USER MANUAL
MIXER CAPACITY CHART
When mixing dough (pizza, bread, or bagels), check your "AR" absorption ratio - water weight divided by flour weight.
Above capacities based on 12% flour moisture at 70°F water temperature. If high gluten flour is used, reduce above
dough batch size by 10%.
EXAMPLE: If recipe calls for 5 lb. of water and 10 lb. of flour, then 5 divided by 10 = 0.50 x 100 = 50% AR.
• 2nd Speed should never be used on mixtures with less than 50% AR.
When calculating the correct size mixer for your application, here are some helpful weights and measures:
• 8.3 lb. = 1 gallon of water – 2.08 lb. = 1 Quart.

Bread and Roll Dough - 60% AR Dough Hook - 1st Only 5 lb. 25 lb. 45 lb.
Heavy Bread Dough - 55% AR Dough Hook - 1st Only 3 lb. 15 lb. 30 lb.
Pizza Dough, Thin - 40% AR Not Recommended 3 lb. 9 lb. 14 lb.
