GGM Gastro PRMTH5

The GGM Gastro PRMTH5 is a 5 L tabletop planetary mixer with a hinged head, a removable steel bowl and a variable-speed dial. A dough hook, flat beater, whisk and protective guard are included. GGM lists a 0.75 kg dough limit separately from its 0.5 kg flour limit, and restricts bread dough to very small quantities. The manual assigns kneading to low speed, the flat beater to medium speed and the whisk to high speed. If mixing slows because of a heavy load, reduce the batch.

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. At 60% hydration, the calculator flags batches over 750 g. For a 50% biga, the limit drops to 525 g.
