In any commercial kitchen environment, the use of at least one large-scale cooking mixer is vital. A robust and reliable food mixer saves time, and allows you to increase volume and variety. Planetary mixers are the first choice for most catering businesses, thanks to their versatility and performance.
A Multi-Functional Mixer
Catering establishments produce a range of meals and food items. For bakeries and patisseries, a planetary mixer perfectly prepares batches of bread/ pastry dough, as well as whipping cream, meringues, and icing for cakes. In restaurants and canteens, an industrial kitchen mixer helps mash potatoes, grind meat, grate cheese and mix dessert ingredients. Within schools, hospitals, and the hospitality industry at large, a planetary food mixer machine is invaluable.

So what exactly is a commercial planetary mixer? A planetary mixer has a single motor and a stationary bowl, with an agitator that moves around the bowl like a planet. This ensures the contents are thoroughly mixed. What makes this type of heavy-duty mixer appliance so multifaceted are the diverse attachments you can use to complete various tasks. For instance, an industrial planetary food mixer with bowl allows you to whip egg whites and make soufflés with the aid of a wire whisk attachment.

And a handy dough hooks makes throwing together delicious pizza dough and pasta effortless.
