New Planetary Mixer

Buying a New Planetary Mixer: Your Guide to Success

February 3, 2017/in Mixers, News /by Ben

Replacing or purchasing your first planetary mixer is an exciting prospect. But before you choose just any old planetary mixer, it’s important to make sure you’re investing in the piece of equipment that will solve your problems now, streamline and add efficiency to your business and support you as you grow in the right direction.

Why Go with a Planetary Model?

A planetary mixer, also known as a vertical mixer, is named as such because the agitator turns on a rotating shaft while the bowl remains stationary, mimicking the way the planets orbit the sun. This type of commercial mixer gives the baker more versatility than a traditional spiral mixer, as it can effectively work with a variety of substances. Spiral mixers are primarily used for mixing doughs, while planetary mixers can handle batters with a higher moisture content like cake batter or whipped cream. Planetary mixers also offer a number of different attachments, adding to their versatility.

If you’re looking for a wide range of functions for your mixer, this is the model type to use. If you’re looking for a mixer that will be dedicated to denser doughs such as pizza or bread, go with a spiral.

Absorption Ratio Will Determine Motor Capacity

You’ll need a more powerful mixer when you’re mixing high-density ingredients. Typically, planetary mixers have lower horsepower ratings than spiral mixers, but since you aren’t focusing on making giant batches of pizza dough over and over, you don’t have to go for the most powerful. What probably matters more is size.

Find a mixer that has adequate capacity and can fit in your commercial kitchen. You want to make sure you don’t overload the mixer, as this can wear down the internal parts quickly, but you also don’t want it to overtake your workspace.

Features to Look For

Look for safety features and perks that make operations more efficient, such as a bowl lift or a bowl guard. For floor-stand mixers, foot pads can keep it firmly in place.
