Mecnosud SP160 264 Qt Spiral Dough Mixer, Dual Speed Hook and Bowl, 233 lb Flour Capacity

The Mecnosud SP160 spiral dough mixer is built for high-volume pizza shops, bakeries, and restaurants that require consistent, professional-quality dough with every batch. Manufactured in Italy, it features a 250-liter stainless steel bowl and a dual-motor system designed to handle up to 233 pounds of flour per batch at 55 percent hydration. This mixer delivers the reliability, batch consistency, and uptime needed in demanding commercial environments.

Two Independent Motors for Hook and Bowl

The SP160 uses two separate motors, one for the spiral hook and one for the bowl, instead of sharing power from a single motor. This independent design allows each component to run at its optimal load, reducing mechanical strain and heat buildup. As a result, both drive systems last longer and require less maintenance. In busy kitchens where the mixer runs multiple cycles daily, this setup ensures reliable, consistent performance with fewer service interruptions.

Dual-Speed Hook with Reversible Bowl

The spiral hook offers two speeds, allowing precise control over each stage of dough development. Low speed handles initial mixing and hydration, while high speed builds gluten and final dough structure. The bowl reverses direction to improve folding and ensure even ingredient distribution. Two built-in timers let operators program each speed phase, reducing manual steps and supporting consistent results across shifts.

Trapezoidal Belt Drive System

The trapezoidal belt drive system transmits power quietly, reducing mechanical noise in busy kitchens where multiple machines run at once. This design maintains drive efficiency and torque while absorbing vibration better than direct gear drives. Less vibration means less stress on bearings and structural parts, extending the mixer's service life.

Stainless Steel Bowl, Spiral, Shaft, and Lift Cage

The 250-liter bowl, spiral hook, shaft, and lift cage are all made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and long-term durability under heavy use. The stainless steel lift cage adds operator protection during mixing. The frame uses thick steel with a non-toxic paint finish that meets food safety standards and stands up to daily wear in commercial kitchens. The SP160 comes standard with a mechanical control panel, with an optional electronic controller for advanced process control. The electronic controller lets operators program variable speed sequences, set timers for each mixing phase, and add rest periods between stages. This supports complex or multi-stage dough formulas. The mixer ships pre-wired without a plug and includes casters for easy placement anywhere in the kitchen.
