Industrial Spiral Mixers for the Americas

High-capacity industrial spiral dough mixers built for bread, pizza and lean-dough production at 80 to 370 quart batch sizes. Manufacturer-direct from Dirmak's İzmir factory to North, Central and South America.

Built for one job, done well

A spiral mixer exists to develop gluten in lean dough quickly, gently and without overheating the mass. The fixed spiral arm, vertical breaker bar and rotating AISI 304 stainless bowl in the ISM series are the right answer for any bakery whose volume is driven by bread, baguette, ciabatta, pizza, bagel, brioche or sourdough.

Every ISM is 2-speed with two independent timers, AISI 304 food-contact parts, a stainless safety cover with auto-stop, wheels and leveling feet for plant repositioning, IP54 controls / IP32 machine rating, and a 208–240 V / 3-phase / 60 Hz standard build for the Americas. 480 V is available on request for plant installs.

The lineup at a glance

Two standard variants: -32 (2-speed with two timers) and -32S (adds reverse bowl for clean discharge — recommended for stiff dough, pizza balls, and high-volume bagel work). All models are available in the CR build with a full AISI 304 stainless body for plant wash-down, allergen lines and multi-shift environments.

How to size a spiral mixer

Size by flour-per-cycle and cycles-per-shift, not by total daily output. A typical wholesale shift runs 6–8 cycles per hour at full bowl; pâtisserie and pizza lines often run smaller, more frequent batches with quicker discharge.

• Up to 75 lb flour/cycle, single shift, bread main product → ISM 75.
• 100–175 lb flour/cycle, daily pizza or bread → ISM 100 / 120.
• 175–240 lb flour/cycle, two-shift wholesale → ISM 200 / 250.
• 240+ lb flour/cycle, plant scale → ISM 250 / 350.

Why bakeries in the Americas buy from Dirmak

• Factory-direct pricing — no distributor markup chain. See how factory-direct works.
• Built for the dough, not for the brochure. 35+ years of mixer manufacturing means real engineering choices: heavy belts, generous motor sizing, AISI 304 contact parts, breaker bar geometry tuned for high-hydration work.
• Trilingual support — English, Spanish, Portuguese — on Americas business hours.
• Certifications — CE, UKCA, EAC; UL pending.
• Parts and service — common wear parts ship from İzmir within 48 hours; year-1 spares kit quoted with every machine.
• Configuration flexibility — every option in our catalog is buildable to your order: -32 / -32S, CR stainless body, voltage on request.

Common applications

• Wholesale bread plants — pan bread, sandwich loaf, baguette, ciabatta, focaccia.
• Pizza chains and pizzerias — Neapolitan, NY, Detroit, Sicilian; see spiral mixer for pizza dough.
• Bagel production — high-gluten, low-hydration, where -32S reverse discharge speeds shaping lines.
• Sourdough and artisan bakeries — long autolyse and cold ferments benefit from low friction heat.
• Brioche and enriched-dough producers — gentle gluten development plus high fat tolerance.
