Product Description
The Santos 10-litre dough mixer is a single-speed, counter-mounted machine built specifically for kneading bread and pizza dough. Unlike planetary mixers adapted for dough work, it uses a dedicated helical fork action — the fork folds and stretches the dough repeatedly, encouraging even gluten development and allowing the mixture to breathe during kneading. This makes it a more considered choice for dough-focused operations than a general-purpose mixer running a dough hook attachment.
In practice, it handles up to around 4kg of hard dough per batch. That output fits comfortably into a small pizzeria running lunch and dinner covers, a café baking fresh loaves each morning, or a deli preparing dough in house. It is not intended for continuous high-volume production, but within its range it performs consistently batch after batch without requiring much attention from the operator.
- Helical fork promotes oxygenation and even texture across batches
- Side ingredient chute allows additions mid-cycle without stopping the machine
- Transparent safety cover lets operators monitor progress without interrupting the mix
- Removable stainless steel bowl simplifies end-of-service cleaning
- Integrated stand provides a stable, fixed counter position during use
The machine runs from a standard single-phase supply and needs nothing beyond a stable worktop and a nearby socket. At 17kg it can be repositioned if necessary, though most kitchens will keep it in a fixed spot. There are no water connections or ventilation requirements to plan around.
This mixer suits independent kitchens, small bakeries, and pizzerias where dough is produced fresh in controlled daily batches. Operations with larger batch requirements or near-continuous production runs would be better served by a higher-capacity floor-standing model. Please note this product is special to order.
If you are unsure whether the batch size fits your service pattern or dough type, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you go ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
- That depends on your dough type and resting times, but most small operations run several consecutive batches without issue. The machine is designed for regular daily use rather than continuous industrial production, so it suits kitchens preparing dough in planned batches across a shift rather than running non-stop throughout the day.
- The helical fork action works well across most bread and pizza doughs, including firmer, stiffer mixes that can stress a planetary mixer running a dough hook. It is less suited to very soft batters or general mixing tasks — it is a dedicated dough machine, and works best when used as one.
- Special-to-order means the product is sourced on demand rather than held in stock, so lead times are longer than for stocked items. If you have questions about batch capacity, dough type compatibility, or whether this model fits your kitchen's output requirements, it is worth speaking with the team before placing your order.
