PLANETARY AND SPIRAL MIXERS

Countertop planetary mixers and spiral kneaders for pastry and bakery workshops: planetary mixers (KitchenAid-style) suit small volumes and versatile jobs (creams, light doughs, whipping), while spiral kneaders handle larger volumes of bread and pizza dough.

Fama spiral kneader range: available with fixed head or lifting head, 18 or 25kg capacity. The catalogue also includes the RGV Pastaprof 10-litre planetary mixer and the Easten Premium EF716 mixer with accessories.

For planetary mixer and kneader spare parts see Kneader Spare Parts.

Frequently asked questions

Is a planetary mixer or a spiral kneader better?
The planetary mixer is more versatile for small volumes and mixed jobs (creams, whipping, light doughs); the spiral kneader is designed specifically for large quantities of bread and pizza dough.

Fixed or lifting head on the Fama spiral kneader?
The lifting head makes cleaning and dough removal easier and costs more; the fixed head is cheaper and more compact.

  • <p>Fama planetary mixers from the Baker PM/PK line, a step up from the KitchenAid-style planetary mixers for larger processing volumes while keeping the planetary mixer's versatility.</p> <p><strong>Models available</strong>: <strong>PM5</strong> (5 litres), <strong>PM7</strong> (7 litres) and <strong>PK8</strong> (8 litres) — intermediate capacities between the compact planetary mixers and the large-volume Bakerline mixers.</p> <p>For even larger capacities see <a href="/en/fama-planetary-mixers-bakerline.html">Bakerline Planetary Mixers</a>; for the compact range see <a href="/en/kitchenaid-fama-planetary-mixers.html">KitchenAid Fama Planetary Mixers</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>What's the difference from the KitchenAid Fama planetary mixers?</strong><br>The Baker PM/PK line offers greater capacity (5-8 litres versus 4.5-6.9), designed for more intensive use.</p> <p><strong>When is it worth moving up to the Bakerline?</strong><br>If your processing volume consistently exceeds 8 litres, the Bakerline offers capacities from 10 to 30 litres.</p>
  • <p>Fama planetary mixers from the Bakerline range, the largest-capacity line for workshops with intensive pastry-making and baking production.</p> <p><strong>Capacities</strong>: from <strong>10 litres</strong> (three-phase or single-phase) to <strong>20 litres</strong> (single-phase) up to <strong>30 litres</strong> (three-phase or single-phase) — the largest size in the Fama planetary mixer range.</p> <p>For smaller capacities see <a href="/en/fama-planetary-mixers-baker-pm-pk.html">Baker PM/PK Planetary Mixers</a> or <a href="/en/kitchenaid-fama-planetary-mixers.html">KitchenAid Fama Planetary Mixers</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>Which Bakerline capacity should I choose?</strong><br>10 litres for workshops with medium-to-high production, 20-30 litres for very intensive processing volumes.</p> <p><strong>Single-phase or three-phase: which is better?</strong><br>It depends on the power connection available in your workshop: both versions are available on the 10 and 30 litre models.</p>

  • <p>The Fama spiral mixer with a <strong>fixed head</strong> is designed for workshops handling medium-to-high hydration doughs (bread, pizza, focaccia): the spiral hook rotates around the fixed bowl, reproducing the motion of hand-kneading with less dough overheating than a plunging-arm mixer.</p> <p><strong>Capacity</strong>: 18 or 25 kg of flour per batch. <strong>Power supply</strong>: single-phase or three-phase version depending on the connection available in your workshop. <strong>Two speeds</strong>: on DV models the first speed blends the ingredients, the second (faster) develops the final gluten structure of the dough.</p> <p><strong>Fixed or tilting head</strong>: compared to the <a href="/en/fama-spiral-mixers-tilting-head.html">tilting head</a> version, the fixed head is smaller and cheaper; the tilting version flips up to make it easier to clean the bowl and remove the dough.</p> <p>For mixer spare parts see <a href="/en/kneaders.html">Mixer Spare Parts</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>Is 18 or 25 kg capacity better?</strong><br>18kg is enough for workshops with regular small-to-medium production; 25kg pays off with larger volumes or dough prepared in a single batch.</p> <p><strong>What is the second speed for?</strong><br>It lets you blend at low speed and then develop the gluten structure at a higher speed, for a stronger gluten network on bread and pizza doughs.</p>
  • <p>The Fama spiral mixer with a <strong>tilting head</strong> adds to the fixed-head version the ability to flip the hook assembly upward: the bowl stays fully accessible for cleaning and for removing the dough without having to scrape it out by hand from the bottom.</p> <p><strong>Capacity</strong>: 18 or 25 kg of flour per batch. <strong>Power supply</strong>: single-phase or three-phase. <strong>Two speeds</strong>: on DV models the first speed blends the ingredients, the second develops the dough's gluten structure.</p> <p><strong>When the tilting head is worth it</strong>: especially in workshops running several dough batches a day, where quick bowl cleaning and easy dough removal save time on every batch. Compared to the <a href="/en/fama-spiral-mixers-fixed-head.html">fixed head</a>, the price is higher but day-to-day operation is more convenient.</p> <p>For mixer spare parts see <a href="/en/kneaders.html">Mixer Spare Parts</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>Is the extra cost over the fixed head worth it?</strong><br>Yes if you process several batches a day: the time saved on cleaning and dough removal quickly offsets the price difference.</p> <p><strong>Does the tilting head need more maintenance?</strong><br>No, the lifting mechanism is robust and only needs the same routine maintenance as the fixed head.</p>
