Commercial Mixing Tools Handheld Mixers

Whether you’re running a bakery, pizza restaurant or cafeteria, commercial mixers make short work of combining ingredients. The right mixer size and style depends on your menu items and kitchen space.

Spiral mixers — also known as dough mixers — have a stationary spiral agitator and are great for making dough. Other styles, like planetary mixers, have power hubs for attaching accessories and rotating an attachment.

Tote Mixers

Tote mixers for intermediate bulk containers are designed to aid growers, ag retailers, and chemical wholesalers in performing safe and convenient Easy Mixing processes inside IBC storage totes. They mix settled or separated liquids and suspending solids within a tote to ensure consistent product quality and safety.

These tote agitators easily install in IBC tank containers via their top screw cap opening and feature multiple impellers that create up-pumping agitation for thorough mixing. They're available in air or electric drive models and come in sizes that fit standard poly IBC totes and Schutz-style IBC tanks (also called "Schutz style" totes).

To determine the best IBC tote mixer for your application, consider your container size and style, desired performance, and the flammability of your material. Choose a mount style that fits your container's lid or threads. Then, choose a motor that matches your requirements, such as an industrial air motor, an explosion proof electric motor, or a digital geared mixer.

Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC)

IBCs have many features and benefits that make them a popular choice for businesses in multiple industries. The containers are designed to be reusable and are easy for users to move from one location to the next. They also provide consistent cargo packaging and meet federal regulations for shipping chemicals and other liquids.

Rigid IBC totes are usually cube-shaped and sized close to common pallet standard dimensions, making them ideal for transporting, stacking, storing, and distributing materials. They also have integrated pallet bases to improve maneuverability via forklift and pallet jack channels.

Metal Oil and Gas totes are a common type of IBC, used for petroleum-based applications, such as blending and dilution of oil and fuels. These totes are built with large 22" bolt-and-clamp manways, stainless steel outlet valves, and top-located lifting lug eyelets. They are UL 142 and ASME pressure-rated to handle Class IB combustible fuels. They are available in both plastic and stainless steel options.

Hand mixers are small electric kitchen tools that have a handle and ports for two beaters or blades. They can be used for a variety of tasks, including mixing batter, blending soups and sauces, and whipping cream. These devices are usually less expensive than stand mixers and take up much less space on the counter.

In recent years, manufacturers have begun to introduce more features and options into their handheld mixers. For example, many now come with a number of different mixing speeds, which can be helpful for creating more precise recipes. Additionally, they often feature a "boost" button that provides a quick burst of power. Many also include extra attachments, such as whisks and flat blades. In addition to all of these features, it's important that a hand mixer feel lightweight and comfortable to hold when in use. The best models can also rest on their base without tipping over, making them convenient to set down momentarily while working.

Powered mixers combine all the features of a commercial mixer amplifier into one convenient unit. They feature a mixer to connect and balance multiple microphones and instruments, effects to enhance your sound, and power amplification that drives both house speakers and monitors in some models. Some also have the ability to save and recall your setup, a huge benefit for bands who often play the same venues on a regular basis.
