The Omcan 45637 Forked Dough Mixer
The Santos #18 dough fork mixer kneads up to 9 pounds of hard dough in around 15 minutes, turning out bread, pizza, and pastry doughs with the traditional French fork-kneading technique that professional bakers rely on. Its 10-liter stainless steel bowl and 0.87 HP asynchronous motor handle daily production loads at pizzerias, artisan bakeries, and small restaurant kitchens.
French Fork Kneading for Better Dough
The helical fork design oxygenates dough as it kneads, producing a lighter, more open crumb structure than paddle or hook mixers achieve with the same recipe. Bowl rotation happens naturally through the kneading action rather than a separate drive mechanism, which reduces mechanical complexity and keeps maintenance simple. A transparent safety cover stops the machine immediately when opened, and a wide gap along the side lets you add flour, water, or other ingredients during the kneading cycle without pausing. The motor is protected by an internal thermal detector that prevents overheating during extended runs, and the silent asynchronous design keeps noise levels low enough for open-kitchen environments. Every part that contacts food is removable and dishwasher safe, making end-of-day cleanup fast and thorough.
