Choosing proper electric motor to knead dough

[sakan]

I am trying to desing a breadmaker, all parameters are known. To determine and define the sizes of shafts, belts, screws, electric motor and so on, I have to choose an electric motor. So, on choosing electric motor, it is well known two requirements are needed;torque and rpm. I don't have any problem on rpm, but I don't know how to determine required torque. All parameters such as size of kneading appliance and pan, density of dough, temperature are known, but I couldn't make them together to determine required torque. Is there anybody to show the path I have to follow?

To determine the required torque, you need to consider the total weight of the dough and the kneading appliance, as well as any other forces that may be applied to the motor. You also need to take into account the speed at which you want the motor to operate, as this will affect the amount of torque needed. You can then use a torque calculation tool, or consult with an electric motor specialist, to determine the necessary torque to power the breadmaker.
