DOUGH MIXER 40l

5 Things to consider before buying a dough mixer 40l

Are you a startup bakery and you are wondering which dough mixer to go for? Below are 5 reasons you need to consider.

1. Maintenance costs of the machine

The Bakewave technical department has experienced many customers come in to seek repair of mixers they bought elsewhere. This has taught us that indeed cheap is expensive, since most of these customers made their purchases based on dough mixer prices instead of quality.

You could end up spending over 400,000 kes maintencance cost if you went for a cheaper dough mixer in the market. By cheaper we mean the technology and materials used. As you can see above the lower image is taken from a cheaper dough mixer when we open the cover. The cast iron pulley easily breaks but the main costs of maintenance are from the device called “drive”.

This device is susceptible to electrical fluctuation and costs kes 100,000 to replace. You can replace two times in a year, meaning you will incur over kes 200,000. Whereas the Bakewave dough mixer will only costs you kes 4,500 to replace the contactors.  Check the video below for more details
