The Mixer Can Manage Agitation
Whether you need to knead dough, mix a batter or whip cream, commercial mixers make quick work of even the Heavy Duty Mixing Drive. These versatile tools are available in a variety of styles to suit your establishment's needs and space. For example, countertop mixers offer versatility and ease of use for small kitchens, while floor mixers accommodate large bakeries or pizzerias and are freestanding appliances that handle heavy-duty mixing tasks.
Regardless of the style of mixer you choose, it's essential to carefully consider the mixer motor and shaft size to determine what type of materials they can manage. The motor's horsepower will also impact how quickly the mixer can manage agitation, and larger mixers generally require higher horsepower motors to ensure enough power to handle denser mixtures.
In addition to considering a mixer's motor and shaft size, consider the type of attachments you need and how much space you have for a mixer in your kitchen. Some mixers allow you to add a variety of additional attachments, such as dough hooks, flat beaters and meat grinders, while others come equipped with an accessory tray for holding multiple accessories at once.
The size of a mixer's bowl is another important factor to keep in mind when choosing one for your establishment. Typically, smaller units have smaller bowls, while larger ones have bigger capacities. Smaller models can manage up to 5 lbs of bread dough or thick pizza dough, and can mix mashed potatoes, cake batters, and whipped cream.
A mixer's blades and impellers also impact how well it can mix different types of ingredients. Spiral-shaped agitators, for instance, are ideal for dough mixing because they simultaneously rotate the dough and knead it, which reduces the risk of overworking or overheating the dough. These types of mixers are commonly used in bakery, pizzeria and other establishments that prioritize dough production.
If you need to mix a chemical or product that requires an IBC tote for storage, tote mixers are an excellent solution. These portable mixers optimize the mixing process by providing a specialized agitator that fits inside the IBC's standard 6" opening. The tote mixer's agitator is then powered by an electric or air motor, which can stir the contents of the tote, saving you time and energy from transferring the liquids into a secondary mixing vessel.
When selecting a tote mixer, you'll want to be sure the manufacturer offers an appropriate warranty in case the equipment fails or is damaged during the mixing process. For example, SilverChef offers a three-month parts and labor warranty on all of its refurbished and clearance equipment, while some business insurance companies offer equipment coverage as an added benefit to customers. Be sure to discuss the specifics of your business's insurance coverage with a trusted advisor to understand what's and isn't covered by the policy. You'll also need to understand how long you'll be required to store the equipment prior to using it in a live application.
