Industrial & Commercial Mixers
Commercial mixers are used to consistently knead dough, whip cream, and blend ingredients. Choose from models intended for all-purpose use or models specific to mixing dough.

Commercial Mixers by Type and Configuration
Selecting the right configuration is essential for a successful operation:
- Industrial Planetary Mixers – Versatile units from Hobart and Globe use an agitator to rotate on its axis while moving around the bowl. Perfect for mixing, whipping, and mashing.
- Industrial Spiral Mixers – Specialized equipment designed for high-volume dough production, these utilize a rotating bowl and spiral hook to reduce friction heat for better dough quality.
- Industrial Countertop Mixers – Compact, space-saving units from KitchenAid and Hamilton Beach, these are ideal for restaurants with limited floor space and low- to medium-volume production.
- Industrial Floor Model Mixers – Heavy-duty, high-capacity mixers standing taller than five feet, these are designed to handle hundreds of pounds of dense dough in demanding environments.
Choosing the Right Commercial Mixer for Your Operation
Understanding your specific needs will help you find the perfect fit:
- Gear-Driven vs. Belt-Driven – Gear-driven industrial mixers provide consistent torque for dense ingredients, while belt-driven models offer quieter operation and adjustable speed control.
- Batch Capacity & Horsepower – We offer units ranging from 5-quart bench models to 200-quart floor models with motors as powerful as 5 horsepower for the densest doughs.
- Mixer Safety Features – Most industrial models include a removable stainless steel bowl guard, interlock systems, and no-voltage release to ensure safe handling of moving parts.
- Standard Attachments – Enhance your equipment with commercial-grade flat beaters for batter, wire whips for aeration, and spiral dough hooks for kneading.
