Mecnosud FC60DUS 60 Liter Fork Dough Mixer, Dual Speed, 88 lb Flour Capacity, Chain Drive

The Mecnosud FC60DUS is a commercial fork dough mixer designed for pizza shops, bakeries, and restaurants that need to produce soft, high-quality doughs in large quantities. Its 60-liter stainless steel bowl handles up to 132 lbs. of dough at 55% hydration or 88 lbs. of flour per batch, making it suitable for high-volume operations. The fork mixing action, unlike spiral mixing, gently works the dough to prevent heat buildup and quickly oxygenates the mix. This process results in a lighter, well-developed dough with consistent structure.

Fork Kneading Action for Soft Doughs Without Heat Buildup

The FC series fork mixer is built for soft doughs. The fork tool and 26-inch diameter bowl are engineered to fold and stretch dough while minimizing friction and heat. In commercial baking, excess heat during mixing can weaken gluten, reduce fermentation control, and harm final texture. By keeping dough temperature low and oxygenating quickly, the FC60DUS produces soft, airy doughs with reliable structure. This makes it ideal for Neapolitan pizza, focaccia, ciabatta, and other high-hydration, soft-crumb products.

Dual Speed with 120/240 RPM Fork and 15/30 RPM Bowl

The FC60DUS features two speeds for both the fork and the bowl. The fork operates at 120 RPM or 240 RPM, while the bowl turns at 15 RPM or 30 RPM. This setup lets operators use low speed for initial mixing and hydration, then switch to high speed for gluten development and dough refinement. The motor supplies 1.2 HP at low speed and 2 HP at high speed, ensuring enough torque for heavy batches without straining the drive system. A built-in timer allows each mixing phase to run automatically.

Geared Motor with Chain Drive and Trapezoidal Belts

The geared motor drives the mixer through a chain system with trapezoidal belts. This combination delivers reliable torque while reducing vibration and noise. All rotating parts use ball bearings to minimize friction, lower wear during continuous use, and extend the life of drive components. This construction is essential for handling stiff or dense doughs that put extra stress on the drivetrain. The stainless steel bowl, fork, and shaft resist corrosion and are easy to clean. A stainless steel cover protects operators during mixing. The frame is made from thick steel with a non-toxic paint finish. Four braked casters and two front levelers keep the mixer stable on uneven floors. The FC60DUS ships wired for 220V/60Hz/3-phase power at 9.5 amps, without a plug. Fork and scraper tools are included.
