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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Importing Sottoriva Mixers to USA

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.

Sottoriva has been building bakery machines since 1944 — founded by the Sottoriva brothers in Marano Vicentino, Italy, now in their third generation. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, every Sottoriva mixer features ISO 9001-certified manufacturing, heavy-duty construction with stainless steel and cast iron components, and the ARCO 4.0 Industry smart control platform. They export 85% of production to 100+ countries, with a dedicated Sottoriva America facility in Charlotte. The company also maintains a Bread Technology Center and a museum documenting 80+ years of Italian baking innovation.
