The stainless steel bowl takes batches from 7 lb up to 44 lb of dough at 60 percent hydration or higher, which covers a couple dozen pizza balls or a morning's worth of focaccia in one run. Set the mechanical timer, go back to the prep table, and the mixer shuts off on its own when the cycle ends instead of overworking the dough while you are busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpiral Action That Works Dough Instead of Whipping It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA planetary hook drags dough around a stationary bowl and heats it up in the process, which is why stiff pizza dough fights a stand mixer. The Hercules turns both parts. The bowl rotates at 11 RPM while the spiral hook spins at 94 RPM against a fixed kneading bar, folding fresh dough under the hook on every pass. You get even gluten development at lower dough temperature, so the dough comes out smooth and extensible rather than tight and warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e1.5 HP Motor with Oil-Bath Gearbox and Chain Drive\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 1100 W, 1.5 HP high-torque motor drives the spiral through a sturdy oil-bath gearbox and a reinforced chain drive. That is a heavier transmission than the belt drives used on light-duty mixers, which stretch and slip once a 44 lb batch of low-hydration dough starts to tighten. A thermal overload circuit breaker cuts power before the motor cooks itself if a batch pushes too hard, and the low-voltage IP 67 waterproof no-volt release controls keep the machine from restarting on its own after a power interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInterlocked Lid with Feed Opening\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lid locks the machine out when it is open, keeping hands away from the moving spiral. You still are not stuck waiting to adjust a batch: a feed opening in the lid lets you stream in flour, water, or salt while the mixer runs, so you can tighten a slack dough mid-cycle without stopping and restarting. The body is thick C 40 steel finished in a scratch-resistant powder coating, the bowl is heavy-duty stainless steel with a reinforced edge, and the whole unit rolls on casters so you can pull it out from the wall to clean behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sirman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52781270270237,"sku":"40873066","price":3003.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/82754_sirman_40873066_hercules_30_timer.jpg?v=1787067251","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/sirman-40873066-hercules-30-timer-34-qt-spiral-dough-mixer-fixed-bowl-timer-control","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
