Hand mixer FIMAR FX42

A hand blender transfers motor power directly into the bowl through a rotating shaft, eliminating the need to transfer mixtures between appliances. The motor spins a blade or whisk at the end of a long stainless-steel shaft; varying the speed lets the operator control how finely or coarsely the ingredients are broken down, and how much air is incorporated. This direct drive gives immediate response and consistent texture without overheating delicate emulsions or sauces.

To use the FX42, the operator selects the attachment—blade for chopping or whisk for aerating—then lowers the shaft into the container. The speed regulator on the handle is turned to the desired setting; the motor starts instantly and maintains the chosen speed regardless of load. When the mixture reaches the required consistency, the motor is switched off and the shaft withdrawn. The detachable shaft can be rinsed under a tap or placed in a dishwasher rack.

The FX42 is built around a 0.4 kW motor housed in an ergonomic handle that also contains the speed control dial. A 40 cm stainless-steel shaft connects the motor to the working end; the entire shaft is removable for cleaning or storage. The unit operates on a 230 V single-phase supply, the standard voltage for professional kitchen circuits.

The speed range of 2500 to 11000 rpm covers every common blending task: low speeds gently fold cream into sauces without splashing, mid speeds chop vegetables for soups, and high speeds emulsify mayonnaise or purée cooked fruit. The 40 cm shaft reaches the bottom of deep stock pots and tall mixing bowls without requiring the operator to lift the container. The overall height of 790 mm allows the handle to be gripped comfortably while the shaft is immersed.

Cleaning is limited to the parts that contact food: the stainless-steel shaft and attachments. Both can be washed in hot soapy water or run through a commercial dishwasher. The motor housing should be wiped with a damp cloth and never submerged.

The FX42 is supplied with a 40 cm blending shaft and a speed-regulating handle. Other attachments—whisks, choppers or shorter shafts—are available separately for different tasks.

This model is listed under hand-held blenders in the professional catering catalogue.
