A Guide to Globe Mixers

Which Globe Mixer Do You Need?

Any operation from bakeries to pizzerias look to Globe for solutions to its mixing needs. Globe mixers are available in sizes ranging from compact countertop units to large spiral mixers that are perfect for even the highest-volume operations. Some hallmark features common to all Globe mixers are premium alloy steel gear transmissions, durable overbuilt shafts, front-mounted controls, and included accessories that help maximize the machine's potential. Aside from these shared characteristics, each style of Globe mixer includes features geared toward specific applications.

Globe Countertop Mixers

Globe's smallest-volume mixers are countertop models, available with capacities of 5 or 8 quarts. These are best suited to smaller operations or establishments looking for a unit that will be used sparingly throughout the day. The 5-quart mixer features an 800-watt motor and can accommodate 5 pounds of dough at a 60-percent absorption ratio; the 8-quart model is slightly more powerful with a 1/4-HP motor.

Globe Bench Mixers

Designed for more intense applications than countertop mixers, Globe's bench mixers come in 10-, 20-, and 25-quart capacities and feature heat-treated, hardened steel gears and shafts capable of holding up through frequent use. Each of these units features a front-mounted touchpad control panel, a removable stainless steel bowl guard, and a No. 12 attachment hub that can support accessories such as graters and slicers.

Globe Floor Mixers

Constructed with heat-treated hardened steel gears and shafts and a cast iron body, Globe's floor models are designed for large-volume, heavy-duty mixing jobs; like the bench mixers, these models include a front-mounted control panel. Floor mixers come in four sizes: 30-, 40-, 60-, or 80-quart models. Also falling under the floor mixer category, the SP30P and SP62P models are optimized for mixing pizza dough.

Globe Spiral Mixers

Set apart not only by their much larger capacities – they come in 130- or 175-pound-capacity models – Globe's spiral mixers work by rotating a spiral arm on a fixed axis while rotating the bowl counterclockwise, while the planetary mixers mentioned in other sections feature an agitator that orbits around a stationary bowl. The dual motion of the spiral mixers, as well as the heavy-duty construction and high-torque motors, make these the ideal choice for operations that revolve around high-volume dough production.

Choosing Your Globe Mixer

Once you're familiar with the differences between each style of mixer, you can begin to narrow down your choices. Perhaps the most important factor to consider is, of course, the type and volume of product you plan to make each day.
