The AMPTO FC35DUS Forked Dough Mixer
The Mecnosud FC35DUS fork mixer is built in Italy for pizza shops, bakeries, and restaurants that need soft, high-quality dough in moderate batches. Its 40-liter stainless steel bowl handles up to 77 lbs. of dough at 55% hydration or 51 lbs. of flour per batch. The FC35DUS matches the kneading performance of larger models but fits into smaller spaces. The fork mixing action works the dough thoroughly without raising its temperature, so you get a lighter, well-developed dough that spiral mixers cannot match.
Fork Kneading Action for Soft Doughs Without Heat Buildup
The FC series is designed for soft doughs. The fork tool and 23.6-inch bowl fold and stretch dough without building up heat, unlike spiral or planetary mixers. Lower dough temperatures prevent unpredictable fermentation, protect gluten structure, and improve consistency. The FC35DUS keeps dough cool while adding air, so you get soft, open-crumb results. This makes it ideal for Neapolitan pizza, focaccia, ciabatta, and other products where dough texture matters.
Dual Speed with 120/240 RPM Fork and 15/30 RPM Bowl
The FC35DUS offers two speeds for both the fork and the bowl. The fork runs at 120 or 240 RPM, and the bowl turns at 15 or 30 RPM. Use low speed for mixing and hydration, then switch to high speed for gluten development. The motor delivers 1 HP at low speed and 1.5 HP at high speed, so it handles full batches without strain. A built-in timer lets you set mixing phases for consistent results, even when you are busy with other tasks.
Geared Motor with Chain Drive and Trapezoidal Belts
A geared motor drives the mixer through a chain and trapezoidal belt system. This setup provides strong torque, reduces vibration, and keeps noise levels low. All moving parts use ball bearings to cut friction and wear, so the mixer lasts through years of daily use. Both fork and scraper tools come standard. The stainless steel bowl, fork, and shaft resist corrosion and clean up quickly between batches. A stainless steel cover keeps operators safe during mixing. The frame is made from heavy steel with a non-toxic paint finish. Four braked casters make it easy to move the mixer in the kitchen. The FC35DUS comes pre-wired for 220V/60Hz/3-phase power at 7.3 amps, ready for installation.
