What Blender Does Planet Smoothie Use to Make Smoothies?
Planet Smoothie was founded in Atlanta in 1995 and now operates more than 100 locations across the U.S. The chain serves smoothies and bowls, emphasizing fast service and delicious, fresh ingredients. To support high-volume drink production, each location is equipped with multiple Blendtec Stealth™ blenders.
How Do Planet Smoothie Blenders Work?
Blendtec's Stealth 885 blenders use 1,800-watt motors with 34/5 peak horsepower output. They're rated for up to 200 cycles per day and use durable Eastman Tritan™ jars with thick, blunt blades that crush ingredients rather than slicing through them for consistent blending. The plastic sound enclosure helps reduce blending noise and can be removed for simple cleaning. Blendtec Stealth machines feature six push buttons that activate preprogrammed cycles and an OLED display.
The Benefits of Blendtec Blenders
Blendtec blenders are designed for consistent performance in high-volume operations. The Stealth 885's top features include:
- Efficient Performance: Innovative WildSide+ jars feature a unique design that can blend drinks in as few as 14 seconds
- Advanced Controls: Operators can choose from 42 preprogrammed cycles or manually adjust blender settings
- Simple Installation: An 8.6-in. by 9-in. footprint fits countertop or in-counter installation to maximize food prep space
How Blendtec Commercial Blenders Can Improve Your Kitchen
Blendtec blenders help solve common challenges in commercial smoothie shops, bars, and other drink-focused operations, such as slow service, loud operation, and machine downtime.
Service Speed
Blendtec blenders feature powerful motors and patented jar designs that reduce blending time. Easy-pour jars allow operators to quickly fill cups while the Stealth Nitro X series enables in-cup drink mixing to streamline service steps and reduce waste.
Blending Noise
Blenders used in front-of-house preparation can be disruptive for customers and can hinder communication among staff. The sound covers and air-management technology in Stealth blenders reduce noise to conversational levels, improving the experience for guests and workers.
Reliability
Blendtec's WildSide+ and FourSide jars have high-volume capacities and are made from durable Tritan. Titan X brushless motors on Stealth X models are more efficient and can last up to three times longer than standard brush motors.
