Planetary Mixer
A commercial planetary mixer is designed with an offset shaft that revolves within the mixing bowl while the bowl itself remains stationary. With this construction, your mixer will reach flour, sugar, and butter in all parts of the bowl without leaving areas of unmixed ingredients. Many of these planetary mixers also come with a power take-off hub, so you can add slicing, chopping, and whisking attachments and mix ingredients to different textures.
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.
Choose from a commercial planetary mixer made for light, medium, or heavy-duty applications depending on how frequently you’ll use it. These mixers also come with a range of speeds to help you better mix your bread dough, cake batter, or mashed potatoes. From several quarts to over one hundred quarts, you’re sure to find a planetary mixer for small to large batches.
