Tyron Fixed Head Heavy Duty 55L Spiral Mixer – SCP55

The Tyrone SCP55 is a 55 litre fixed-head spiral mixer with a 38 kg kneading capacity and a flour range of 0.25 to 25 kg — so it handles a trial batch as readily as a full one. Drive is belt plus a variable frequency drive giving 10 speeds with double action, and the panel memorises your preferred speed and runs programmable work steps. Important: it is specified for 50 to 57 % hydration doughs, and it needs a 415 V three-phase supply.

Why operators choose the SCP55

• Specified for 50 to 57 % hydration dough — check this before you buy - hydration is water weight as a percentage of flour weight, and many pizza and ciabatta recipes run wetter than 57 %
• 38 kg kneading capacity from a 0.25 kg minimum — the low end matters as much as the high: a mixer that cannot handle a quarter-kilo batch is useless for a trial or a small special
• 415 V three-phase — unlike the 45 litre model in this range, which runs single phase on 15 A, this machine needs a three-phase circuit - settle it before ordering
• Variable frequency drive, 10 speeds, double action — real speed control rather than two fixed gears, so one machine handles a slow autolyse and a fast final mix
• Memorises your preferred speed — the recipe survives a staff change instead of living in one person's head
• Programmable work steps with a digital timer — a multi-stage mix runs itself rather than needing someone watching the clock
• Inching reverse and positive reverse — short reverse bursts free a climbing or jammed dough without stopping and digging it out
• Automatically adjusts speed to maintain power output — it holds kneading force as the dough stiffens, rather than bogging down when the mix matters most
• Adjustable feet plus four castors — levels for daily use and rolls out for cleaning behind

Specifications

Venue suitability

The SCP55 suits bakeries, pizzerias, patisseries and production kitchens mixing 25 to 38 kg batches through the day. Two things decide it: the hydration band, and the three-phase supply — its 45 litre sibling runs single phase, so if your board has no three phase, look at that instead.

Installation & delivery

This is a three-phase appliance and must be hard-wired by a licensed electrician — it will not run from any power point. 415 V three-phase plus neutral at 3.3 kW; our data records no amperage, so your electrician will size the circuit from the kW. At 195 kg it is a multi-person move; it sits on adjustable feet with four castors so it levels in place and rolls out for cleaning. Allow clearance above the bowl for loading and for the safety guard to lift.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What does the 50 to 57 % hydration specification mean for me?

Hydration is water weight as a percentage of flour weight. This mixer is specified for the 50 to 57 per cent band, which covers most bread and many pizza doughs but not the wetter ones - plenty of pizza and ciabatta recipes run at 60 per cent or above. Work out your recipe's hydration before ordering.

Q: What supply does the SCP55 need?

415 V three-phase plus neutral at 3.3 kW, hard-wired by a licensed electrician. Our data records no amperage, so your electrician sizes the circuit from the kW figure. Note the 45 litre model in this range runs single phase on 15 A, so if three phase is not available that is the alternative.

Q: What is the smallest batch it will mix properly?

The flour range starts at 0.25 kg, so it handles a quarter-kilo test batch as well as a full 25 kg load.

Q: What does the inching reverse function do?

It drives the spiral backwards in short bursts. If dough climbs the hook or binds, a reverse burst frees it without you stopping the machine and reaching in.

Q: Does it remember settings between batches?

Yes. It memorises a preferred mixing speed and runs programmable work steps, so a multi-stage mix repeats the same way regardless of who is operating it.

Q: What warranty does the SCP55 come with?

Covered for 1 year on parts and labour. A further year of parts-only cover applies only if you register the product within 14 days of invoice — miss that window and the second year does not apply. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
