Commercial Blender Parts: What You Need to Know

The type of commercial blender jar you use can have a big impact on the results you get from your blender. Professional blender containers are shaped to guide blending product down toward the blade, preventing staff from needing to stop the blender and scrape the container's sides. In this category, you'll also find replacement blades for your blender to keep your equipment crushing ice and blending smooth concoctions.

We also carry accessories for commercial blenders, such as tampers and rinser stations, which can help you get the most out of your professional blender. Sound enclosures can help keep the ambient noise levels down, creating a more pleasant consumer experience. Some jars come with blade assemblies, but you can also purchase the blade assembly separately to save a bit of money over replacing the entire jar.

Common Questions About Commercial Blender Jars

What are the differences between square and round jars?

Round jars seem like the most logical choice for a professional blender – the blade apparatus is round, so why not the jar? Round jars are recommended for mostly liquid concoctions, but square jars can function better with thicker substances. The reason for this is a bit complicated: round jars don't have corners that food can get stuck in, but the blending substance tends to get caught in a spin, causing some pieces to avoid the blades entirely. On the other hand, square jars provide conflicting angles that prevent foods from spinning endlessly. The substance you're blending will hit the sides and be tossed back into the blade apparatus, blending more thoroughly.

The difference between the two is relatively minor, and every professional blender container will be made to remedy the problems each jar style faces. Some jars have scrapers installed for the sides, while others have unique shapes, such as cloverleaf, to ensure everything is blended together and nothing sticks in a corner.

Do I need to buy a blade assembly separately?

Some professional blender containers come with blade assemblies inside of them, which alleviates the need for installation. However, if you only need a new blade assembly – for example, if your blades are dull and ineffective or if the hardware has degraded – you can save a bit of cash over replacing the jar as well. On the other hand, if your blade assembly is fine but the jar has cracked, you can buy a jar without a blade assembly. Before doing so, you should always consult the product specification sheets provided by the manufacturer to ensure you have the tools and expertise necessary to change out commercial blender parts.

Do I need to get the exact jar that matches my blender?

We recommend getting the jar that matches your blender exactly as each manufacturer makes their equipment in slightly different ways. If you gamble on getting a different jar, it might not even fit on the base. Even if it does fit, it'll likely break very soon because the jar won't be built to match the speed and power of the other motor.

Why would I want color-coded commercial blender jars?

Color coding can prevent common food safety mishaps. Rather than having to remember to read a label, operators can tell which blender jar has the allergen-free mixture just by the color. Color coding enables you to prepare allergen-free mixtures or vegan mixtures and meet any other dietary restrictions that your guests might have. You can also prevent cross-contamination of potentially dangerous foods, such as chicken, if you have a blender color coded specifically for that purpose.
