Hospitality Connect supplies 69 commercial planetary mixers and mixer accessories for bakeries, pizzerias, patisseries and production kitchens, from benchtop models through to heavy-duty floor-standing machines, including Hobart, Bear and Atlas Bakery.
Bowl capacity is the first decision and should be sized on your largest single batch rather than the average, because a planetary mixer needs the bowl properly loaded to mix evenly. Then check the attachments: a dough hook handles bread and pizza dough, a flat beater suits batters and fillings, and a whisk aerates cream and egg whites. Dough is the hardest work a mixer does, so match motor power and gearing to how often you mix it. Benchtop mixers suit cafes and small kitchens, while floor models suit continuous bakery production.
