Mixer Capacity Chart
Find the right mixer for your application.
Q
When mixing dough (pizza, bread or bagels) check your
"AR" absorption ratio - water weight divided by flour weight
Example: If recipe calls for 5 lb of water and 10 lb of flour,
then 5 divided by 10 = 0.50 x 100 = 50 % AR
Q
Below capacities based on 12% flour moisture at 70°F water temperature
Q
If high gluten flour is used, reduce dough batch size by 10%
Q
2nd speed should never be used on mixtures with less than 50% AR
Q
Do not use attachments on hub while mixing
