How to Choose the Right Hobart Mixer for Commercial Foodservice

You need a commercial foodservice mixer that’s durable and provides consistent mixing results every time. But before you choose a mixer, you should ask yourself... what’s my volume and what am I using the mixer for?

What's My Volume?

Bakeries, pizzerias, schools, and other institutions will most likely need a floor mixer, because they produce a large volume of products. Countertop mixers are best suited for establishments that make small batches of things like cookie dough, egg whites and breads.

Sizing a Mixer: In picking the right mixer, you want to make sure it can meet your needs and the requirements of your operation. Such issues as the amount of flour you put in each batch, whether you’ll be using high-gluten flour, and whether you’ll be using chilled water or ice can have a significant effect on your selection.
