Commercial Planetary Mixer & Bakery Mixer Suppliers

Unlike the function of a spiral mixer is to gently and efficiently mix dough, commercial planetary mixers are versatile appliances designed for regular intensive use in commercial kitchens. Planetary mixers are specifically developed to prepare large volumes of product and are used in a variety of workplaces such as bakeries, restaurants, pizzerias and culinary schools.

This type of mixer utilises a fixed bowl coupled with a spinning agitator attachment. Attachments add versatility to planetary mixers as they are interchangeable. The most common attachments for operation include beaters, whisks and dough hooks. 

Catering professionals may choose to use a planetary mixer when preparing whipped, beaten or mixed food products. Some of these products include cake batter, meringues, icing, sauces, creams as well as various types of bread, pizza and cookie dough.

Planetary mixers are chosen based on specific characteristics that best match the user’s needs. When choosing a mixer there are a number of key characteristics to consider. These include; the size of the mixing bowl, the type of transmission, the settings provided by the control panel, the available safety features, and the accessories provided by the manufacturer.
