Planetary mixer SIGMA BM80

A planetary mixer combines two motions to fold, whip and knead large batches evenly. The beater rotates on its own axis while travelling around the bowl, ensuring every part of the mixture meets the tool. This dual action prevents unmixed pockets and gives consistent texture without manual scraping, essential for doughs, batters and creams at scale.

The SIGMA BM80 follows this principle with a 15-speed belt variator that adjusts the beater speed in fine steps. The operator selects the speed, lowers the motorised bowl to the working height, attaches the chosen tool—spiral, blade or whisk—and starts the cycle. The stainless steel safety guard swings into place before the motor engages, preventing access while the machine runs. Once mixing is complete, the bowl lifts automatically, ready for unloading.

Construction centres on a heavy-duty frame that supports the 80 L bowl and the motorised lift mechanism. The bowl itself is sized to handle the stated volume without overfilling, and the 3.1 kW motor provides the torque needed for dense mixtures. A three-phase 400 V supply is required, matching the standard industrial circuit found in professional kitchens. The 280 kg weight ensures stability during operation but means the unit is moved only with a pallet truck or forklift.

Controls are straightforward: a speed selector, a bowl lift switch and a start/stop button. The 15 speeds cover the range from gentle folding to vigorous kneading, allowing the same machine to handle meringues, pizza dough and cake batters. The removable safety guard simplifies cleaning and tool changes.

The 730 mm width, 1000 mm depth and 1490 mm height define the footprint on the floor and the clearance needed above. The bowl dimensions of 480 mm by 506 mm set the maximum batch size and the space required for loading and unloading. Regular upkeep involves wiping the stainless steel surfaces, checking the belt tension and lubricating the lift mechanism as specified in the manual.

Standard equipment includes the spiral, blade and whisk, each suited to a different mixing task. The BM80 carries EAC certification, confirming compliance with Eurasian safety standards.

The catalogue places the BM80 in the heavy-duty mixer section, alongside other planetary models designed for high-volume production.
