Beeketal BSM10a

The Beeketal BSM10a is a commercial planetary mixer with a removable 10 L bowl, a dough hook, a flat beater and a whisk. Its three fixed speeds are 105, 170 and 340 rpm; Beeketal assigns the lowest speed to dough kneading. The stated maximum is 2 kg of dry flour, which excludes the water and other ingredients added to the dough. At 52 kg, it needs a permanent place in a small bakery, café or pizzeria.

How the calculator uses this mixer

Water temperature. Pandough uses the typical friction factor for its type, 12. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 16°C, against 25°C when mixing by hand.
Batch size check. Its maker publishes no dough capacity, so there is no batch limit to check.
