Planetary mixers get their name from the particular movement of the arm, which simulates the revolutionary motion of the planets. Indeed, the action of the arm helps to obtain a homogeneous dough, as the whip kneads efficiently in the centre as well as at the sides of the bowl. Particularly suitable for both liquid and solid preparations, its use can vary widely: from whipping cream to the most common salty recipes, such as pizza dough.
Heavy-duty planetary mixers with single-phase power supply represent the standard version and are the commonly used, ideal for small restaurants with a few covers, where low amounts of preparations are required.
On the other hand, three-phase planetary mixing machines are much more powerful and are indicated for longer work sessions.
Another key aspect is the CAPACITY OF THE BOWL: Heavy-duty planetary machines are characterised by a medium to large bowl capacity, which is why they are used almost and exclusively in contexts where high productions are required. In fact, heavy-duty planetary mixers for pastry, pizzerias or home use are becoming increasingly popular, for cooking enthusiasts who want to try their hand at more complex preparations in the hobby sector. On our website it is possible to choose among planetary mixing machines with bowl capacities ranging from 10 to 40 L.Equally important is compliance with CE standards, which are fundamental for choosing the best planetary mixer.
All our professional planetary machines feature bowl and whips built in stainless steel, a material extremely resistant to water, humidity, food acids, and both organic and inorganic acids, which makes the whole machine unit highly suitable for many preparations for the food industry.
The reasons for deciding on a professional planetary mixer are numerous and can be summed up in the following points:
