Tyron Fixed Head Heavy Duty 23L Spiral Mixer – SCP23

The Tyrone SCP23 is a 23 litre fixed-head spiral mixer with a 360 x 210 mm bowl, taking 0.25 to 8 kg of flour. What separates it from a conventional spiral mixer is the drive: ten speeds on a variable frequency drive, with the machine able to memorise your preferred mixing speed and run programmable work steps. It is rated for a 50 to 57% hydration recipe and runs from a standard 10 A outlet.

Why operators choose the SCP23

• A working range from 0.25 kg of flour — the minimum matters as much as the maximum. Most spiral mixers cannot mix a quarter-kilo batch usefully, and this one is rated to - which is what makes it viable for a venue doing small runs of several doughs rather than one large one
• Rated for 50 to 57% hydration — a stated working window rather than a vague claim. Wetter or drier than that and you are outside what the machine is specified for
• Ten speeds on a variable frequency drive — not two fixed speeds but a VFD-controlled range, and the machine remembers the speed you prefer. That matters if you run several dough types on one mixer
• Programmable work steps with a timer — set a sequence rather than standing at the controls. Combined with the speed memory it makes the result repeatable between staff
• Automatically adjusts speed to maintain power output — as the dough stiffens the load rises; the drive compensates instead of bogging down
• Inching reverse and positive reverse — jog the bowl backwards to free dough and help unloading, which on a fixed-head machine is the awkward part
• Digital panel showing speed and operating time — both read rather than estimated, which is what makes a recipe repeatable
• Error code system — a fault reports itself rather than presenting as a machine that will not start
• Overload and overheat protection — built in. A spiral mixer working stiff dough draws hard, and these are what stop an overloaded batch becoming a motor replacement
• Adjustable feet and four castors — level it where it stands, roll it out to clean behind
• Safety guard included — fitted as standard

Specifications

Venue suitability

The SCP23 suits pizzerias, cafes and bakeries running several different doughs rather than one large batch — the 0.25 kg minimum and the ten-speed drive are what make that practical. It runs from a standard outlet, so there is no electrical work to budget for.

Installation & delivery

Standard 10 A outlet — 1.3 kW is about 5.4 A, so no electrical work is required. Dimensions are recorded width x depth x height: 500 mm wide, 730 mm deep, 770 mm tall, weighing 120 kg — it is a floor-standing machine despite the modest footprint, so plan the delivery path. It packs at 600 x 860 x 890 mm. Level it on the adjustable feet once positioned.

Warranty condition: the second year of parts cover applies only if the product is registered within 14 days of invoice. Register it on delivery — it is easy to miss and it halves the cover if you do.

Warranty terms are per product — see our warranty information page.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What does the variable frequency drive actually give me?

Ten speeds instead of the usual two, and the ability to hold a chosen speed under changing load. The machine automatically adjusts to maintain power output as the dough stiffens, so it does not bog down at the end of a mix. It will also memorise your preferred speed and run programmable work steps, which is what makes the result repeatable between staff.

Q: What is the smallest batch it will mix?

0.25 kg of flour, up to a maximum of 8 kg. That low minimum is unusual - most spiral mixers cannot mix a quarter-kilo batch properly because the hook cannot engage so little dough. If you run several small doughs rather than one big one, that is the specification to note.

Q: What hydration can it handle?

It is rated for a 50 to 57% hydration recipe. That is a stated working window, so if you are running a high-hydration dough outside that range, talk to us before ordering rather than assuming it will cope.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

A standard 10 amp outlet - 1.3 kW is roughly 5.4 amps. No electrical work required.

Q: How do I get the full two-year warranty?

The cover is 1 year parts and labour, plus a second year of parts only - but the second year applies only if you register the product within 14 days of the invoice. Register it when it is delivered; missing that window leaves you with one year.
