No more baking small rolls? This is possible with the W 401 A spiral mixer from DIOSNA. Up to 400 kg of dough can be processed quickly and easily with this machine. Compared to conventional spiral mixers, various doughs can be prepared much faster, and the gentle kneading ensures excellent results.
DIOSNA produces machines and systems for the entire dough production process, from dosing to pre-dough preparation and kneading through to transfer logistics. With over 135 years of experience in the design of a wide range of mixing and kneading technologies, DIOSNA is one of the most prestigious names in the food industry. With the combination of DIOStart biotechnology and the system technology for pre-dough and kneading, dough properties can be achieved that provide the user with a clear advantage in terms of taste, consistency and kneading process. This provides the best conditions for optimum baking results.
"Reliable safety that impresses - thanks to the DINA module, we can plan our design even more efficiently."
- Christian Ostendorf, DIOSNA
As with any comparable bakery machine, the bowl mixer also has a list of safety risks that must be minimized to an acceptable residual risk with the right measures.
The first step is to use the risk analysis to identify the machine's main hazards. The main danger with the bowl mixer is the dough hook. These fast-moving hooks normally ensure optimum kneading of the dough, but can also cause injuries. In order to keep the risks to the operator as low as possible, a number of design changes were made to the machine. For example, the head of the machine has been lowered down to the bowl trolley, making it impossible to come into contact with the dough hooks during operation. In addition, the control panel is equipped with an emergency stop button.
However, all these measures do not prevent the dough hooks from continuing to rotate shortly after the machine has been switched off. There is a risk that the operator will lift the kneading head shortly after the machine has been switched off and come into contact with the still rotating dough hooks. This can lead to injuries and must be prevented by an additional safety module. DIOSNA has opted for the sensorless standstill module DN3PS2 from DINA Elektronik. The standstill monitor measures the electromagnetic force when the motor runs down and only switches when the value falls below the previously parameterized switching threshold. The parameterization is carried out very simply via the SET button directly on the module. The use of the is worthwhile for DIOSNA in many respects:
