Planetary mixer ROLLMATIC SOLL160-E

A bowl lifter raises and lowers the mixing bowl of a planetary mixer without manual lifting, letting the operator load, tilt and empty the bowl at waist height. The motor drives a vertical carriage that grips the bowl rim, then lifts or lowers it along a fixed column. This removes the strain of handling heavy dough or batter and keeps the bowl stable while the mixer arm moves inside it.

The operator slides the bowl onto the carriage, locks it in place, then uses the control panel to raise the bowl until it seals against the mixer's drive hub. Once mixing is complete, the same control lowers the bowl back to the floor or worktop for unloading. The carriage remains aligned with the mixer's axis, so the bowl does not swing or tilt during movement.

The SOLL160-E is built on a steel frame with a vertical column of 2300 mm total height. The carriage and locking mechanism are stainless steel, chosen for strength and resistance to cleaning chemicals. A 1.1 kW motor provides the force needed to lift bowls up to 260 kg when fully loaded, while the 400 V three-phase supply matches the power available in professional kitchens.

The weight of 223 kg for the lifter itself indicates a floor-standing unit that is moved with a pallet truck or forklift, not carried by hand. The 2300 mm height allows the bowl to reach the mixer's drive hub without over-extending the carriage, and the footprint fits beneath the mixer's base.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel carriage and frame with a damp cloth and approved sanitiser. The motor housing is sealed to prevent water ingress, and the vertical column has no horizontal ledges where flour or dough can collect.

The SOLL160-E is designed to fit ROLLMATIC BULL100 and BULL160 planetary mixers, lifting bowls of 100 to 160 litres capacity.
