Mixers
Commercial mixers are essential for any kitchen producing dough, batters, creams, or large-batch preparations. Choose between planetary mixers for general mixing tasks and dough mixers for bread and pastry work.
Whether you run a bakery, hotel kitchen, or catering operation, the right mixer cuts labour time and ensures consistent results across high volumes.
Commercial mixers for food preparation: planetary models for general mixing (batters, creams, fillings) and dough-specific units for bread and pastry production. Bowl capacities from 20L to 60L. Choose planetary for versatility; dough mixers for high-volume bakery work. Speed and capacity determine throughput.
When selecting a mixer, consider bowl capacity against your daily throughput, motor power relative to mix density, and available bench or floor space. Planetary mixers suit versatile food prep—creaming, whisking, folding. Dough-specific models handle high-gluten batches with dedicated spiral or hook attachments.
Compare speed settings, attachment compatibility, and ease of cleaning. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid kitchens. Check motor wattage and three-phase power availability before ordering.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions
What's the difference between your planetary and dough mixers?▾
Planetary mixers suit general mixing—batters, creams, sauces. Dough mixers are optimised for bread and pastry production with dedicated dough-handling geometry. Both ranges offer 2- or 3-speed operation.
What capacity should I specify for a medium bakery?▾
The 40L–60L range suits medium output. A 60L dough mixer handles 30kg flour capacity; a 60L planetary handles 15kg general product. Select based on batch frequency and ingredient type.
Are these models available in different speed configurations?▾
Yes. Planetary mixers typically offer 3-speed; dough mixers are 2-speed. Speed settings control mixing intensity and duration for different product types.
What power rating should I expect for larger models?▾
The 40L planetary is rated 1.85 kW. Larger 60L units draw higher power. Confirm your electrical supply (single or three-phase) before ordering to avoid installation delays.
What's the typical price range for a commercial mixer?▾
Entry-level 20L–25L units start around €3,950–€4,600. Mid-range 40L–50L models run €5,000–€7,100. 60L units reach €7,750–€8,070 depending on type.
Which model suits a café or small restaurant kitchen?▾
A 20L–30L planetary mixer (€4,600–€5,500) handles general mixing for sauces, batters and desserts. Ideal for operations not requiring dedicated dough production.
