Planetary mixer SAMMIC 1500180

A planetary mixer combines a rotating beater with a counter-rotating bowl to fold ingredients evenly without scraping. The beater moves in one direction while the bowl turns the opposite way, pulling the mixture from the sides into the centre. This motion aerates batters, emulsifies sauces and develops gluten in dough without overworking it, giving consistent texture whether whipping egg whites for meringues or kneading bread dough.

The operator lowers the 5 L stainless steel bowl into position with a lever, then selects the tool: a spiral hook for dense dough, a paddle for sauces and batters, or a whisk for light foams. A stepless electronic variator adjusts speed from slow folding to rapid whipping, controlled by a single dial. Once the protector guard is closed, the motor starts; if the bowl or guard is misaligned, a double microswitch cuts power immediately. After mixing, the bowl lifts off for direct transfer to the next stage.

The mixer is built on a stainless steel frame with a 310 mm depth, 382 mm width and 537 mm height, small enough to sit on a worktop in a restaurant kitchen serving up to fifty covers. A 0.3 kW motor draws 230 V single-phase current, matching standard UK commercial circuits. The 13.7 kg weight allows one person to move it between stations without a trolley.

Cleaning follows from the removable parts: the bowl, hook, paddle and whisk lift off for washing, while the protector guard unclips for wiping. The stepless variator has no fixed speeds, so there are no detents to trap residue. NSF International certification confirms that materials and construction meet hygiene standards for food contact.

The MB-5E comes as a single model with three attachments included: spiral hook, paddle and whisk. It is listed in the catalogue under countertop mixers for small to medium professional kitchens.
