you are checking a scraper or a lid against it
• Bowl, hook and shaft all stainless steel — the three parts in contact with dough. Stainless on all three is what survives daily wash-down
• Bowl 10 rpm, spiral 100 rpm — the two speeds quoted are the bowl and the tool, not two settings. A 10:1 ratio between them is what folds the dough through itself rather than dragging it round
• Minimum water-to-flour ratio of 50% — a stated floor, not a guideline - a drier dough is stiffer than the drive is rated for
• Supplied with castors — roll it out to clean behind rather than leaving a gap nobody reaches

Specifications

Venue suitability

The SMM9944 suits bakeries and pizzerias mixing 25 kg flour batches on a budget. Its tilting-head sibling the SMM0044 makes the same amount of dough from a larger motor — if the machine will be worked hard all day, that difference is worth looking at before deciding on price alone.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How much dough will it make?

38 kg of finished dough from 25 kg of flour, in a 50 litre bowl. Scale your recipe against the flour figure - that is the charge the drive is rated for.

Q: What is the minimum hydration?

50% water to flour. That is a floor rather than a recommendation: a drier dough is stiffer than the machine is rated to drive, and overloading a spiral mixer is how the drive gets damaged. Nearly every Mecnosud spiral records the same figure.

Q: What do the two speeds in the specifications mean?

They are not two settings you choose between - they are the bowl and the tool. The bowl turns at 10 rpm while the spiral turns at 100 rpm, and that 10:1 difference is what folds the dough through itself instead of dragging it round the bowl.

Q: What makes this the economy model?

Two things, and both are worth knowing. It makes the same 38 kg of dough as the SMM0044 but from a 1.1 kW motor where that model has 1.5 kW, and its head and bowl are fixed where the SMM0044's head tilts and its bowl comes out. If the machine will run batch after batch all day, the larger motor and the easier unload are what you are paying for.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

Single phase at 1.1 kW, roughly 4.6 amps, from a standard supply. No three-phase installation is required on this model.
