Overview of Different Dough Kneaders

Planetary Mixer: This technique is used by most dough machines and consists of a movable stirring mechanism that rotates 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 stirring mechanism that rotates in a spiral motion around the bowl. This technique is especially effective when kneading heavy doughs as it allows for an even kneading motion and ensures the dough is thoroughly kneaded. 

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

Double Kneading Arm: This technique is used by some dough machines and consists of two movable stirring mechanisms that rotate in opposite directions around the bowl. This technique is very effective when kneading heavy doughs as it allows for an even kneading motion and ensures the dough is thoroughly kneaded. 

Diving Arm Kneader: Two kneading hooks knead according to a patented diving arm system imitating the human kneading movement. This kneading method is very efficient even for large quantities of dough.

Depending on the type of dough machine, various 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.
