Commercial Planetary Mixer

Product Description

A commercial planetary mixer is a versatile and essential piece of equipment for bakeries, restaurants, catering services, and other food processing establishments. Its unique "planetary" mixing action ensures thorough and consistent blending of ingredients.

Here's a short specification overview:

Key Features:

• Planetary Mixing Action: The agitator (mixing tool) rotates on its own axis while simultaneously orbiting around the inside of a stationary bowl. This dual motion ensures all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, leaving no unmixed pockets.

   

• Versatility: Capable of handling a wide range of tasks and ingredients, from heavy doughs to delicate batters and whipped creams.

   

• Multiple Speed Settings: Typically offers variable speed control (e.g., low, medium, high, or stepless variable) to suit different mixing requirements and ingredients.

   

• Durable Construction: Built with heavy-duty materials, often stainless steel for the bowl and contact parts, to withstand demanding commercial use and ensure longevity.

   

• Attachments: Comes with a standard set of interchangeable attachments for various tasks:

  • Dough Hook: For kneading heavy doughs like bread, pizza, and bagels.

     

  • Flat Beater (Paddle): For mixing batters (cakes, cookies), icings, mashed potatoes, and general mixing.

     

  • Wire Whip (Whisk): For whipping light ingredients like egg whites, cream, and meringue.

     

  • Some models may also offer attachments for slicing vegetables, grinding meat, or making pasta.

     

• Safety Features: Includes mechanisms like bowl guards, safety interlocks (preventing operation if the bowl or attachments aren't properly secured), and overload protection for the motor.

   

• Ease of Cleaning: Designed with removable bowls and attachments for easy disassembly and cleaning, often made of food-grade stainless steel.

   

Common Specifications:

• Capacity: Ranges from small countertop models (5-20 liters) to medium (20-80 liters) and large floor-standing units (80-500+ liters) to suit various production volumes.

  • Smaller mixers (e.g., 5-20 liters) are suitable for cafes, small bakeries, and restaurants.

  • Larger mixers (e.g., 40-80+ liters) are ideal for high-volume bakeries and central kitchens.

     

• Power: Measured in Watts (W) or Horsepower (HP), typically ranging from 0.25 HP for smaller units to several HP for larger industrial models. Voltage and phase (single-phase or three-phase) vary by model and region.

   

• Dimensions & Weight: Varies significantly based on capacity and model, impacting floor space requirements.

• Body Material: Often powder-coated metal or stainless steel for the exterior, with stainless steel bowls.
