Planetary Mixers

Planetary Mixers are the swiss-army knife of the bakery. They come with several attachments to handle a variety of mixing jobs but are primarily designed for cake mixes, beating eggs, whipping cream and light dough work. Make sure you understand the flour/dough capacity of the mixer which is not related to its bowl size. Planetary mixers are available from small, benchtop 5-7kg (capacity) versions all the way up to 60kg and 80kg versions which are very popular with large bakeries and food production facilities.
