That is roughly 150 pizza dough balls at 9 oz each, or a morning's worth of bread and focaccia for a small bakery, in a cabinet only 17 23\/32\" wide. It is not sized for a wholesale bakery turning over several hundred pounds an hour, and the bowl stays on the machine, so you scoop or tip dough out rather than wheeling a bowl away. It runs on 208 V three-phase, 60 Hz, stands 29 15\/16\" tall with the grille closed, and sits on rotating wheels so you can roll it to the bench and back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpiral and Bowl Rotate Together for Even Dough\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spiral hook and the bowl both turn, so the dough is pulled through the hook from every angle instead of riding the bowl wall. Moretti's spiral profile keeps the dough moving without working it hot: the sheet calls out a low, constant temperature from the start of the cycle to the end. Compared with a planetary mixer running a dough hook, you get a tighter, more oxygenated dough with less friction heat, which matters when you are building a 65 percent hydration pizza dough that still has to ferment overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel Bowl, Spiral, and Dough Breaker\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl, spiral, dough breaker, and safety grille are all stainless steel. The dough breaker is the fixed post in the bowl that holds the mass against the spiral so the hook actually kneads it rather than spinning it around. The bowl is 17 23\/32\" (450 mm) across and 10 1\/4\" (260 mm) deep, with a 10.57 gal (40 L) volume. Stainless on every dough-contact surface means a wipe-down with a damp cloth between pizza dough and sweet dough, not a scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChain Drive on an Oil-Bath Gear Motor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower goes from the motor through an oil-bath gear reducer and a chain drive to the spiral, with the rotating transmission parts riding on sealed, self-lubricating ball bearings. Chain drive holds its ratio under load, so the spiral does not slow down when a stiff bagel dough comes together the way a belt can slip. The oil bath keeps the gears quiet and takes lubrication off your maintenance list. The two-speed motor draws 2.2 kW at 208 V three-phase, 60 Hz, with a maximum of 9.0 A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePush-Button Panel with Timer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls are a push-button panel on the right side of the head, where you can reach it while adding flour. Two speeds let you run the slow speed to take up flour and water without dusting the room, then switch to the fast speed to build gluten; the sheet notes the two-speed machine is available only on three-phase power. Set the timer, start the cycle, and move to portioning while the mixer finishes on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety Grille and Low-Voltage Controls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel grille over the bowl has a safety device that stops the spiral when the grille is lifted, so nobody reaches into a turning hook. The control circuit runs on a low-voltage auxiliary line, which keeps mains voltage away from the buttons you touch with wet hands. The frame is thick powder-painted stainless steel designed to hold the machine steady through every phase of the knead instead of walking across the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact Footprint on Rotating Wheels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 17 23\/32\" wide, 31 11\/16\" deep, and 29 15\/16\" tall, the IM38\/2 fits under most wall shelves and beside a prep table. The rotating wheels let one person move the 247 lb mixer to a mop-out or into a corner at close. Lifting the grille adds height to 38 31\/32\", so check clearance under overhead shelving where you plan to park it. The unit ships with a 59\" (1500 mm) power cable already attached.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moretti Forni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67774866391325,"sku":"IM38\/2","price":4427.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/89939_IM38_2.jpg?v=1791998029","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/moretti-forni-im38-2-84-lb-dough-capacity-spiral-dough-mixer-two-speed-fixed-head-chain-drive","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
