Adexa IBT Series Planetary Mixer-FAQs
What is a planetary mixer used for?
Planetary mixers are designed to mix, whip, and knead a wide range of ingredients. They are ideal for dough, batters, cream, and other mixtures, making them perfect for bakeries, restaurants, and commercial kitchens.
Why is it called a planetary mixer?
The name comes from the motion of the mixing attachment, which rotates on its axis while moving around the bowl, similar to the movement of planets. This ensures thorough and uniform mixing of all ingredients.
What are the main attachments for a planetary mixer?
Most planetary mixers come with a dough hook for kneading dough, a wire whisk for whipping cream or egg whites, and a flat beater for batters and general mixing tasks.
How long do planetary mixers last?
With proper care and maintenance, commercial planetary mixers can last between ten and twenty years.
How do I maintain an Adexa planetary mixer?
Maintenance includes cleaning the bowl and attachments after every use, lubricating moving parts as recommended in the manual, regularly checking the motor and electrical components, and following a scheduled preventive maintenance plan.
What is the working principle of a planetary mixer?
The mixer operates by moving the attachment in a planetary motion. The attachment rotates around its own axis while traveling around the bowl, ensuring all ingredients are mixed evenly.
How do I choose the right planetary mixer?
Choosing the right mixer depends on the bowl capacity for your batch size, the motor power to handle heavier dough, and the versatility of attachments for various mixing tasks.
What is the benefit of a planetary mixer over a regular mixer?
Planetary mixers offer more even mixing, can handle heavier loads, and are versatile for multiple tasks, including kneading, whipping, and blending.
Which is better: planetary mixer or spiral/dough mixer?
Planetary mixers are versatile, suitable for batters, dough, and creams, while spiral mixers are best for large batches of bread or pizza dough but are less adaptable for other tasks.
Can a planetary mixer handle large batches?
Yes, commercial planetary mixers like the Adexa IBT Series can handle small to medium batches effectively. For very large production, industrial models are available.
