Mecnosud M50MV 73.9 Qt Spiral Dough Mixer, Variable Speed 95-280 RPM, 110 lb Dough Capacity

The Mecnosud M50MV is a variable-speed commercial spiral dough mixer built for pizzerias, bakeries, and pastry shops that require precise control over dough development across a wide range of formulas and hydration levels. Made in Italy, it features a 70-liter (73.9 qt.) stainless steel bowl, handles up to 110 lbs. (50 kg) of dough per batch at 55% hydration, and delivers spiral speeds continuously variable from 95 to 280 RPM. This combination of capacity and variable speed control makes the M50MV particularly well-suited for high-hydration doughs that demand careful speed management throughout the mixing cycle.

Variable Spiral Speed from 95 to 280 RPM

Unlike fixed dual-speed mixers, the M50MV allows the operator to dial in spiral hook speed continuously across the full range of 95 to 280 RPM using the onboard speed variator. This level of control is critical when working with high-hydration doughs, delicate pastry formulas, or recipes that require a gradual ramp-up in mixing intensity to avoid overheating or overworking the dough. The bowl rotates at a fixed 15 RPM, providing steady, consistent product movement through the spiral hook regardless of which spiral speed is selected. The control panel includes a dedicated timer, speed variator, start button, and an emergency stop for operator safety.

Semi-Spherical Bowl with Integrated Dough-Cutting Rod

The 70-liter stainless steel bowl is designed with a semi-spherical bottom featuring a curved radius — referred to as a bread-type profile — which promotes more thorough dough contact with the spiral hook throughout each rotation. The bowl measures 21.7" x 11.8" (55 x 30 cm) and is paired with a dough-cutting rod shaped with an integrated dough scraper. The cutting rod prevents the dough mass from wrapping around the hook and ensures it is continuously broken down and reintroduced into the mixing zone, supporting even gluten development and a more uniform finished dough without manual intervention.

Belt-Driven Transmission with 3 HP Geared Motor

The M50MV uses a belt-driven transmission system powered by a 3 HP geared motor. Belt drive systems absorb vibration and mechanical shock more effectively than direct gear drives, resulting in quieter operation and reduced wear on drivetrain components over time. The geared motor provides consistent torque delivery across the full variable speed range, ensuring the spiral hook maintains adequate power even at lower RPM settings where torque demand on stiff or high-density doughs is highest. This architecture supports extended daily use without the mechanical fatigue common in lighter-duty single-phase machines.

The bowl, spiral hook, shaft, and cover grid protection are all constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, durability, and easy sanitation between batches. The machine frame is built from thick steel coated in non-toxic paint. The M50MV runs on single-phase 220V/60Hz power at 13 amps, making it compatible with standard single-phase electrical service. It ships wired with no plug and is mounted on casters with two leveling front feet for stable, flexible placement.
