The Machine Tools of Varimixers planetary mixers
The basic equipment:
Hook · Whip · Beater
Hook
It starts out as a stainless steel rod that is lathed until conical, so it is thick at the top and thin- ner at the bottom. A different specially designed hydraulic press is then used to create each bend and angle. Cold bent, and incredibly strong. The curve, bends and angles ensure that the dough
is pressed down into the bowl during kneading, while the lowest bend turns and folds the dough. The pattern coming from the movement of the pla- netary gearbox ensures a completely uniform mix- ture. It is so gentle that even the most temperature sensitive yeast dough is kneaded quickly and ef- ficiently. The specially designed pizza dough hook with a double bayonet sucket for the Varimixer AR40P and AR60P handles up to 50 per cent more yeast dough than traditional mixers.
Whip
The wire whip is designed to precisely match the bowl’s diameter and follow the shape of the bowl. The size and wire thickness are matched to each machine’s size, so that the maximum amount of air is whipped into the ingredients in a minimum of time. The carefully designed whip is made of stainless steel. Each wire has a different shape and length. They are bent using specially developed equipment and then attached and adjusted by hand. The result is a hygienic, fully sealed solution with no mecha- nical connections.
Beater
The beater is also geometrically designed and dimensioned so that its movements match the diameter of the bowl. The dis- tance to the base and sides is the same at the top and bottom. The vertical and trans- verse ribs are also angled to create optimum vertical flow in the ingredients during the mixing processes. The beater is made of cast stainless steel, ensuring smooth, easy-to- clean corners.
Scraper
When using the beater, whip or hook, the sides of the bowl can be automatically scraped from top to bottom using a scraper. All the ingredients stuck to the sides of the bowl are pushed into the beating or mixing process. The result is a larger and more uniform mixture and major time savings, as the machine does not have
to be stopped for manual scraping during the operation. The scraper blade is available in nylon and heat-resistant Teflon, and clicks quickly and easily in place on the stainless steel tool. Both the scraper and the blade are dishwasher-safe.
