Flexible dough processing
The 550VS is designed to handle the full spectrum of biscuit dough types with reliable, repeatable results. Its mixing action ensures thorough blending without overworking the dough, helping maintain product quality.
Designed for sponge and dough processes
Well-suited to processes requiring two-stage mixing and fermentation, the mixer integrates easily into sponge and dough production lines, supporting stable and controlled processing.
Efficient tub-based operation
Ingredients are loaded into removable, wheeled tubs, either manually or via semi-automatic systems. After mixing, tubs can be quickly transferred to tilting or fermentation, helping streamline production flow.
Simple, hygienic design
With a minimal number of components and all drive systems positioned off the floor, the mixer is easy to clean and maintain. The design supports hygienic operation while reducing maintenance effort.
Safe and controlled operation
The mixer operates only when the tub is correctly positioned, with automatic stopping when the tub is lowered. This ensures safe operation for operators, with optional enclosed safety gates available.
