Vertical Spindle Mixer
The Thomas L. Green Vertical Spindle Mixer is a proven and efficient solution for mixing fermented or unfermented biscuit and cracker dough and other two-stage or proofed-dough products.
The Spindle Mixer is particularly well-suited to doughs that require a two-stage mixing process with a fermentation period in between, such as cracker doughs, as well as for doughs containing ingredients that can be easily damaged during the mixing process.
This mixing platform has been the tried-and-true batch mixing workhorse in the baking industry day in and day out for more than 100 years, but has now been completely redesigned to offer a more modern appearance, larger capacity, and other improvements, including:
- All-stainless-steel construction
- Improved structural rigidity
- Mixing paddles that can be configured for different products and mixing actions
- High torque cone drive system rated for capacities up to 997 kg (2,200 lbs)
- Smooth linear way head raising system
- Each spindle supported on spherical roller bearings
- Safety interlocked guarding system that meets ISO standards
- Better accessibility for cleaning and maintenance
- Framework can be designed to support ingredient handling components above the mixer
- Will work with existing Thomas L. Green dough troughs
- Shipped 90% assembled for fast installation
In addition to the mixer’s standard features, optional equipment is available, including high-strength 17-4PH stainless steel paddles and spindle shafts, an automated trough locking and detection device, as well as a dough ejecting device, load monitoring system and temperature monitoring system.
Continuous Mixers
When you need a commercial mixer that helps eliminates problems in your dough associated with batch cycles, consider Exact Mixing Continuous Mixers.
