Commercial Mixing Tools Conical Whisks

Commercial mixers are a must-have for any busy restaurant or bakery. They can be used for a variety of tasks including mixing, mashing and even whipping.

These durable mixers feature a rotating tool that mixes against a stationary bowl. They're ideal for artisan dough and batters that require quality yeast development. These versatile machines are available in a range of sizes with many models being compatible with interchangeable attachments.

Tote Mixers

Tote mixers aid growers, ag retailers and chemical wholesalers in performing safe, convenient Easy Mixing processes in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) at the farm or plant. These IBC agitators install into standard totes via the lid opening, using no brackets or auxiliary attachment points. A multi-impeller design creates up-pumping agitation to eliminate vortexing and tote blending with a gentle, yet thorough mix.

IBC tote mixers come with air, manual, electric or explosion motor proof drive options. Air drive models are lightweight and can be moved from tote to tote by a single operator, while the electric drive versions provide heavy-duty performance with the lowest weight in the industry. Each has a dedicated agitator segment that doesn’t require cleaning between tasks, reducing the risk of contamination.

Planetary Mixers

Planetary mixers are effective at blending much thicker ingredients and pastes that would take longer to mix or not work with other equipment. This is because the planetary mixing action works to shift everything within the bowl rather than just flinging the mixture out of the center.

Planetary Mixers also reduce the amount of manual labor and prolonged mixing time for a business, allowing employees to focus on other duties. The equipment helps eliminate waste and lower production costs as well, thanks to the uniform mixing that ensures less breakage of ingredients and a more consistent product.

This versatile commercial mixer from Sunbeam is an all-in-one tool for softening, melting and mixing. This mixer features a large 5.2L bowl and attachments including a beater, wire whip, and dough hook.

Spiral Mixers

The Eurodib LM30T one-speed spiral dough mixer offers precision mixing controls to create high-quality dough products. It’s the ideal choice for bakery, pizza or pastry shops with lower volume needs and a smaller footprint.

A programmable timer lets operators schedule mixing times to match their production goals. This feature also makes it easy for staff to make adjustments without needing to check the manual or call a technician.

Famag spiral dough mixers are engineered expressly for ideal dough-mixing and kneading results. These mixers are the perfect choice for high hydration artisan doughs such as bagels, ciabatta bread and pizza dough. Their kneading action preserves gluten structure and mixes ingredients thoroughly. With a variety of size options, you can find the right mixer for your operation.

Vertical Cutter Mixers

The Robot Coupe vertical cutter-mixer is a powerful all-in-one appliance that does the job of a food processor, blender and cutter in one. It’s ideal for restaurants, institutions, pastry shops, delis and caterers. It allows the processing of large volumes of meat, vegetables and smooth textured mousses as well as for mixing, grinding, powdering and kneading in a very short time. It is built with a removable bowl and tilting seal for easier cleaning and to empty the contents. It features a patented blade and an IP65 control panel with digital 0-15 minute timer for more accurate preparation time management. It meets National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) standards and is UL listed.

*Note: Depending on the model, the total volume of the bowl can vary from 24 to 63 qt.

Whisks are an essential kitchen tool for a variety of tasks. They have a narrow handle on one end and wire loops that link together at the other. The thickness and arrangement of these loops determines the whisk type.

For example, a classic balloon whisk has thick wires and is suitable for scrambling eggs, mixing batters, preparing a roux or custard, and creating an emulsion. It can also be used to stir a hot pan and is ideal for nonstick cookware.

A twirl whisk has stiff wires that form a diamond shape. You can find this whisk at bars for aerating egg whites to make cocktails like gin fizz, white lady and champagne flip. It can also be used to prepare a hot drink or to froth milk for a latte.
