Overview of Different Dough Kneaders

Planetary Mixer: This technique is used by most dough machines and consists of a movable mixer that moves in an elliptical motion around the bowl. This technique is very effective as it thoroughly kneads the dough and ensures that all ingredients are well mixed. 

Spiral Mixer: This technique is used by some dough machines and consists of a movable mixer that moves in a spiral motion around the bowl. This technique is particularly effective for kneading heavy doughs as it allows for a uniform kneading motion and ensures the dough is thoroughly kneaded. 

Dough Hook: Some dough machines are equipped with a special dough hook that pierces through and effectively kneads the dough. This technique is particularly suitable for kneading firm doughs and ensuring all ingredients are well mixed. 

Double Arm Mixer: This technique is used by some dough machines and consists of two movable mixers that rotate in opposite directions around the bowl. This technique is very effective for kneading heavy doughs as it allows for a uniform kneading motion and ensures the dough is thoroughly kneaded. 

Dive Arm Mixer: Two kneading hooks mimic the human kneading movement in a patented dive arm system. This kneading method is very efficient even with large quantities of dough.

Depending on the type of dough machine, different kneading techniques can be applied to knead the dough effectively. The choice of the right kneading technique depends on the type of dough you want to make and the type of dough machine you are using. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and choose the right kneading technique to produce perfect dough.
