Capability & Business Use
The Hostek IBV20 is a professional-grade spiral mixer specifically engineered for high-footfall pizzerias, bakeries, and trattorias requiring consistent dough quality for 12" and 16" pizzas. With a 22-litre bowl capacity and a maximum mixed dough volume of 16kg, this unit bridges the gap between small-batch prep and industrial production, yielding up to 56kg of finished product per hour. The variable speed inverter motor provides essential flexibility, enabling chefs to manage delicate, high-hydration sourdoughs or dense, heavy doughs with equal efficiency, ensuring perfect texture and consistency every time.
Technical Reliability & Installation
Constructed with a strengthened steel body and a premium brilliant white finish, the IBV20 is built to withstand the rigours of a professional kitchen. The machine is fitted with a 13A UK plug, ensuring a straightforward setup process. Internal components are designed for heavy-duty reliability, featuring a stainless steel dough breaker spindle, a 360mm diameter stainless steel bowl, and a spiral arm built for maximum torque. The inclusion of a fixed head design with a microswitch-controlled safety guard ensures power is immediately cut when the guard is raised, meeting strict commercial safety standards.
ROI & Operator Experience
The IBV20 focuses on operational efficiency and ease of maintenance, featuring intuitive push-button controls, an integrated timer, and dial-operated speed adjustment. To improve kitchen ergonomics and facilitate deep cleaning, this unit is supplied with castors for easy repositioning. The gear-driven transmission in an oil bath not only ensures a quieter working environment but also significantly reduces maintenance intervals compared to belt-driven alternatives. Backed by a one-year manufacturer's parts warranty, the IBV20 represents a durable, cost-effective investment for businesses prioritising authentic Italian dough production.
