Best Yokoma Commercial Dough Mixers: 11 Models Compared
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Links on this page are affiliate links.
Yokoma makes commercial dough mixers, mostly double-action spiral kneaders where the bowl and hook turn together. Our top pick is the white 30-quart ALT170118, because it runs on ordinary 110V with a 2200W motor and adds automatic modes with a timer. The cheapest entry is the 15-quart ALT170190. We compared 11 models from their listing data, without hands-on testing. Only one of them, the 60-quart trolley model, is a planetary mixer, so this guide is about dough mixers rather than home stand mixers.
Our top pick: Yokoma 30 Qt 2200W Spiral Dough Mixer.

The Yokoma dough mixer range
At 30 quarts there are four 110V spirals: the 1500W ALT170637 and ALT170081 (the latter with automatic timing), and the 2200W ALT170174 and ALT170118 (the latter with a programmable panel). At 40 quarts, choose fixed speeds (ALT170177) or a 150-280 RPM knob (ALT170231). The 50 and 60-quart spirals need 220V wiring.
Two machines sit apart: the ALT170087 tilting-bucket mixer for 50 kg of stiff bun dough, and the ALT170239 60-quart planetary with hook, beater and whip.
Yokoma against other commercial brands
Yokoma prices its spirals below Italian and US bakery brands and offers 30 and 40-quart sizes on 110V, which many rivals reserve for 220V. Listings skip machine weight on most models and a few carry conflicting numbers, so ask the seller for the spec sheet.
For a home kitchen none of these fit; even the 15-quart model is a shop machine.
If you use a desktop display for recipes, specifications for the best OMOTON monitor stands outline riser dimensions.
Choosing a Yokoma mixer
-
Check your power
Up to 40 quarts runs on 110V; the 50 and 60-quart spirals and the planetary need 220V and an electrician.
-
Spiral or planetary
Spirals only knead dough; buy the ALT170239 planetary if you also whip cream or mix fillings.
-
Timer or not
The ALT170118, ALT170081 and ALT170231 list timed operation; the others are manual.
-
Dough type
The tilting ALT170087 is built for stiff bun dough, not pizza.
