OIL PUMP PLANETARY MIX1060 (#1

A planetary mixer is a commercial piece of equipment designed to prepare food, dough and other products, replacing manual labor through a mechanical system that allows the continuous production of large quantities of food. The name “planetary mixer” describes the system used in the equipment that mixes the dough in the direction of the planets rotation in the solar system. The planetary mixer is comprised of a bowl for ingredients placement, mixing elements (whisk, hook, flat beater, scraper or other system), motors that start the bowl and whisk movements, and interconnection of the machinery that allows to the operator the control of the mixing process and other labor process (programming times and speeds; mixing elements).

Pumps are commonly used in restaurant equipment to move fluids by mechanical action. Here are just a few examples examples: 

• Pumping water in ice machines
• Pumping hot water in dishwashers
• Pumping oil in a deep fryer
• Pumping syrup or other thick liquids in a dispenser or soda fountain
• Pumping ice cream mix in a soft serve machine
• Pumping condiments such as sauces or dressings  

They can be powered electrically, pneumatically, or mechanically, depending on the specific needs of the equipment.
