Planetary mixer Stalgast 782050

A planetary mixer blends, whips and kneads by driving a beater in two motions at once: the beater spins on its own axis while the axis itself circles the bowl. This double movement folds every part of the mixture into the centre, so air is trapped evenly in foams and batters, and dough develops without overworking. The method suits light pastries, meringues and mousses that need volume and a fine, even texture.

The operator lowers the bowl onto the base, locks it in place, then fits the chosen attachment. A spring-loaded lever raises the head so the beater clears the rim. Once the ingredients are in the bowl, the safety cover is closed and the speed dial turned to the desired setting. The mixer runs until the mixture reaches the right consistency, then the head is raised, the bowl removed and the contents scraped out.

The base is cast aluminium, giving a stable footprint on the worktop. The 5 L bowl and all parts that touch food are stainless steel, while the safety cover is clear polycarbonate with a small opening for adding ingredients without stopping the machine. A removable kneading trough simplifies cleaning and swapping batches. The spring mechanism lifts the motor and beater assembly clear of the bowl for safe loading and unloading.

A 0.3 kW motor drives the beater through a smooth speed range from 131 to 852 revolutions per minute, letting the operator match the speed to the task without sudden jumps. The 230 V supply is standard for a single-phase kitchen circuit. The 12.2 kg weight keeps the unit steady on the worktop while allowing it to be moved by one person when needed. The footprint of 230 by 350 mm fits a compact space without crowding adjacent appliances.

Cleaning is limited to the parts the entry names: the stainless-steel bowl and attachments are washed after each use, the polycarbonate cover is wiped down, and the aluminium base is cleaned of any spills. The removable trough and spring-loaded head simplify access to all surfaces.

This model is the 5 L variant in the Stalgast planetary-mixer range. The catalogue places it in the light-duty section for pastry and foam work.
