New Vollrath planetary mixer range and attachments from Foodservice Equipment Marketing
Foodservice Equipment Marketing (FEM) has launched the new Vollrath heavy duty planetary mixer range with a comprehensive selection of attachments. These workhorses of the commercial kitchen are fitted with a number 12 hub to accommodate a meat grinder or vegetable slicer to increase food preparation options beyond mixing.
Designed for demanding applications and constant use, the gears and shafts of all mixers are made of heat-treated alloy steel for long life and quieter operation. Thermal overload protection automatically shuts off the mixers to prevent damage to the motor in the event of a problem.
The planetary mixing action, with three speed transmission, ensures consistent mixing regardless of volume, to give a smooth homogenous result. For ease of operation there is a timer with automatic stop and audible shut-off signal. The mixers can either be bench- or floor-mounted with surface protection foot covers for added stability and safety.
FEM expects the most popular model to be the MIX1020, with an 18.9 litres capacity and 0.5hp motor. This mixer can process 11.3kg of bread and roll dough, 9.1kg of thick pizza dough, 6.8kg of mashed potatoes or 9.1kg of cake batter. Or it can whisk up 0.9 litres of meringue and 3.8 litres of cream to fill them!
FEM supplies the mixer with a dough hook, wire whisk, spatula, stainless steel mixing bowl and safety guard as standard. Other accessories available include grinder and slicer attachments, agitators, bowls and reducer kits.
