KYS Pro Baker 5 Plus

The smallest KYS Plus model has a notably broad published envelope: 320 g to 3.6 kg of dough, 55 to 100% hydration and 50 to 400 RPM. The center rod can be adjusted or removed, which matters more for tiny batches than the headline motor wattage.

Dough capacity: 3.6 kg
Type: Spiral
5.5 L750 W
Hydration window: 55-100%

Tips from bakers

Use the low end for dry preferments. Do not treat reverse alone as proof that every stiff biga load is safe.

How the calculator uses this mixer

Water temperature. Its friction factor is 11. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 12°C, against 24°C when mixing by hand.
Batch size check. At 60% hydration, the calculator flags batches over 3.6 kg. For a 50% biga, the limit drops to 2.5 kg. Under 320 g, it warns that the batch is too small.
Hydration range. Its maker publishes 55–100%, so the calculator flags doughs outside that range.

Formulas this mixer handles

The largest single batch for each formula at its own hydration. The limit is the same one the calculator checks your batch against.
