CHOOSING THE RIGHT MIXER
Bakeries, pizza places, and scratch kitchens all require a good mixer to make their dough, batters etc. Choosing the right mixer for your operation is crucial to making high quality product as well as maximizing your yield and profitability.

WHAT SIZE IS YOUR BAKERY OPERATION?
To figure the size of your bakery operations, find out production capacity you need for each type of bread, pastry batter or other dough.
• Small – 4L mixer up to 10L quart mixer
• Medium – 10L to 30L
• Large – 30L to 80L
WHAT WILL YOU BE MIXING?
Different types of dough and batter will have different consistencies, and as a result not every mixer is right for every job - kneading a batch of thick, stiff dough is going to require more power than mixing meringue or icing, for example. A bread mixer and pizza dough mixer will be different than a mixer meant for whipping delicate egg whites.

WHAT TYPE OF USAGE DO YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR MIXER?
All mixers are designed to handle the rigors of commercial use, but some are better equipped for certain types of mixing than others; be sure to check the manufacturer's literature on the product pages for more information.

BOWL FEATURES
Commercial mixers can be purchased with either fixed or removable bowls. Fixed bowls cannot be removed for cleaning or other purposes. Removable bowls can be removed for cleaning, maintenance, or any other purpose.

BELT DRIVEN OR GEAR DRIVEN MOTORS
Commercial mixers can be purchased with either belt or gear driven motors. Belt driven motors have belts that turn to cause the motor to work, while gear driven motors have gears that grind to cause the motor to work. Gear driven motors tend to be more reliable for heavy duty mixing requirements but require more maintenance and produce higher noise levels. Belt-driven motors are typically used for less demanding job because high stress causes wear to the belt; they don’t require as much maintenance and are quieter than gear-driven motors.

SPEEDS
The speed at which a mixer works can greatly impact the overall result of the product being mixed. Spiral mixers generally have 1-2 speeds, while planetary mixers tend to stay in the range of 3-5 speeds.
WHAT WILL YOU BE BAKING?
Spiral mixers are best for dough, planetary mixers are best for thinner batters, such as cupcakes and gluten-free production.
TIME
Many commercial mixers include timers. These can prevent over-mixing of ingredients and increase productivity, as they allow crewmembers to attend to other duties instead of staying by the machine to monitor and end mixing.


TIPS
• Some mixer models come with a digital timer included, this is important! You always want a consistent product to keep your customers satisfied.
•Once you choose the quart capacity you need for your mixer, compare the horsepower among the different brands of mixers, the higher the HP the better and more lasting performance the equipment will have.
•Check warranty of the equipment, parts availability, suggested spare parts and parts pricing before you purchase your mixer. Some brands can have very expensive parts; other mixers can be so cheap that they might not have spare parts when an issue comes up.
