Bernardi BT

Professional kneading machine bakeries and confectioneries

Bernardi's BT kneading machines are professional kneading machines for use in bakeries and pastry shops. Thanks to inverters, the Bernardi BT can be operated at five speeds between 35 and 65 beats per minute and is therefore capable of kneading any type of dough. The patented immersion arm technology imitates the human kneading movement almost perfectly, so that the dough can be kneaded constantly at different intensities over a long period of time. The consistency of the dough benefits most from this. The specially shaped dough hooks minimise friction during the kneading process and the dough does not heat up during kneading. This protects the yeast and gives the dough optimum quality.

With the Bernardi BTs, all dough forms can be kneaded effortlessly, light doughs for pizza and bread, medium-heavy doughs such as short pastry and also heavy doughs with high hydration such as panettone and/or with large amounts of yeast. The BT is available in four kneading capacities up to 12 kg, 24 kg, 48 kg and 60 kg dough. The kneading utensils are very easy to remove and clean. The control panel has a touch system. An emergency stop system with double channel is also integrated and ensures safety. The high dead weight of the Bernardi gives it stability and the high-performance induction motor ensures constantly powerful kneading results. The latest generation of Bernardi BTs can be controlled via Bluetooth using a specially developed "MixDrive" app and enables smart communication via iOS and Android.

The design of Bernardi's diving arm kneaders is timelessly modern and very straightforward. They blend into any environment optically effortlessly and do not have to hide. The space requirement of the Bernardi BTs diving arm kneading machine is limited to a minimum, it finds place in every professional kitchen or bakery. The powerful induction motor provides high torque and quiet operation. The Bernardi BTs kneading machines require a three-phase 400 volt power supply. On request, the smaller machines can also be ordered with a standard connection (230 V, single-phase). Only the Bernardi BTs 60 requires a three-phase connection.

Perfectly suited for gluten-free doughs

Bernardi experimented with gluten-free doughs in its Bakery Lab in Italy. The results were excellent. The dipping arm technique is just as suitable for gluten-free doughs as for conventional doughs. Of course, as always when working with doughs, it depends on the experience in, handling doughs. Professionals around Bernardi have achieved up to 100% hydration.g

The Bernardi Company

Quality and tradition have been Bernardi's top priorities for 35 years. As a young boy, company founder Elvio Bernardi observed the advantages of immersion mixers for yeast dough and, as a young man, made his own model, which was very soon reproduced. Today Bernardi is run by the second generation and is dedicated to the perfection and aesthetics of his dough mixers. Bernardi is the absolute leader in the field of gastronomic dough kneading machines and now dares to take the leap towards "Smarter Technology" control.

Bernardi Bakery Lab

Bernardi has set up a baking laboratory at its headquarters in Cuneo/Italy. Here caterers and chefs can deepen their knowledge of dough production and familiarise themselves with the professional dough kneading machines.
