Laboratory Mixers
The hardest job in bread making is guaranteeing a repeatable recipe of consistent quality. VMI laboratory mixers were designed to test a recipe on a small scale before taking it to full production.
On the laboratory mixer bench you define the mixing conditions yourself. That is how accurate mixing and faithful reproduction of the recipe are achieved.
- Dough capacity
- 3 - 5 kg
- Volume
- 10 litres
- Use
- recipe trials and scale-up
- The impact of the raw material and the mixture on the result is measured
- Process parameters are controlled and the recipe becomes repeatable
- Trials are recorded, controlled and analysed
- For flour mills, training centres and R&D kitchens
Mixer types
Fork or spiral, depending on which kneading technique you want to test.
Laboratory fork mixer
For kneading tests with a fork mixing tool. Used in test laboratories, training centres and mills to run bread-making trials with different flours and ingredients.
- Recipes are reproduced exactly by adjusting the kneading parameters
- Complies with the fundamentals of traditional kneading
- Used as a single mixer or as a bench of up to five
- Recipe optimisation and comparative trials
- Dough capacity
- 3 kg
- Volume
- 10 litres
- Tool
- fork
- Bench
- up to 5 mixers
Bench spiral mixers
For bakers, millers and training institutions that need to analyse raw materials. Comparative tests improve recipe quality, and the result is extrapolated to industrial production.
- Modularity: each mixer runs independently or links to the supervision tool, up to five by Bluetooth
- Versatility: as many recipes as installed mixers can be tested at once
- Flexibility: a trial in progress can be suspended, and parameters changed during it
- Traceability: every test is recorded, including bowl and tool speeds, time, temperature and energy
- Repeatability: the defined parameters keep the quality of the recipe
- Connects by wire to a PC-based supervision application
- Dough capacity
- 5 kg
- Volume
- 10 litres
- Tool
- spiral
- Bench
- up to 5 mixers, Bluetooth
