The Mixer Into A Versatile Tool
Heavy Duty Mixing Drive is one of the most important tools in the commercial kitchen. It can be used for mixing, beating, kneading and emulsifying a variety of ingredients, including doughs, batters, sauces and creams. Its superior power helps to ensure agile workflow and efficient production for busy establishments. Its versatility also makes it an essential tool in food preparation operations, as it can be used to prepare made-from-scratch pastas and breads.
Tote Mixing
The IBC, or intermediate bulk container, is a re-useable and portable storage solution for liquid products and materials. They are typically cubic in shape and feature an integral shipping pallet base, which makes them easy to store and transport using a forklift. When repurposed for mixing, the top of an IBC can be fitted with an agitator that attaches to the existing cap on the container. This allows for the liquids contained within the tote to be mixed on site, returning any settled solids back to a suspended state.
There are multiple designs of tote mixers available, with the selection often being determined by the desired level of agitation and viscosity of the material to be mixed. For lower viscosity fluids such as liquid asphalt cements, concrete admixtures, contractor grade paints and mulch dyes, direct-drive models that incorporate a single mixing impeller built directly into the cap are ideal. For higher viscosity fluids that require a more aggressive level of agitation, gear-driven mixers are available.
Mixer Attachments
Adding a wide range of replaceable mixer attachments turns the mixer into a versatile tool that can be used across multiple culinary applications. For example, a flat beater is ideal for mashing potatoes and blending batters, while a dough hook speeds up the mixing and kneading of heavy doughs. A wire whip attachment is ideal for preparing light frostings and sauces, as well as beating egg whites and meringues.
Other accessories are also available, such as a strainer that helps to reduce lumps when mixing thicker ingredients, and a scale that weighs each ingredient as it is added to the bowl for accurate measurement. These can help to ensure that ingredients are mixed evenly and that recipes are consistent. Safety guards and shields are also available to prevent accidental activation of the mixer, preventing injuries to personnel in the event of an accident or equipment malfunction.
It's important to note that any time a mixer is being operated it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use and operation. This will ensure that the operator is not exposed to potentially dangerous electrical currents, and that they are not wearing loose clothing or jewelry that could become caught in moving parts. Additionally, it's always a good idea to have an emergency plan in case of any problems with the machine. This will allow for rapid response and resolution to avoid any accidents or downtime. When selecting a tote mixer for your facility, consult with the specialists at White Mountain Process to determine construction, type, size and style of mixer based on your specific application.
