MIXER CAPACITY CALCULATOR
Selecting the right mixer for your application is crucial for its longevity. Although dough recipes vary, the flour-to-water ratio is key in determining mixer capacity. For denser doughs, such as those made with chilled water or high-gluten flour, higher capacity mixers are necessary. Use the form below to choose your product and batch size to find the perfect mixer for your needs.
- • A Gallon of water weights 8.35 lbs at 62 degrees fahrenheit
• AR= Absorption Ratio: Solid weight divided by Liquid weight times 100 gives percentage
• If High Gluten flour is used reduce batch size by 10%
• If Ice or colder water is used reduce batch size by 10%
• If 2nd speed is required for dough cut batch size by 1/2
