Commercial Mixing Tools An Food Or Recipe Preparer

Commercial mixers help prepare batters, frostings and other doughs and sauces. They're available in sizes from small to large and come with a variety of attachments for kneading, grinding, shredding and whipping. The type of attachment you use depends on the food or recipe you're preparing. For example, flat beaters are shaped like paddles for mixing batters. Dough hooks are ideal for kneading bread or pie dough. Wire whisks are useful for whipped cream and marinades. A grater or meat grinder is also an option that allows you to quickly grind and chop ingredients into a paste or a finer shred.

A planetary mixer is equipped with a hub that can accept different plates to provide additional food processing capabilities. Depending on the plate used, this type of EasyMix can slice vegetables, grate cheeses and produce breadcrumbs. It can also shred quick cooking vegetables, salad ingredients and potatoes for hashbrowns. Some models can even grind and chop meats to make sausage or meatballs.

The tote mixer is an industrial mixing equipment that works well with liquids. It is often used to combine chemicals and other substances in IBC totes (intermediate bulk containers). These tote mixers can homogeneously blend a variety of liquid materials, from water-like products to high viscosity and thicker foods or chemicals.

Stainless steel tote mixers are equipped with a sanitary industrial pneumatic agitator that uses compressed air or gas to drive the agitator and mixing tool. It can also be driven by a standard industrial-duty TEFC electric motor that can be powered in various sizes, phases and voltages based on the needs of the application. Various sanitary stainless-steel piping and accessories are also available to connect to the tote mixer, including quick-connect interchangeable tools and a bowl scraper.

While the mixer is blending, a built-in timer can be set to let you know when the mixture is ready. A safety-cut switch activates if the gears change during operation, which requires that the machine be shut down before another speed is selected. The 40760 is a durable, belt-driven workhorse that powers through long days in high-output commercial kitchens.

If you're preparing large batches of dense dough on a daily basis, a spiral mixer may be the perfect choice for your bakery or pizzeria. A spiral model is specialized for dough and features a fixed spiral beater around which the bowl rotates. It is more precise than a planetary mixer and eliminates the need for bowl changes for smaller batches.
