Le Silvestri vertical industrial mixers are designed to ensure uniform and effective mixing, ideal for doughs that require a homogeneous consistency.

Thanks to the combined action of the 2 vertical mixing shafts, each equipped with 6 shaped horizontal blades, our mixers allow for rapid dispersion of ingredients, ensuring a gentle yet extremely homogeneous processing.

An innovative design that allows for excellent results, even for complex doughs.

The supporting structure of the vertical industrial mixers is coated with a special polyurethane paint that ensures robustness and long-lasting durability. The stainless steel protective panels, which can be opened and removed, allow easy access for cleaning and maintenance activities.

The mixing bowl, also made of AISI 304 stainless steel, is equipped with wheels to be easily positioned inside the machine.

The dough is processed in stainless steel dough carts mounted on wheels, to facilitate transport even with the aid of carts, both during the loading of ingredients and for positioning in fermentation cells. The lifting and lowering movement of the bowl is made possible by a rack mechanism operated by an auxiliary motor.

The bowl is also closed at the top by a stainless steel lid that ensures an airtight seal, preventing material from escaping.

The main gear motor of our vertical mixers is extremely reliable and high-performing. It is installed at the top of the machine along with the entire mechanical transmission. Solutions with a single-polarity motor controlled by an inverter are available, allowing the mixing speed to be adjusted between 15 and 30 rpm.

The Electrical Panel of the vertical industrial mixers is protected by a stainless steel watertight cabinet (IP66), positioned within the machine structure to ensure maximum protection.

Designed according to the latest safety regulations, the panel uses a standard power supply voltage of 400 V - 50 Hz, suitable for industrial operations.

The control panel, located at the front of the machine, is equipped with a touch-screen display and a PLC system for automatic cycle management (with the option to add a recipe memory feature). Alternatively, the vertical mixers are available with a configuration which includes a timer and push-button controls for manual use.

* Each machine can be customized to meet the specific needs of the customer.

Frequently Asked Questions about Horizontal Industrial Mixers

Vertical mixers are ideal for soft and leavened doughs, such as those used in the production of bread, pizza, and other baked goods that require a uniform consistency and good air incorporation.

No, the planetary mixer and the vertical mixer are not the same thing. Although both are suitable for soft doughs, the vertical mixer is designed for large-scale industrial production, while the planetary mixer is more common in domestic or artisanal settings and uses a planetary motion to mix.

To choose the most suitable vertical mixer, consider the following factors:

Type of Dough: They are best suited for delicate doughs such as those for crackers.
Processing: Carefully evaluate the processing capacity needed for your production, also considering the need to let the dough rest for hours after being worked.
Mixing Times: Consider the mixing times required for your doughs.
Materials and Construction: Ensure that the machine is made of high-quality materials and complies with safety regulations.
Support and Maintenance: Check the post-sales support offered by the manufacturer, including maintenance services and availability of spare parts.

Vertical mixers are suitable for continuous production, provided they are chosen and maintained correctly according to the specific needs of your production. However, it should be noted that they are almost always used to produce doughs that need to be left to rise, so a large number of rolling dough carts are required to ensure continuous production.
