Ask a Question About This Product
The BM.40S is a 40-litre spiral dough mixer built for high-volume commercial bakeries, hotel kitchens, and catering operations. It processes batches of dough for bread, pizza, and pastry production using a fixed-speed spiral hook, planetary paddle, and wire whisk. Operators run continuous cycles during prep shifts in facilities producing 50–200 kg of dough per day.
Commercial Application
This mixer handles batch mixing for dough types that require gluten development or aeration. The spiral hook works dough at controlled speeds without overheating. The planetary paddle mixes batters, fillings, and cake mixtures. The wire whisk aerates meringue, cream, and egg-based preparations.
Used during morning prep cycles in bakeries and before service in restaurant kitchens. The 40-litre bowl processes one full batch of pizza dough for a 60-cover service or 15 kg of bread dough per cycle. Operators switch attachments between batches using a locking collar system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the bowl and attachments?
A: The bowl, spiral hook, paddle, and whisk are manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel. This alloy resists corrosion from acidic dough and meets food-contact standards in UK, EU, and North American commercial kitchens.
Q: What is the maximum dough weight this mixer can handle per batch?
A: The BM.40S processes up to 15 kg of bread dough or 12 kg of pizza dough per cycle based on hydration levels. Exceeding these weights risks motor strain and incomplete mixing at the bowl base.
Q: Does the unit include adjustable speed control or fixed speeds?
A: The digital control panel offers three fixed speed settings: 65 RPM for dough, 140 RPM for batters, 280 RPM for whipping. Operators select speed using push-button controls with LED indicators.
Q: Can the bowl and attachments go through a commercial dishwasher?
A: The stainless steel bowl and attachments tolerate commercial dishwasher cycles at 82°C rinse temperature. The polycarbonate bowl guard withstands temperatures up to 95°C without warping.
Q: What electrical connection does this mixer require?
A: The BM.40S operates on 220–240V single-phase or 380V three-phase supply at 50/60 Hz. Maximum power draw is 1.7 kW with a 16A circuit breaker recommended for single-phase installations.
