  • Cons: Its significant weight means it needs a permanent, dedicated spot.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Café in York needed to increase its baking output to keep up with demand for its famous scones and  cakes, but their smaller domestic mixer was struggling. They invested in the Hobart HSM20 to handle the larger, tougher batches.

"We were at a breaking point, constantly making small batches which was a real time-sink. The Hobart changed all that. The power is incredible, and  we can now do in one mix what used to take us four. It’s been a total revelation for our workflow."

Simon Fletcher – Owner

The upgrade allowed them to increase their daily bake production by over 50% while reducing staff prep time significantly.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the mixer is placed on a level, stable, and  non-slip surface capable of supporting its 95kg weight.
  • Before first use, thoroughly wash the bowl and  all attachments with warm, soapy water.
  • Check that the bowl is securely locked into the cradle and  the attachment is properly fixed to the beater shaft.
  • Always start the mixer on the lowest speed and  gradually increase as needed to avoid splashing.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean the mixer body with a damp cloth after every use; never use a hose or pressure washer.
  • The stainless steel bowl and  attachments are dishwasher safe for easy and  hygienic cleaning.
  • Regularly check the bowl lift mechanism and  locking pins to ensure they operate smoothly.
  • Never attempt to add ingredients or use a spatula while the machine is running.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Mixer

Not sure which mixer is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the perfect match for your business needs.

Consider Your Capacity

Think about your busiest day. A 20L mixer is great for small bakeries and  busy restaurants, but larger operations might need a 30L or 40L model. It's better to have slightly too much capacity than not enough.

Power is Paramount

Look at the motor's wattage (W). For heavy doughs like bread or pizza, you need a powerful motor (like this 370W model) that won't strain or overheat with constant use.

Check the Attachments

Ensure the mixer comes with the tools you need. A dough hook (for bread), a beater (for batters and  mixes), and  a whisk (for creams and  meringues) are the standard trio for maximum versatility.

Measure Your Space

Commercial mixers are big and  heavy. Measure your counter or floor space carefully, remembering to account for clearance around the machine for ventilation and  ease of use, especially for a bowl lift.

Variable Speeds are Vital

Different tasks require different speeds. A mixer with multiple or variable speeds gives you precise control, from slowly combining flour to whipping cream at high speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum flour capacity for this 20L food mixer for restaurants?

A: A 20-litre mixer can typically handle around 5-6kg of flour for bread dough, but this can vary based on the dough's hydration. Always consult the user manual for specific recipe guidelines.

Q: Can this machine handle very stiff, low-hydration doughs?

A: Yes, the Hobart HSM20 is a heavy-duty mixer with a powerful 370W motor specifically designed to cope with dense and  heavy doughs for bread and  pizza.

Q: How do you change the speed while it's in operation?

A: The mixer has easy-to-use, forward-facing controls that allow for simple speed adjustments. However, it's generally recommended to stop the machine before changing gears to protect the motor.

Q: Is it difficult to lift the 20-litre bowl when it's full?

A: Not at all. This model features a lever-operated bowl lift, which uses mechanical advantage to make raising and  lowering the heavy bowl smooth and  effortless.

A: Yes, the attachments connect to a simple and  secure beater shaft. They are designed for quick changes between mixing tasks.

A: For a commercial machine of its power, the Hobart HSM20 runs relatively smoothly and  quietly. While not silent, it's designed to operate in a busy kitchen environment without being overly disruptive.

Q: Does the mixer move or vibrate on the counter when mixing heavy loads?

A: The machine is mounted on a sturdy, fabricated steel pedestal and  weighs 95kg. This substantial weight and  stable base ensure it remains firmly in place, even when tackling the toughest jobs.

Q: Can the bowl and  attachments go in a commercial dishwasher?

A: Yes, the stainless steel bowl and  the included whisk, hook, and  beater are all designed to be dishwasher safe for easy and  hygienic cleaning.
