Mixer industrial - types, characteristics, manufacturers

Mixer industrial - equipment, without which there is not a single enterprise connected with the manufacture of confectionery. About their features, types and manufacturers, we will discuss in this article.

Types and features of operation

As already mentioned above, mixers are primarily used in confectionery, since their main function is to whip the mass, saturating it with air. In other words, without it there will be no biscuits, no meringues, no creams.

There are mixers:

• Submersible. The closest visual analogue is a submerged blender with a "whisk" nozzle. Convenient in that it allows you to work in any capacity. The main disadvantage is the need to constantly keep it, directing. Large models have fasteners with dynamic supports, which allow to mount the submersible mixer on the vessel in which the product is processed.
• Stationary (planetary). Such an industrial food mixer is good because there is no need to watch it - you simply add products to the bowl according to the technological map, and that's it. The term "planetary" means that in the course of work, the bowl (bowl) and the coronet rotate around its axis. The main disadvantage is the link to the stationary bowl. Unlike the previous model, you can not choose the capacity to work independently, but use the one that comes with the package.

Almost all planetary models designed for production include the following additional elements (in addition to the main corolla):

• Nozzle "scapula" - it is used for mixing fillings to uniformity, grinding oil for short dough and so on;
• Attachment "hook" - is used to mix yeast and brewed dough.

The first thing you need to understand for yourself is the fact that the mixer is not a kneader! Yes, it can be kneaded at a time sufficiently steep dough, but it is strictly not recommended to practice it on an ongoing basis - an industrial mixer from such a harsh life will fail without having fulfilled half the time allotted to it.

The dimensional ruler of stationary mixers is based on the bowl parameters. Its minimum volume is 4.8 liters, which makes such equipment very similar to conventional household equipment. It's a delusion. Mixer industrial, in contrast to the home, is able to withstand heavy loads without loss of performance. In other words, household models can work an hour or two a day at a maximum (and that on the principle of "10 minutes running, 20 - resting"), while industrial without interruption endure shifts at 8 o'clock.

Robot Coupe submersible mixer

The most popular in the modern market are submersible mixers of the French brand Robot Coupe. By and large, these are shredders, which are equipped with a nozzle "corolla". At the work of the unit such nuances do not affect. Submersible mixers are distinguished by the volume of the processed product, the total range is 1-400 liters at a time.

Mixer Industrial KitchenAid

A legend among confectioners. The American brand KitchenAid provides a wide range of professional equipment - from a toaster to a waffle iron, but an indispensable favorite is an industrial mixer (reviews can be found everywhere elsewhere). Declared life - a quarter of a century! There are only two models for the brand:

• Classic. An electric appliance with a bowl volume of 4.28 liters is a modest but working horse. Time-proved, but gradually withdraws from the market, as the model came to replace it with the item below.
• Artisan. It's not even a mixer, but a universal kitchen machine. It has more power, performance, it can work hours without harm to itself. Happens in performance with a bowl on 4,8 l (54 000 rubles) and 6,9 l (75 000 rubles). Is, in fact, a kind of transformer. To the mixer, you can buy a lot of baits that will turn it into a dough duster, a juicer or even a freezer for ice cream. There are a number of color schemes to choose from.

An excellent choice for small confectioneries. The main disadvantage is a small amount. According to reviews, one can conclude that many confectioners together with one mixer buy several additional containers, which allows them to work with several types of dough and creams at a time.

Mixer industrial Bear Varimixer

Representative of the League of Heavyweights. The Bear Varimixer brand factory is located in Denmark and supplies the equipment for the confectionery to the whole world. This is really not killed technique! What is at least the fact that since the foundation (and this is 1951) the company has specialized only in mixers, honing details, trying to provide its customers with impeccably working equipment. This brand is good where KitchenAid's working volumes are not enough (even 6.9 liters in a large production environment is very small). The Danish company offers a mixer for the dough industry with a capacity of 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200 liters. The price varies from 50 thousand to 2.5 million rubles.

Mixers from China

Those who are not ready at this stage of development of their confectionery business to invest in the above brands, it is worth paying attention to equipment from Kit. Do not be scared - in the process of work they behave no worse, the only thing is that their service life is about 2 times shorter. The company Starfood showed itself most well. At their aggregates, the range of bowls varies from 5 liters (20,000 rubles) to 80 liters (350,000 rubles). This solid mixer is industrial. The feedback of the owners will confirm the reliability and efficiency of such a machine. The only thing is - to test them for strength steep test is not worth it.
