Mecnosud Spiral Mixer - Tilting Head Removable Bowl 15Kg

The Mecnosud SMM0018 is a 20 litre spiral mixer producing 15 kg of finished dough from 10 kg of flour, with a tilting head and removable 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 0.9 kW.

Why operators choose the ICE-SMM0018

• Tilting head and removable bowl — the head lifts and the bowl comes out. On a spiral mixer that is the difference between scooping dough over a fixed rim and simply lifting the bowl away - it also makes proper cleaning possible
• 15 kg of finished dough from 10 kg of flour — a working batch for a small bakery or a pizzeria
• 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 SMM0018 suits pizzerias, cafes and small bakeries. It is the smallest Mecnosud spiral with a tilting head and removable bowl, which is the feature worth paying for if the machine will be used several times a day — the fixed-head models are simpler but unload and clean less easily.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How much dough will it make?

15 kg of finished dough from 10 kg of flour, in a 20 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 does the tilting head and removable bowl give me?

Access. The head lifts clear and the bowl lifts out, so the dough comes away with the bowl rather than being scooped over a fixed rim, and both parts can be cleaned properly. On a machine used several times a day that is the difference between a two-minute changeover and a chore.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

Single phase at 0.9 kW, roughly 3.8 amps, from a standard supply. No three-phase installation is required on this model.
