Laboratory mixers for recipe testing in bread-making

Guarantee consistent quality in your dough production with advanced control over mixing parameters, enabling precise recipe testing and optimization before scaling to full production.

Optimizes Kneading and Mixing Parameters

VMI’s Mahot LABO 25 and SPI-LAB Bench Spiral Mixers are designed to meet the rigorous demands of bakery and agro-food research and development. These mixers allow precise control over kneading and mixing parameters, ensuring reproducibility of recipes and facilitating experimental tests. The LABO 25 utilizes a fork mixing tool ideal for traditional bread-making trials, while the SPI-LAB offers modularity for simultaneous recipe testing with up to 10 mixers. These units are perfect for testing centers and training environments seeking to optimize dough formulatoins across various flours. With Bluetooth connectivity for integrated supervision, flexibility in application, and full traceability, VMI mixers support batch, bench-top, and pilot operations, aligning with the latest demands of industrial dough processing.
