It sits in the Top Line, the medium-production tier of the Sunmix range, and it is meant for pizzerias and restaurants that mix every day but do not run continuous bakery shifts. The mixer is made for doughs starting from 60% hydration, so pizza, focaccia, ciabatta and most bread formulas are in range, while very stiff, low-hydration doughs like bagel or pasta dough are not what it was built for. It runs on 230V single phase at 50 or 60 Hz, the catalogue does not list a plug, so plan on an electrician to make the connection, and it is packed in a wooden crate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e58 Qt Bowl Sized for Pizzeria Service\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA spiral mixer turns the bowl while the hook works one side of it, so the dough is folded and stretched instead of beaten, and it stays cooler than it would in a planetary mixer. On the SUN40 TL A that stainless steel bowl holds 58 quarts and takes a maximum charge of 88 lb of dough, enough for a full day of pizza balls in one or two mixes. You can also run it light: Sunmix sizes the spiral so that a small test batch or a short Tuesday mix still contacts the hook instead of riding around the bowl wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e50 to 300 RPM Speed Variator on a Manual Panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than two fixed speeds, you get a variator that sweeps from 50 to 300 RPM. Start at the bottom of the range to wet the flour without dusting the room, hold a middle speed while the gluten builds, then finish fast to tighten the dough before it comes out. Each preparation gets its own speed instead of the one the gearbox allows. The variator lives on a plain manual panel: a knob, a switch, nothing to program, so a new hire runs it correctly on the first shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRetractable Wheels\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SUN40 TL A weighs 363 lb, and a mixer that heavy normally stays wherever it was uncrated. The retractable wheels change that. Lower them and the machine rolls out for mopping behind it or over to a different station for the evening prep rush; raise them and it sits back on its feet with no rocking under load. Unlike fixed casters, there is nothing to lock or chock before you start the motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSingle Spiral Motor and Stainless Steel Components\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne 3 kW motor drives the spiral through the full speed range, with the torque to work a stiff 60% pizza dough at low RPM without stalling. The bowl and the contact components are stainless steel, which scrapes clean to bare metal with hot water and does not stain the way a coated bowl does after a few hundred batches, and the painted structure is built heavy for daily use. At 22 inches wide, 34 inches deep and 41 inches tall it stands against a prep wall. Each unit is finished in your choice of Rosso Rubino (ruby red), Nero Profondo (deep black) or Bianco Puro (pure white), chosen when you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunmix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67877125488925,"sku":"SUN40 TL A","price":6840.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/SUN40_TL_A_black.jpg?v=1793014955","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/sunmix-sun40-tl-a-58-qt-spiral-dough-mixer-88-lb-dough-capacity-variable-speed-retractable-wheels-230v-single-phase","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
