Types of Commercial Mixers We Can Repair

Commercial mixers are used to mix ingredients using a motor and gears, which rotate the beaters. A speed controller varies the amount of current being used and manages the speed of the beaters. Typically comprised of stainless steel with metal components, to withstand long-term and frequent use in commercial kitchens, mixers are versatile and available in many varieties, including:

• Planetary mixers
• Spiral mixers
• Hand mixers
• Countertop mixers
• Floor or stand mixers
• Attachments

Some of the Common Issues with Commercial Mixers

If you are having trouble with your commercial mixer, don’t just wait for the problem to go away. Get the fast and effective repairs that you need by contacting the experts at Chronister Enterprises. We can repair virtually any type of commercial mixer, fixing issues that include, but are not limited to:

• The mixer won’t start.
  A mixer that won’t start may be the sign of a faulty switch or a defective motor fuse. Removing the housing to expose internal components will be necessary.
• Certain speeds won’t function.
  If certain speeds on your mixer won’t function, a faulty speed control may be to blame. In this case, service or replacement would be necessary.
• The beaters won’t turn.
  If the motor on your mixer is humming but the beaters still won’t turn, this may be a sign that the motor is seized and in need of replacement.
• There is excessive vibration.
  Bent or worn beater shafts may cause excessive vibration when mixing, indicating a need for replacement. Or, broken gears could be to blame.

Why is it important for a professional to handle the repairs?

Commercial mixers are far more powerful than their residential counterparts and, thus, require more attention to safety instructions. The U.S. Department of Labor considers these machines to be hazardous, only allowing employees over the age of 18 to operate them. When you let a professional service your commercial mixer, you can ensure that it lasts longer and uses less energy.

Professional maintenance helps keep these appliances in use to generate income for your business. Technicians who are knowledgeable in the repair of these appliances as they relate to your industry can also prevent unnecessary costs due to state or federal violations. Furthermore, low quality replacement parts used by unqualified technicians could result in the loss of valuable factory warranties.
