Some new entrants into the bread baking business or industry are used to making mistakes when it comes to buying equipments, especially Spiral Mixers.
Some years ago, I have a bakery owner and baker who came from Ibadan attend my bread baking class in Lagos. She was having challenges with her bread not coming out good. She needed solutions and searched online before locating my company and services.
Her problem was in milling her bread dough rightly but she did not know. She realized after the first day of our training that she bought the wrong mixer.
I have had a man in Lagos who bought a mixer and in few weeks, the dough hook got broken while he was milling. His business has setbacks
A woman who resided in Maryland, Lagos attended my Private One on One class in 2018 in Lagos. She wanted to buy a spiral mixer and decided to buy a cheaper one. I advised her against that decision, but she went ahead.
After two months, the mixer timing chain malfunctioned and the mixer packed up with her business coming to sudden setback.
So let’s look at what you should know about Spiral Mixer that’s ideal.
1. Spiral Mixers are not the same as cake mixer. Spiral Mixer mixes hard flour to make bread.
2. Spiral Mixer mixes and mills your dough.
3. It’s of different capacity starting from 8kg
4. You don’t need a local milling machine or a mixing bowl if you are using spiral mixer.
5. Mixers have single speed, double speed and multiple speeds.
6. Don’t buy single speed mixer.
7. Mixer uses only electricity to power it.
8. Over milling or over mixing will kill the gluten in your dough
9. Spiral mixer will help you to mix and mill your bread dough at anytime of the day as you won’t have to go to a milling machine place.
10. Don’t buy second hand mixer as you may have it not working when you need it.
11. If you want to buy a mixer, buy because it has a superior Timing chain and dough hook. Don’t buy because it’s cheap as you may regret it later.
12. Always maintain and clean your mixer after using it.
13. Do not over-burden the mixer with too many load or dough.
