Mecnosud Spiral Mixer - Tilting Head Removable Bowl Single Speed

The Mecnosud SMM0044 is a 50 litre spiral mixer producing 38 kg of finished dough from 25 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 1.5 kW.

Why operators choose the ICE-SMM0044

• Tilting head and removable bowl — the head lifts and the bowl comes out - the dough leaves with the bowl rather than being scooped over a rim, and both parts clean properly
• A 1.5 kW motor at this capacity — the economy SMM9944 makes the same 38 kg of dough from 1.1 kW. The extra power is what you are buying if the machine will work batch after batch all day
• The largest single-phase spiral in the Mecnosud range — above this the range moves to three-phase dual-motor machines, which is an installation job rather than a plug
• 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 SMM0044 suits bakeries and pizzerias mixing 25 kg flour batches repeatedly through a shift. It is the top of the single-phase Mecnosud range — the 60 kg model above it is three-phase with separate bowl and spiral motors, which is a different class of installation.

Installation & delivery

Single phase at 1.5 kW — roughly 6.3 A, so it runs from a standard supply with no three-phase work. Dimensions are recorded width x height x depth: 860 x 790 x 530 mm. Our data records no weight for this model. It is supplied on castors, so leave room to roll it out for cleaning.

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: How does this compare to the SMM9944?

Same output - 38 kg of finished dough from 25 kg of flour into a 50 litre bowl. Two differences: this model runs a 1.5 kW motor where the SMM9944 has 1.1 kW, and this head tilts with a removable bowl where the SMM9944's are fixed. If the machine will be worked hard through a shift, both differences matter; for one batch a day the economy model is the sensible buy.

Q: What is the next size up?

The SMM1060, which makes 60 kg of dough from 40 kg of flour into a 100 litre bowl. Be aware it is a different class of machine, not just a bigger one - it is three phase with separate motors for the bowl and the spiral, so it needs an electrician and a three-phase supply.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

Single phase at 1.5 kW, roughly 6.3 amps, from a standard supply. No three-phase installation is required on this model.
