Perfect Dough Every Batch. Lower Energy Costs. Higher Output — Trusted by Bakeries in 100+ Countries Worldwide
ISO 9001 • ISO 45001 • ARCO 4.0 Industry — RINA Certified
80+ years of Italian innovation — engineered for the demands of high-volume commercial bakeries, pizzerias, and pastry shops.
Founded in 1944 by the Sottoriva brothers in Marano Vicentino, Italy. Three generations of innovation — from simple machines to fully automated production lines trusted in 100+ countries.
Sottoriva’s proprietary mixing geometry achieves high working speeds while keeping dough temperature low — critical for gluten development and consistent artisan bread quality.
Spiral mixers for versatile dough, fork mixers for hard & semi-hard dough, double arm mixers for soft aerated dough — one brand covers your entire operation from 50kg to 320kg capacity.
7-inch touchscreen panels with 30 recipe storage, 8-stage programming, automatic speed transitions, and LED status indicators. Industry 4.0 IoT connectivity for modern bakery management.
RINA-certified quality management and occupational safety systems. Every mixer meets the highest European manufacturing standards — built to pass US commercial inspections.
Built with stainless steel bowls, cast iron fusion heads, and high-resistance alloy mixing tools. Machines from 430kg to 1,500kg — engineered for decades of non-stop commercial use.
Sottoriva’s SINTESI and EVO spiral mixers deliver high-efficiency mixing with minimal heat transfer — the key to perfect gluten structure and consistent artisan results. Belt-driven systems with independent motors provide precise speed control across every dough type.
Sottoriva’s patented double arm design oxygenates dough without warming it, even at high speeds. This unique mechanism produces lighter, airier bread and pastry dough that traditional single-arm mixers simply cannot match.
From compact spiral mixers for boutique bakeries to high-capacity double arm machines for industrial operations — Sottoriva has the Italian mixer for your production needs.
Sottoriva spiral mixers combine high efficiency, fast working speed, and low heat transmission. Available with fixed bowls, removable bowls, and self-tilting configurations for every production workflow.
The EVO spiral mixer features a removable bowl with hydraulic lifting and self-centering trolley — 130 to 300 kg capacity. Perfect for operations that need multiple bowls in rotation.

The ARCA fork mixer replicates the gentle, traditional hand-kneading motion — ideal for hard and semi-hard dough types where minimal heat generation and authentic texture are critical.
The ARCA’s fork action mimics traditional hand kneading — the gold standard for ciabatta, baguettes, and other artisan breads requiring minimal dough warming.
Get ARCA PricingSottoriva’s IBT double arm mixers oxygenate dough without warming it, even at high working speeds. The unique dual-arm mechanism produces lighter, airier results for soft dough, bread sticks, confectionery, and pastry.

Real results from operators who upgraded to authentic Italian Sottoriva mixers.
The SINTESI+ transformed our production. We went from 6 batches a day to 10 with better dough consistency. The touchscreen recipes mean any team member can produce perfect results.
We switched from a competitor to the IBT5 double arm and the difference in dough aeration is night and day. Our ciabatta and focaccia are lighter than ever — customers notice immediately.
The EVO with removable bowls lets us run three doughs in rotation without any downtime. Hydraulic lifting makes changeovers effortless. This machine pays for itself in labor savings alone.
Typical delivery takes 8-12 weeks from order confirmation, including custom manufacturing at Sottoriva’s Marano Vicentino factory near Vicenza, Italy, quality inspections, and ocean freight to your US location. Gianluca Specialty Imports handles all customs clearance, logistics, and delivery coordination.
Spiral mixers (SINTESI, EVO) are the most versatile — ideal for general bread, pizza, and pastry dough with high efficiency and low heat. Fork mixers (ARCA) replicate hand-kneading and are best for hard and semi-hard doughs like ciabatta and baguette. Double arm mixers (IBT series) oxygenate soft dough without warming it, producing the lightest and airiest results for bread sticks, confectionery, and pastry.
Capacity depends on your daily production volume and batch frequency. Small bakeries and cafes typically need 50-80 kg (IBT2-3). Mid-size bakeries and pizzerias often need 120-200 kg (SINTESI+, EVO, IBT4-5). High-volume operations and production facilities should look at 250-320 kg models (EVO 250/300, IBT6-7M). Our experts will analyze your specific production needs and recommend the optimal size.
Yes. All Sottoriva mixers include a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering structural components and mechanical systems. Electronic components and touchscreen controls are covered separately. Gianluca Specialty Imports provides US-based support, troubleshooting, and parts sourcing for the lifetime of your machine.
Fixed bowl (SINTESI, SINTESI+) models are simpler, more compact, and ideal when you’re running one dough type at a time. Removable bowl (EVO) models let you swap bowls instantly, running multiple doughs in rotation with zero downtime — ideal for bakeries producing several products simultaneously. The SINTESI+ R self-tilting model offers the best of both: a fixed bowl with automatic hydraulic discharge for production line integration.
Power requirements vary by model. Smaller models (IBT2) need as little as 1.2 kW, while the largest (EVO 300, IBT7M) require up to 10.3 kW. All machines are available in various voltage configurations for US compatibility. Gianluca Specialty Imports provides a full electrical requirements sheet and can coordinate with your electrician before delivery.
