Shop Mixers

Commercial Kitchen Company supplies commercial mixers — bench-top and floor-standing planetary mixers, bakery spiral and forked dough mixers, vertical cutter mixers, stick blenders and milkshake mixers. Whether you are whipping cream at a patisserie, developing bread dough at a bakery, mixing batter for a café or blending soup straight in the pot, the mixer has to hold your peak batch without labouring.

Our range covers planetary mixers from Robot Coupe, Hobart, Hamilton Beach, Anvil and Birko, spiral and forked dough mixers from Mecnosud, and milkshake mixers from Roband. Bowl capacities run from small bench units through to floor-standing bakery machines.

Planetary and spiral mixers come with bowl guards and safety interlocks, and planetary machines take standard beater, whisk and dough hook attachments. Delivery, installation arrangement and electrical connection can be quoted alongside the equipment, and SilverChef finance is available on eligible equipment.

How to Choose the Right Commercial Mixer

A commercial mixer is one of the most-used machines in a bakery or patisserie — multiple cycles a shift through dough, batter, cream and meringue. The decisions that matter are mixer type, how the machine is sized, the attachments it takes, and how it is installed.

Planetary, spiral or forked

Planetary mixers drive an attachment in an orbit around a fixed bowl. They are the versatile all-rounder — cake batter, cream, meringue, light doughs and general mixing — and the most common commercial mixer type. Spiral mixers use a fixed spiral hook with a rotating bowl and are built specifically for developing bread dough; larger bakery models drive the bowl and the hook on separate motors and reverse the bowl to help unload. Forked mixers are a third dough-mixing style, also rated by the weight of finished dough they turn out.

Sizing: bowl litres or dough weight

Planetary mixers are sized by bowl capacity — small bench machines from around 7L, mid-size machines around 20L, and floor-standing models well beyond that. Dough mixers are rated differently: spiral and forked mixers are specified by finished dough weight and the flour weight they take, with bowl litres quoted separately. Do not compare a planetary bowl figure against a spiral dough rating — size a dough mixer on the batch weight you actually mix, at peak, and check the minimum water-to-flour ratio suits your recipes.

Attachments and drive

Standard planetary attachments are the beater or paddle for general mixing, the whisk for cream and meringue, and the dough hook for bread — usually supplied with the machine. Some planetary mixers also carry an attachment hub that drives accessories, so check hub compatibility before buying an accessory rather than after. If the machine will run dough daily, look for a metal, gear-driven transmission.

Speeds and controls

Fixed multi-speed models cover most bakery work. Variable-speed machines let you change speed while mixing, which helps when ingredients go in mid-mix. Timers, pulse functions and tilt heads are all worth having on a mixer that runs all day.

Safety and installation

Bowl guards with micro switches and interlocked bowl supports stop the machine when the guard is lifted — standard on commercial planetary mixers and worth insisting on. Larger bakery spiral mixers are not plug-in appliances; several are supplied without a plug and must be connected by a licensed electrician, so factor the electrical work into your fitout budget and lead time.

Stick blenders and drink mixers

Not every mixing job needs a bowl. Stick (immersion) blenders work soups, sauces and purees directly in the pot or bain marie, from compact handheld units up to long-shaft models for stock pots. Spindle milkshake mixers cover café and takeaway drink service. Both sit in this range alongside the bench and floor machines.
